Bush approval rating low, surveys say
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
With his job approval rating at a measly 28 percent, President Bush is in hot water for his policies in Iraq.
According to most recent surveys, just 28 percent of Americans think the president is doing a good job, the lowest in a decade.
But pollsters say that even without running a poll; just wandering down to the local coffee shops you will see the amount of anger and frustration as a result of Iraq war, the mounting casualties, skyrocketing energy prices and the government's policy.
"They are angry about the president's incompetence and his general unwillingness to acknowledge with some humility that he has made some terrible and tragic mistakes regarding the mission in Iraq."
Last month, thousands of American anti-war protesters, carrying signs that read "Bush Lied, Thousands Died," and "End the Occupation," rallied in Washington and other U.S. cities demanding the return of U.S. troops and the end of Iraq war- It was the largest gathering since the war began in March 2003.
It's not just the Democrats or liberals who're angry at Bush's policy, but also conservatives and Republicans show increasing dissatisfaction with Bush's policy.
Steven M. Warshawsky, a conservative commentator says that "Bush clearly has retreated from the promise he made to the country on September 20, 2001, the night he declared the War on Terror".
An editorial at The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, says that "In the case of Iraq, the American public has failed its soldiers," "we did not prevent the Bush administration from spending their blood in an unnecessary war based on contrived concerns about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
On the other hand, the U.S. is trying to interfere in the Middle East policy despite the firestorm of criticism from many of Arab nations because of its intervention, by imposing American-style reforms, claiming it's part of its mission to bring democracy to the Third World Nations.
