i would also bet 80-85% of americans couldnt name more than 3 terrorist organizations. like i said, they hear "terrorist" and immediately assume Osama and his cronies.Footwedge wrote:Glory...that is spin and you know it.

many of those quotes you posted refer to terrorists SIMILAR to the ones who committed the attacks on 9/11, not THE terrorists who committed the attacks.
I will look it up...and find a poll or polls showing that about 80%/85% of Americans were convinced that Saddam had a hand in 9-11.
The propaganda campaign went full force in September/October 2002, only 12 months after America was attacked by Al Quada. People were scared shitless. I was scared shitless.
If the president says "Saddam Hussein" in the same sentence with "the terrorists of 9-11" then only idiots would not connect the dots.
When the Vice President states on national TV that Iraqi officials met with Mohammed Atta, then one would have to be an idiot in not deducting a connection.
When the Secretary of State (Condi Rice) states on National TV says that "the smoking gun could be a mushroom cloud", one would have to be an idiot for not having the beJesus scared out of them.
It wasn't until Hans Blix and Mohammed ElBaradei stated that they searched Powell's sites...and found no bio labs, no chem weapons and no nukes, did I pause in reflection. And this was announced 3 weeks prior to the invasion...an invasion that was primarily sold on Saddam holding and going to use these weapons.
To Unique....you are entitled to your opinion in laying blame on the Congress. I don't....for the simple fact that they watched (Congress)these same television shows and were rightly, scared shitless.
