Back in this country, new poll figures continue to show declining support for President Bush and the Iraq invasion. According to The Washington Post and ABC News, less than one-quarter of the population thinks the nation is on the right track. Six out of 10 Americans think the Iraq war has not been worth fighting. On Friday, President Bush dismissed the poll numbers and vowed to continue the occupation.

President Bush: “I will make decisions about our troop presence in Iraq and Afghanistan based upon the considered judgment of those who wear the uniform, not based upon the Gallup poll or political party considerations.”
