We love our polls and at TPM Cafe they talk about what the troops are saying and feeling about Iraq and the “surge”. And with that, the White House Word Police are at it again…it ain’t no surge - it’s escalation.

Curious about what members of the military actually think about President Bush, the Iraq war, and the question of whether there should be a “surge” in troops? Then check this out: The latest annual Military Times poll of members of the military has just come out, and guess what it finds? For the first time, more respondents disapprove of Bush’s handling of the Iraq war than approve of it. It also finds that a minority — all of 38% — think there should be more troops in Iraq than are already there. And only half think success in Iraq is likely — down from 83 percent two years ago. More after the jump.
