How is it that you guys at First Read jumped on the CBS poll that showed that more people trusted the military than Congress to find a solution for Iraq; but are completely SILENT on the newest CBS poll that shows that support for a withdrawal from Iraq has gone UP (within the margin of error, though) after Petraeus' dog and pony show?

This is a CAMPAIGN FUNDRAISING EVENT for the UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, and it's being held by GIULLIANI in LONDON, ENGLAND.
If the Clinton's did something like this the Limbaugh/Hannity/O'reilly crowd would be yelling about it from the rooftops.

Not only does the London fundraiser trouble me (unless it is limited to American voters/citizens living overseas), but the failure of the event to be analyzed/criticized by Fox News will only increase my already-existing distrust of a network that claims to support the war and the troops fighting it but fails to show true respect to those who make the utlimate sacrifice by somehow having no time to report when those ultimate sacrifices have been made.

There is no greater appetite for that kind of long-term troop commitment now: just 22 percent would accept U.S. troops staying in Iraq for two years or more. Seventy-two percent want troops to remain there for less than two years. "

Not So, what are you trying to do. We get it you hate your fellow americans. But what value does your hate bring to this arguiement. You want to talk about 3rd grade behaiviour, Republicans can not read or write beyond 3rd grade. We liberals have to bring it down to 3rd grade levels so idiots like you and your reading impaired president can understand the issues. Talk about 3rd grade, all the republicans can do is spout slogans and sound bites because they have an attention span of 30 seconds. JUST LIKE 3RD GRADERS. Funny you talk so much about 3rd grade, but it was republicans that called anyone that did not support the war in Iraq unpatriotic and cowards. Calling other people names and demonizing them is 3rd grade stuff. Not So, like our president, just live on hate. Not So, would vote against any bill a democrat presents because Not So hates liberals. And guess what, Not So would vote for Hitler as long as he hated liberals. I am so sick and tired of republican chicken hawks that want to squack how much they hate liberals. These cowards will not fight for there country and to compensate they have to tear down fellow americans to feel better. It is so sad to see people driven by hatred and are gutless cowards.

Guys,

You may not realise it, but.... There are tens of thousands of Americans resident in Great Britain- many of them from key states such as Ohio and Florida . Both Democrats Abroad and Republicans Abroad have good sized organisations in all Eurpean countries, all full of Americans who want to be involved in the election. Theres nothing sinister about either a Democrat or Republican visiting London to touch base with Americans who can support their campaign.
