A Duped Nation

No matter how much I want to believe otherwise, I always seem to revert back to the position that Americans are clueless sheep. Counterspin Central directs us to a Newsweek poll offering the latest evidence:

“Do you think Iraq actually had banned chemical or biological weapons right before the Iraq War started in March, or not?”
Jan. 29-30, 2004
Yes — 55%
No — 32%
Don’t know — 13%
“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?”
Jan. 29-30, 2004
Was — 49%
Was Not — 39%
Don’t Know — 16%”

I wonder the American public may have gotten this erroneous impression?
(a) Bush and company invariably mentioning 9/11 when discussing Iraq;
(b) Bush and company focusing attention on Saddam Hussein, while seemingly ignoring Osama bin Laden’s existence;
(c) Fox News Channel using a bold “War on Terror” caption whenever discussing Iraq; or
(d) All of the above.

    That explains your political party affilliation :^)
