Misfires
Uh, I don't even know what to say to this -- the headline says most of it:
"Many American still hold misperceptions about Iraq war, poll finds"
It starts:
A new poll shows that 57 percent of Americans continue to believe that Saddam Hussein gave "substantial support" to al-Qaida terrorists before the war with Iraq, despite a lack of evidence of that relationship.
In addition, 45 percent of Americans have the impression that "clear evidence" was found that Iraq worked closely with Osama bin Laden's network, and a majority believe that before the war Iraq either had weapons of mass destruction (38 percent) or a major program for developing them (22 percent).
There's no known evidence to date that these statements are true.
As a buddy of mine is fond of saying with mock outrage and a touch of sarcasm: "Are you kidding me?"
