"Do you think Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?"

33% of All Adults, 40% Republicans, and 27% Dems.
Who are these morons?? I wonder where these idiots got that idea? A little willful conflation perhaps?

2003 State of the Union: GWB
"Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained."


Meet the Press (9/14/03) , Dick Cheney said:

If we’re successful in Iraq, we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11.


These clever statement made the intention clear. Link Iraq to 9/11 while providing reagan's old "plausable deniability". Criminals.

True so true, you know War Made Easy. This administration I must say are brilliant at this world of spin. Kinda like the Nazi Party over Germany.

And probably the same percentage of people think that it was a government conspiracy. That doesn't leave alot of sane people in America.

*raises hand*

I know that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11, and I also don't believe that 9/11 was a government conspiracy. It was a failure of our government's communication, but I don't believe it was a conspiracy.

So, um.......do I win something?

Yes, you win the "eyes wide open" award, free from brainwashing by Fox News or YouTube.

I'd like to think there is a solid core of us somewhere in the middle between the lunatic fringe on either side.

Kidding aside, I would really like to get my hands on that 33%....and yank their blindfolds off.

(PS: I know, I know, it was Eyes Wide Shut....)

I'm not going to go through the whole page...that's the job of the original poster...

there is no way that in an unbiased question that 33% of people believe that. period. i'd like to see the actual question and offered responses.

I wanted to believe that, too. But unfortunately, even with an abysmally low approval rating, a quarter of the people think Bush is doing a good job. It isn't a stretch to think that all of them, plus a few other morons would answer in the affirmative.

The source of the poll:

CBS News/New York Times Poll. Sept. 4-8, 2007. N=1,035 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3 (for all adults).


The question:
"Do you think Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?"

The results:

Yes No Unsure
% % %
ALL adults 33 58 9
Republicans 40 51 9
Democrats 27 63 10
Independents 32 60 8



So even almost 1/3 of Dems believe it! Goddam.

As an American, and secondarily as a political scientist, and as a staunch conservative...i find that disturbing. I really do. But as a conservative i'll just say...our public education is kick ass...isn't it?

Fortunately that number keeps shrinking. Unfortunately, it is still around 40% somehow:

"Do you think the United States should keep its military forces in Iraq until civil order is restored there, even if that means continued U.S. military casualties; or do you think the United States should withdraw its military forces from Iraq in order to avoid further U.S. military casualties, even if that means civil order is not restored there?"

It is much easier to read the poll results from the link provided in the first post. Some of the questions/answer are eye opening and a bit depressing.

To tell you the truth, it breaks my heart that the answer to this question isn't in the affirmative 100% not sure why you think commitment is "disturbing."
