ignorance is growing

50%.

Percentage of Americans who believe that Iraq had WMDs when the United States invaded, up 14% since February 2005.

How in the hell is this possible? It has been shown over & over & over & over (etc) that Iraq hadn't had any WMDs for decades. Did anyone actually believe those wacky, far-fetched stories that were on Fox about some decades-old containers being current WMDs? Can anyone really be that gullible?

TBogg shows me that, yes, they can!
Of course, the "defense" in the article that TBogg links to is that once upon a time Saddam had something, so even if that had been decades ago, he was still a bad man, so that means that we should believe that he had WMDs when we invaded!
Whew!
