1. The BBC has a known liberal bias, I dont see any sources for their 70% figure so this is why I take that with a grain of salt.
2. The poll also says "70% of Americans believed the Iraqi leader was personally involved in the attacks" ...not Iraq - while that may at first seem like nitpicking any sane person knows Saddam was a very bad person with intentions of defying the USA so the "poll" could have been skewed based on this wording the poll would have been more accurate had it asked "Do you believe Iraq was involved in the attacks on 9/11"
3. I am not trying to prove that Bush didnt spin anything, I am pointing out that INTELLIGENT people never "assumed" Iraq was directly involved in 9/11.
4. Really its all a moot point because Saddam HAD to go period, anyone who couldnt see that deserves to spend a life "assuming" things.
