A strident minority: anti-Bush US troops in Iraq
EFL from CS Monitor; reassuring in that military is more conservative, but troubling that it's not a stranglehold and that Fahrenheit 9/11 is taking effectThe film's prevalence is one sign of a discernible countercurrent among US troops in Iraq - those who blame President Bush for entangling them in what they see as a misguided war. Conventional wisdom holds that the troops are staunchly pro-Bush, and many are. But bitterness over long, dangerous deployments is producing, at a minimum, pockets of support for Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry, in part because he's seen as likely to withdraw American forces from Iraq more quickly. Posted by: Edward Yee 2004-09-21 |
