You can't possibly be as dumb as you sound here. The whole *point* is that they didn't make the accusation overtly; they planted the idea in people's minds by association. The statements were *designed* to make the suggestion without explicitly saying something they knew wasn't true. They were very carefully constructed so that dupes like you could exclaim, "Oh, but he didn't actually *say*..." But there's no question they were intended to mislead--there are too many of them along the same lines to have been accidental--and that they were successful in doing so. There's nothing else that could account for those poll numbers I reported. You claimed the idea that Saddam had been involved in 9/11 was widespread immediately after the attacks. It was not; it was *rare*. But in the space of a little over a year, it went up to 72 percent. There are quite a few polls asking similar questions around that time and later, and every last one shows a majority thinking Saddam was involved. I've been checking out the various polls and have found them varying widely. Some as low as 22% most averaging just about 50% between 2003 and 2006. As one poll stated, a large number of people polled at one time thought a significant number of 911 hijackers were Iraqi, of course anybody that pays attention to the news, knows that none were. Do you have any evidence that the White House planted this? How many of the people that are polled and think Saddam was involved in 911 do you think even watch presidential speeches or read a news paper? Try looking at this poll.Few Americans Perceive Hussein-9/11 Link: Angus Reid Consultants . __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
