		<description><![CDATA[ Like a U.S. Marine playing war video games in preparation for the real fight, a new Gallup poll and an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey were released this week.

What it is worth considering rather than a list of missed opportunities is an identification and clarification of misunderstandings the [...]]]></description>
