<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nSo Fox News commissioned a poll<\/a> from two partisan pollsters; Anderson Robbins Research (D) \/ Shaw & Company Research (R). <\/p>\n They polled 1,049 registered voters between September 28 and 30th and 53% of them favored “adding U.S. ground troops to the fight against ISIS” while 41% opposed it. 73% of the polled folks said that the president hadn’t been tough enough on Islamic extremists. 58% said that they don’t think airstrikes alone will defeat ISIS, but that ground troops would do the job. 57% responded that the president hasn’t been aggressive enough. <\/p>\n A Gallup poll <\/a>just before the invasion of Iraq in 2003, 59% of Americans supported the use of troops to topple the Hussein regime. Five years later<\/a>, they said that history will judge the Iraq War to be a failure, in March, 2013<\/a>, Iraqis polled said that their security situation was better without American troops.<\/p>\n See, that’s why we need a leader, not a poll reader. American public opinion is fickle and not worth a cup of warm spit. Trying to govern by sticking a wet finger in the air will result in exactly the kind of foreign policy we have now – which is not a policy at all, but a series of knee-jerk reactions to impending crises.<\/p>\n I doubt very much that many of those polled are themselves in the military, or know someone in the military who would be deployed to Iraq in a combat role, so they’re voting with their emotions – ISIS bad, must kill, but me no kill. Me go mall, shop, drink $12 coffee, me feel better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
