Poll: Majority Of Americans “Don’t” Trust Petraeus’ Iraq Report
Call me crazy, but shouldn’t that say “won’t”? Given that the report isn’t even out yet?
There’s been all sorts of speculation about what Petraeus’ report to Congress about Iraq coming this September will say. And while that speculation may have varying degrees of accuracy, some of it may even be spot-on, none of it is based on a full reading of the entire report. Nobody has yet heard what then General will say to Congress in his testimony.
So why on earth would we trust a public opinion poll of a bunch of people who a) don’t even know what will be in this report and b) are apparently so close-minded that they don’t care what it says anyway?
As I’ve asked before, can we just wait until this thing comes out before we all decide what it says? Or, at the very least, could the media hold off on telling us what to think about it until after we can all pretend like we’ve read it?
