Support For Iraq War At New Low

American support for Iraq war at all-time low- poll

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Support for the war in Iraq among Americans has tumbled to an all-time low, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll published on Saturday.

Majority now thinks the war was a mistake.

Only 44 percent of those surveyed said the United States did the right thing by invading Iraq, the lowest rating since the question was first asked by the poll more than two years ago, the poll showed, according to The New York Times.

The Katrina effect?

Furthermore, more than eight in 10 Americans are very or somewhat concerned that the war is costing money and resources needed in the United States, the poll showed.

And Bush may have announced his "reconstruction" program for the Gulf but Americans may not trust him to pull it off since they don't think he knows what he's doing in Iraq.

Nearly 60 percent now disapprove of the president's handling of the Iraqi conflict and nearly half of all Americans are not proud of what the United States is doing in the war, the poll found.

Nearly half of Americans are ashamed of their country. Why do 50% of the Americans hate America?
