70 % of americans thought Iraq behind 9/11 2 years after the attack

and nearly 4 years after 911 I wonder how many still think that Iraq was involved?

He was to blame for the SARS outbreak, last year's Tsunami and the Challenger space shuttle crash as well, didn't you get the memo?

A better question would be

How many Americans give a rat's bellybutton what a canadian thinks?

Canadians aside it was funny to watch from the outside  how easily the majority of Americans were led to believe about Terroism,Iraq and WMD's. Certinly didn't work in the same way for Blair and the British. Whch will be suprising if Blair gets re-elected. Sure alot more will come out during their election.

I appreciate Canada as our northern neighbor and I ain't afraid to say it!

I'm updating our upstairs bathroom and shopped recently for bathroom fixtures.   Just about ALL of the popular manufacturers- Price Pfister, Delta, Moen, etc - all manufacture the stuff offshore now.

I was very happy to find something made by an North American manufacturer - Aquadis, of Quebec.   The quality is obvious (all metal construction; no cheap plastic) and though it was a bit more expensive, I was happy to pay the Canadians who produced such quality.

Have a good day, eh.

The title of the link is grossly misleading.

The article doesn't say 70% of Americans think Iraq is behind the attack.

7 out of 10 said they believed Iraq "had a role" Maybe the hijackers spent the nigh in bagdad once.  That could mean "Had a role"

Sixty-nine percent of Americans said they thought it at least likely that Hussein was involved in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, according to the latest Washington Post poll.
 

Likely is the key word.  Also, how do we know how the exact question is worded.  You know full well how those polling questions are worded.

It could have been something as vague as:  Do you think it is the least bit likely that Iraq was involved in the 9/11 attacks.

Possibly the most specious rationalisation I've ever read on here. Give that man a prize.

Deceptively pleasing or attractive

Apparently right; superficially fair, just, or correct, but not so in reality
