Bush the incompetent. Even the military gets it.

...It didn't matter what part of the country you were in, not a single incumbent opponent of Bush was defeated anywhere. But it wasn't until we could see the proof of this that the true debacle that is Iraq began to come into clear focus. I say 'begin' because as far as I am concerned very few people really get it, even now. I don't even see a full recognition of the magnitude of the shift from my fellow bloggers. But the military is starting to get it.

Barely one in three service members approve of the way the president is handling the war, according to the new poll for the four papers (Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Times). In another startling finding, only 41% now feel it was the right idea to go to war in Iraq in the first place.

And the number who feel success there is likely has shrunk from 83% in 2004 to about 50% today. A surprising 13% say there should be no U.S. troops in Iraq at all.

This comes even though only about one in ten called their overall political views "liberal."
