Polls of Americans uniformly show widespread opposition to the war in Iraq, distrust in President Bush's leadership of the war and no confidence in the Democrats to resolve the occupation of Iraq. The public wants a new Iraq policy, but it sees a lack of leadership emanating from Washington, DC. The people need to lead the elected officials on Iraq.

The people are ahead of Washington. They are seeing reality despite the propaganda of the two parties. They don't believe US commanders who attempt to paint a rosy picture of Iraq. They see violence escalating, do not believe the Iraq occupation is worth the cost and do not believe the Democrats or Republicans have a plan to resolve the conflict.

More and more Americans are seeing the war as unlikely to be won. In addition, they are reaching the conclusion that the war is decreasing security of Americans.
