Whatever happened to courage and optimism?

Half of Americans have concerns that terrorists might be winning the war on terrorism, and one in five feels strongly that way, according to an Associated Press poll that found many people pessimistic about their security.

Fears about an attack against this country are high. Two-thirds in the poll said it was likely terrorists would strike before the November elections. And a third said it was likely there would be an attack at one of the political conventions this summer. ’’Terrorists are winning the war for the hearts and minds of the people in the Mideast,’’ said Christine Wyatt, 52, of Clarkston, Mich. Doubts about the war on terrorism are higher among women, older Americans, people who make lower incomes and people with less than a high school education.

#4  â€™â€™Terrorists are winning the war for the hearts and minds of the people in the Mideast,’’ said Christine Wyatt, 52, of Clarkston, Mich.

Terrorist are dying faster than Air America radio at an American Legion convention. You call that winning? I do. For civilization.

I guess folks do not realize that Iraq is what artillerists call a target rich environment. They are being drawn into this fight like flies on cow dung.

Terrorists are losing the war and they know it.

On another note: This bombing in Basra. Am I the only one who thinks that Fallujah ceasefire is history since there are attacks taking place elsewhere, espeically near a critical supply node?

#3  Anonymous4426...Presidents do not create or destroy jobs. Depsite the political rhetoric, hard work, initiative, and peronal innovation are traits that keep people employed. And if "you got no job" its best to turn inward to determine why rather than scapegoat the "administration." As one wag once suggested: you are a naïve, “impish icon of idiocy.”

#2  All of whom are also being shafted by the administration. Hard to be optimistic about anything when you got no job.
