WASHINGTON (CNN) — Five years after he green-lighted the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, President Bush faced strikingly low approval ratings as he reaffirmed his commitment to “accept no outcome but victory” in the war.Just 31 percent of Americans approve of how President Bush is handling his job, according to a poll released Wednesday, the anniversary of the start of the conflict in 2003.
Sixty-seven percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey disapprove of the president’s performance.
The 31 percent approval number is a new low for Bush in CNN polling and is 40 points lower than the president’s number at the start of the Iraq war. [For the remainder of this article, go here.]

BUSH the criminal could have a rating of minus 31 and it would make no difference in todays controlled world. Like Uncle Dick told the reporter, he just don’t give a damn what the public thinks. Remember they have the power of the three branches of government and the major world media on their side.
I am going along with Mike Malloy, let the bastards have the mess they made. Vote for McCain, but make sure he has to work with a VETO proof congress. That is if we can find any honest real democrats.
Dave – I hope you’re not serious about voting for McCain, b/c if you do, you’re helping create the “mess.” But knowing you thru your comments, you were ironic or sarcastic.
YES Frank, glad you know me. However Malloy did make a lot of sense. I don’t want those bastards to all skate clean and retire to some Sultans yacht. Of course you know I am still going with the Neo-Con plan A. 9/11 two and Chucklenuts stays.
