http://italy.indymedia.org/news/2003/09/369578.php It would be interesting to know just how the question was worded, since that can bias the responses of such surveys so severly that the results are all but useless. What is "a link" anyhow ? The fact that Saddam also speaks Arabic ? Also, note this : The Post poll, conducted Aug. 7-11, found that 62 percent of Democrats, 80 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of independents suspected a link between Hussein and 9/11. In addition, eight in 10 Americans said it was likely that Hussein had provided assistance to al Qaeda, and a similar proportion suspected he had developed weapons of mass destruction. This does show what I've observed all along. The country was ready for the Iraq trip, and any blame is fairly non partisan. It's why I'm so sick to death of the the incessant Bush-bashing, and clowns like FatBoy here in Massachusetts coming out of the woodwork late in the game to complain about our soldiers being over there. What really makes me want to puke is the idiots I've encountered who claimed they voted Nader and now are furious at this administration. Yet I doubt if many of these jerks (and even more so the large number of people who didn't even vote in the first place) have learned from this that voting in a presidential election is no joking matter in this country.
