Faux News Poll: 1 in 5 believe there are still wmds in Iraq!

This was a poll taken on December 1, 2005

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,177333,00.html

In addition, some Americans think there are still weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A 42 percent plurality thinks Iraq had weapons before the war and moved or destroyed them, while 28 percent think there were no WMD at all. Almost one in five (19 percent) think there are still WMD in Iraq.

Opinion Dynamics Corporation conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News on November 29-30.

Unbelieveable. That's all I can say. I wonder if they asked if people still believed that we needed to invade Iraq because ObL attacked us.

6. Doesn't say much about the pollsters: here is somewhat positive news, too.

By a 20 percentage point margin Americans disagree with Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz., recent suggestion that more troops are needed to achieve success in Iraq, and more people think having U.S. troops in Iraq encourages (44 percent) rather than discourages (31 percent) terrorist attacks by the insurgents.

For that many people to recognize that we shouldn't send more troops, as well as understanding that the troops are creating more terrorism, well, that's impressive. This is FAUX NEWS folks, and if they are getting those results, just think what the real numbers must be.

2. Hard to believe there is 20% of the population that will believe ANYTHING

even if it is totally untrue, but that is bush's voting base.

3. 50% or more of Americans believe Jesus was Aryan

and what's more would've approved of mass murdering anyone who doesn't have blonde hair or blue eyes and doesn't cover their car in yellow ribbons or American flags.

What are you gonna do with these people?

7. I for one believe it wholeheartedly.

The US doesn't go into a place like that unprepared to kill masses of people.
