Most polls support what the "OP Ed column" identified at the top of this thread, that they question Bush's leadership / decisions on Iraq but are unsure about replacing him with Kerry (58% question Iraq, 34% support, 8% undecided). For you to assert that most Americans understand and fully agree with the Bush Policy for this war is pipe dream. I would say that of the 34% or so that support this, many are Republicans who are just walking in lockstep with their party and don't think for themselves.
