There is also a difference between the swing of the day and the overal opinion.
I see these kind of 'impressions' every day in the Netherlands, a little bit of investigation here and there, and all the people with agenda's try to chase it. I would be surprised if they even know what they are talking about, since most apparantly seem to firmly believe in the iraq-9/11 link. If they did some research on this 'we need to be there longer' I wonder what flashy results the pro-war crowd would come up with.
