Few can forget the imagery of President George W. Bush flying by military jet onto an aircraft carrier off the West Coast and announcing to the assembled troops and television viewing public that the major combat operations in Iraq were finished.
That occurred a year ago on May 1, 2003. However, U.S. troops remain in Iraq and have faced fierce resistance from Iraqi insurgents since that time. Also, at Bush’s request, Congress has authorized billions of additional dollars to help fund the efforts in Iraq, and the administration is likely to increase the number of troops stationed there. But far worse is the little-reported 680 allied fatalities since May 2003 (an average of 1.86 per day), a massive number considering Bush announced a victory 12 months ago. Some victory indeed. Source: War Casualties.
A review of Gallup Poll data on Iraq shows that Americans continue to support the war effort, but by a slim margin. The public generally believes that things are not going well for the United States in Iraq and expresses doubt that the Bush administration has a clear plan for handling the situation there. Recent Gallup data suggest a growing public acceptance for an extended and perhaps increased military presence in Iraq. Still, half say it is at least somewhat likely the situation could turn into one similar to what the United States faced in the Vietnam War.
