How many Americans believe Iraq was behind 911?

Question

Or had anything to do with it? And how many believe WMDs were found in Iraq?

Answer 1

See the poll results here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/smygo/message/9908

An important New York Times/CBS News survey finds that six years after
the terror attacks of 9/11, "33 percent of all Americans, including 40
percent of Republicans and 27 percent of Democrats, say Saddam Hussein
was personally involved." In reality, of course, Saddam and Iraq had
absolutely no connection to the terror attacks.

Answer 2

No one who was listening to Bush believes Iraq was behind 9/11. The only people who believe Iraq was behind 9/11 are those who have believed the liberal lie that Bush said Iraq was behind 9/11. Some people are gullible enough to believe liberal lies and think that Bush really did say Iraq was behind 9/11, even though every intelligent and informed person knows Bush never said such a thing. If liberals would stop telling lies about Bush then gullible people would not be fooled and would hear the truth and believe it instead of believing liberal lies. As for WMD, Israel recently destroyed some in Syria. Funny how Syria has not cried to the UN claiming Israel did something wrong. How will you try to demonize Israel when Syria knew better than to complain about the strike? Just be glad that you are being protected by Bush. Wake up and smell the jihad...

Answer 3

What libs do is twist what people say. There have been WMDs found in Iraq, that is a fact. You will get huffy and deny that tons of Sarin gas was found which fit the WMD classification. Then we move on to admitting that the quantity found is nowhere near what was expected. At the same time we must talk about the Iraqi general and others in leadership who claim much was moved into Lebanon through Syria. I do not know if it was and you dont know if it wasnt. One thing we do know is that on paper, Saddam had far more WMDs than we found. The possibility that he created a paper tiger to help keep others in fear of his potential is something worth looking at. If he did in fact make a paper tiger, he would never be able to show that he destroyed the weapons because he would not have actually had them. Know what I mean? I wonder about this.
Did Iraq plan 9/11? Probably not. Do we have intel that places Iraqi agents and the lead highjacker together in Europe prior to 9/11? Yes. The US has since denied the credibility of this info yet the Chech's continue to insist on its accuracy. Interesting to say the least and it shouldnt be cast aside.
The reality is that we do not know the truth and never will. What we know is that the leaders of this country in the House and Senate were given information and asked for permission to go to Iraq and they overwhelmingly said yes. We are there now for better or worse and must complete the mission rather than sit around playing blindly ideological games.

Answer 4

After a short search, this is an article to the latest poll I could find :
http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=684
In July of 2006, 64% believed that Saddam had strong ties with Al Quada.
And 50% believed that Iraq had WMDs when the U.S. invaded..

Answer 5

There is no reason to believe Iraq had anything to do with 911 unless they are listening to the far left that has constantly lied and said that this administration claimed it did.

There is plenty of reason to still believe Iraq had WMDs.

I would like to know what kind of a person takes the word of a man like Saddam Hussein. There was no reason, whatsoever, for the US to believe anything that came from Hussein. He was deliberately trying to block the US and the UN at every turn despite cease fire agreements he signed saying he wouldnt do that. So many far left liberals would have had us believe the word of a man like Hussein over that of our own intelligence and our own president. Why do they give Hussein that much credibility when this is a man that had recently literally tried to take over a sovereign nation?

Hussein, esp thanks to illegal oil contracts with France and Russia, had billions at his disposal. If anyone actually believes that the man didnt have weapons programs being created somewhere then they are incredibly naive. Hussein was not a man to be trusted and I dont want a president that would rely on Husseins word over that of the entire global communities intelligence because despite what the far left would have you believe, every other nation was in agreeance with the US that Hussein had wmds.

Answer 6

Not many, and you really dont see this fact pop up among whats left of the Bush supporters.

The plan to go into Iraq started in 2000 between Rumsfeld and Cheney, A YEAR BEFORE 911 EVEN HAPPENED.

And THAT blows the conservative argument that "we should have gone in Iraq because of 9-11 in the first place" to bits.

Answer 7

Iraq denied involvement early and often after 9/11. I wish Bush had believed them.

Answer 8

WMD's were found in Iraq this is a fact. No it wasnt the stock pile they were expecting but non the less there were WMD's

While Iraq had no direct ties to 9/11 they did have ties to terrorist and I say half a dozen of one 6 of another. It is the same thing.

enough time was given to iraq by the Un's refusal to enforce any of their 12 resolutions that they could have removed all the WMD's and anything else they didn't want found.

Here is a fact for you. Saddam was suppose to destroy all WMD's that he had. He could not produce proof that he even destroyed all the ones we knew about. I think he used the dog ate my homework excuse... If he destroyed them why not produce the paper work and proof to show it and why not let people come check without all the games.

ADDITION: by the way dan d is emailing me like a beaver humping a log calling me a jacka$$ saying Saddam Never supported terrorist in any way. as a matter of fact he said there was zero zilch proof that he did. Told me to post a link to prove it so I posted this link

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2846365.stm

Not a US news source and showed him. He told me that paying terroist suicide bombers families after they made an attack was just charity and didnt show he supported terrorist at all. yuo can read the link and see if you find the same to be true. I actually find it sad thatsomeone would condone suicide bombings.

Answer 9

It is an irrelevant questions. People belive all sorts of crap. How many people believe in God? One does not need proof to beleive something. Just look at all the people that think the World Trade Centers were destroyed by planted explosives. I bet the number is about the same

Answer 10

Well done, Dan D.

I genuinely hope that they (including that foaming at the mouth running dog, Ann Coulter) are held accountable for their misdeeds in the name of money and WASP status quo.

I don't necessarily want a tribunal headed by Cindy Sheehan to go after them, or anything, only that popular history and culture renders there names synonymous with "patsy," "dolt" and "morally/spiritually illiterate/bankrupt."

Am I a little vicious at 53? Did they eff America up in <7 years?
