Meph, declining poll number for President Bush is not relegated to just the war. Other factors are involved too. Unfortunately I do not know for sure so it's mostly conjecture and speculation on my part, my guess is economy, jobs, social security, trade imbalance with China etc. Scroll around CNN.com or even BBC and you should be able to find an article on Bush's falling numbers. I thought I saw one recently. Come to think of it, the same goes for my governor, Ahnold.

However, there has been a steady decline in recruitment and renlistment due to consideration for the war - i.e.- length of tour of duty, parental concerns for new recruits, war fatigue.

In regards to "freedom fries" and "humble pie", there's precedent for this. Back in WWI or II (can't rememeber), the US changed hamburgers and saurkraut to "liberty steak" and "liberty cabbage". Hahaha! Some things never change?

Well I thought it was funny...

What's trolling??
