The President is charged with the security of the United States in  
his role as Commander in Chief.

Your posting of the BBC poll of Iraq residents had many interesting  
points.

100% of all Iraqi residents questioned agreed that attacks on Iraqi  
civilians is not acceptable, and  97% find recruitment of foreign  
fighters to come to Iraq is not acceptable.  That is not surprising.

In 2004 17% of the people interviewed thought that attacks on  
Coalition forces was acceptable.
Now, 57% find it acceptable, and that increases to 92% of the Sunni  
arabs questioned who believe that al Qaeda attacks on U.S. and  
coalition forces are acceptable.

So, what does that say about the improvement of American security in  
the region?  What does that say about the effect of American  
intervention in Iraq?
