I guess it was only fitting that after Bush got a probing another poll came out.  They didn’t find his brain, but what they did find was rather interesting, if only for its futility:

President Bush faces growing disenchantment in his own party on the war in Iraq, with most Republicans — his customarily loyal base — now saying he’s not willing enough to change his war policies. Discontent runs so deep that six in 10 Americans would shift control of the war to Congress.

Overall, an overwhelming 78 percent of Americans in this ABC News/Washington Post poll say Bush is not willing enough to change his stance on the war, up from 66 percent last December. The biggest movement is among Republicans; 55 percent say the president is not willing enough to alter his Iraq polices, up 16 points. […]

Just 22 percent think the “surge” of U.S. forces is improving security, and 64 percent think it will not succeed in the next few months. Congressional Democrats, while also damaged by discontent with the war, lead Bush by 55-32 percent in trust to handle it. Thus the public by 2-1 says Congress, not the president, should have final say on when the troops come home.  (emphasis mine)

The US congress deciding when to wage war?  Gee, that sounds like a familiar concept, where could I have possibly heard of it before?  Something is popping in my head about “Article one, Section 8” for some reason…
