William Gibson in Denial

I just heard a very pathetic segment from Fox News anchor William Gibson's talk radio show that does a good job of demonstrating how ridiculous some war supporters are willing to be to make the war look popular. In response to a statement by Washington Post columnist William Arkin that a majority of Americans do not support the war in Iraq, Gibson touted the results of a new poll as showing that Americans are behind the president on Iraq. The poll question? "Does what happened in Iraq matter to your security in the United States?" Gibson touted that 77 percent of those polled had responded "Yes." Exactly how desperate and in denial does one have to be to claim that the results of that poll even vaguely suggest that a majority of Americans support the war?
