And the Ignorance Continues...


From a Newsweek Poll conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates. Jan. 29-30, 2004:

"Do you think Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was DIRECTLY involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, or not?"

Was: 49%
Was Not: 39%
Don't Know: 12%

Thus, of all the people on Planet Earth who believe in the 911-Iraq connection, 99.9% live in the United States. If Osama B. L. doesn't have this poll taped to his bathroom mirror to help him start each day with a smile, then I'd be very surprised. And I'm sure Bush and Cheney have it taped to the ceiling above the bed they share.

What's probably most disturbing is that barely more than 1/3 believe that there was NO connection. Kudos to the American media for having the ability to keep the shroud of lies over the truth for so long. We've got 8 months to put that shroud in an anatomical part of Bush where the sun never shines.
