Salon.com - The president's double reverse halo: "As Reuters reports today, public support for the war in Iraq has 'nosedived in the aftermath of Katrina.' A USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll released Monday had 66 percent of Americans favoring the withdrawal of some or all of the U.S. troops in Iraq -- an increase of 10 percentage points from the results Gallup reported just two weeks ago.

Steven Wayne, a political scientist at Georgetown University, tells Reuters that the issue is one of money. 'Americans want to attend to the needs of people at home before we take care of people overseas,' he says."
