Hearts & Minds: The Surge Is Wanking!

To go along with the President's 28% approval rating:

WASHINGTON - Eight out of 10 Arabs have an unfavorable view of the United States and only six percent believe the U.S. troop build-up in Iraq in the last year has worked, said a poll of six Arab countries released on Monday.

The poll by the University of Maryland and Zogby International, also found most Arabs did not see U.S. foe Iran as a threat and they sympathized more with Hamas in the Palestinian Territories than U.S.-backed Fatah.

"There is a growing mistrust and lack of confidence in the United States," said Shibley Telhami, a University of Maryland professor in charge of the annual poll.

The survey canvassed the opinions of about 4,000 people over the past month in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. It has a margin of error of about 1.6 percent.

Of those polled, 83 percent had an unfavorable view of the United States and 70 percent had no confidence in the superpower.


So here's my question to Sen. John McCain, since he's the candidate most likely to continue the Bush Administration's foreign policy(and since Chris "We're His Base" Matthews will be drooling over him tomorrow): how can you keep up such a strong support for the occupation of Iraq and the Bush Doctrine knowing 83 of the Arab world are not big fans of America right now?

Comments

McCain doesnt seem to care much what the American people think about Bush policies, so there's really no reason for him to give a rat's ass what the Arabs think.
