A clear majority of voters say they approve of the United States' recently launched airstrikes in Iraq, a Fox News poll released Wednesday shows. But the survey shows President Obama gets low marks overall for his handling of Iraq.

Fully 65 percent of Americans say they approve of the airstrikes. Just 23 percent disapprove.

The poll of registered voters was conducted from Sunday to Tuesday. U.S. warplanes struck Sunni extremist militants last Friday. Obama said the airstrikes were conducted to "prevent terrorist forces from advancing on the city of Irbil."

Ok, bash the public for their support, but at the same time don't ignore the fact that Rand hasn't given a clear, concise position on this issue.

Translation;

65% of those polled both watch and believe the syndicated media and answer their phone when an unknown number shows up....

Nothing like polling the best-n-brightest is there?

Of course the population is going to be for bombing with the news of IS beheading,raping and killing small kids.At the end of the day they are still people with emotions.But politicians are elected so they can lead and they should know better.I have never been for politicians that do what ever their constituency tells them and lead only based on populism.Leaders are elected to lead.

Boobus loves bombing bourgeois bodies?

Imagine my shock.

Get a live feed of the destruction and watch pizza sales skyrocket.

It's a shame we're using drones instead of AC-130's though. AC-130 feeds are more fun to watch
