I guess the American people aren't so stupid after all, if this poll by
CNN is any indication. It's been 5 years since the invasion and this how the public views it:
71 percent said they think U.S. spending in Iraq is a reason for the nation's poor economy.
66 percent said they oppose the war and it was not worth it.
61 percent of those polled said the next president should remove most U.S. troops from Iraq "within a few months of taking office."
One of the biggest foreign policy blunders in USA history? I don't think there is much question about that. BTW, a White House spokesman said the war had cost the U.S. $406.2 billion through December 2007.
