I have never once in my entire life said that professional polling services are a structure of the United states Government. So why are you stating that is beyond me. However I will say our great government is one where we all give our consent to to be governed And that is what makes it work so well. With that consent from me I do expect a certain degree of accountability and pure unadulterated honesty when those at the very top have to make a choice between war or peace in the world.This nation has many structures in place to balance power. Polls are not one of them.
In March 2003 President George W. Bush had a very clear choice on that subject:
(A) Start a preemptive war and invasion into a Muslim country that had shown zero aggression against his neighbors or the United States of America since September 2001 even though that nation was being bombed extra heavily during the summer of 2002 by the United States and the United Kingdom. The purpose for preemptive war was is two separate the dictator of that nation from suspected possession of weapons of mass destruction and potential future development of same. The threat construct for justifying invasion is that the dictator could give weapons of mass destruction to global terrorists which could strike anywhere in the world at a future date.
The mid-March 2003 invasion dead was not set due to any kind of immediate threat. It was launched at a time where are military personnel would be able to beat the heat in the desert on the way to Baghdad. I believe (and this is personal opinion) right now that the reason the invasion was launched in March 2003 and not held off until the fall with a longer period of time before our troops would face the devastating summer heat is because It was a political choice. 2004 was an election year and President George W. Bush wanted to have the sure fire upcoming Iraq victory parade scheduled on the books for September when the voters would decide whether he gets a second term or not. Launching an invasion in September 2003 may not have been soon enough to achieve the military victory in time for the election.
or
(B) allow the United Nations Security Council inspections under 1441 that had been in progress and working for 90 days prior to March 2003 to continue for another 90 days. That was the timeframe that the professional weapons inspectors had stated was a reasonable deadline to complete their work.
President George W. Bush of course chose option (A) to get the political campaign rolling.
In defense of President George W. Bush‘s choice for a war Correll has to give some kind of explanation for that date. That is because President George W. Bush proclaim to the American people that he was a man of peace and that he would exhaust all peaceful diplomatic means before choosing war. So the best answer Correll has been able to come up with for 17 years as to why Bush started a war in March 2003 was because Saddam Hussein was “poking the bear“ and “just fucking around“ and the majority of the American people had no patience for his defiant shit anymore .
However we can know for certain due to professional polling services that Correll is pulling an opinion out of his ass because he has zero to back up his claim that Americans had lost their patience with the dictator Saddam Hussein.
We know from numerous polls consistently over the four month period leading up to the war that six out of 10 Americans wanted the United Nations involved in any decision regarding regime change in Iraq. They specifically also said they wanted their president George W. Bush to deliver on his promise to disarm Iraq peacefully and the way to do that was to allow the United Nations Security Council inspections to continue until completed.
Hence we got at Correll making up a story that I had claimed that polling was part of the checks and balances system iwithin the Constitution of the United States of America.
It’s desperate times for the Iraq invasion warmonger side.
