Ehm - not I. It was 40% of your countrymen who were taken in by the spin. (Actually, some polls reached 70%, which is really quite impressive.)

If you weren't then it's patently unfair to accuse Bush(whom you admit didn't say it) of being the culprit.

Funny....I can't recall a these people you speak of thinking that. No one I know did.

Do you have a link to the 70%.?

Of course - unlike some, I like to be able to back up my assertions:

USATODAY.com - Poll: 70% believe Saddam, 9-11 link

OnPolitics: Washington Post Poll

Except the assertion about Bush telling people that Saddam was involved with 911 that is.


Interesting quote from the poll:

A Time magazine/CNN poll released Saturday said most Americans — 71% — believe the United States has done a good job in Iraq since the end of major fighting, while 26% said it has done a poor job.

Sixty-three percent said the nation was right in going to war in Iraq and 32% said it was wrong.

and what does that prove

yes 6 months after the war started and 2 years after the attack , 70% of americans to include democrats (per article) believed in a Iraq/911 CONNECTION



its also FACT the during the Clinton admin (1998/9) , his state department put out a Iraq/alq connection...and alq is the ones who did the 911 attack

Do you recall the media pushing that cigarettes were good for you and how many people actually believed that they did not cause cancer? They also said that cannibus has no medical use whats so ever as well. This is the reason why this country has been systematically been "dumbed down" over the years, because of the belief in the corrupt government and the bias media
