The myth of Iraq and 9/11

In the state that I grew up in and still love dearly, there is a debate about the war. This debate is taking place throughout the country but a brave broadcaster put out what a reasonable person already understands. That being that there is no connection between 9/11 and the war in Iraq.

That said, CBS did a poll and claims that 33 percent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein was directly involved in 9/11.

If these Orwellian ads are giving affirmations to those who support the war that is one thing. If these ads actually lead people to think that this connection exists, that is pathetic.

The deep pockets of Freedom's watch, founded in part by former White House spin doctor Ari Fleischer, are leading the sheepeople of America to the RIGHT perceptive of how things are.

I hope that this poll is wrong, that one out of every three Americans don't really think that this is true. Is this a ploy of the "liberal media"? Apparently, this was an ad to sway Norm Coleman, a Republican, to continue to support the war. He did vote with many Democrats to support the measure establishing minimum periods between deployment of units and members of the Armed Forces deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Maybe the Republicans who did this spot are worried that one of their own in this progressive state may sway on their support of the war. Senator Coleman's vote is totally understandable having a National Guard Bde in Iraq longest deployment in the history of this war.
