On the eve of the invasion in 2003, more than half of all Americans believed Hussein was "personally involved" in the Sept. 11 attacks. One-third of the country cited assistance that they believed Hussein was then giving to terrorist groups "planning attacks on the United States" as "a main reason" for going to war, according to a CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2027&e=8&u=/chitribts/20040619/ts_chicagotrib/911reportbringssubtleshift 040619 ... iJun192004 The Moment_of_Truth:- A U.S.-sponsored poll shows Iraqis have lost confidence in the occupying authorities—and that the majority of Iraqis want Coalition troops out of the country According to the poll, a mere 1 percent of Iraqis now feel that the Coalition forces contribute most to their sense of security; only 18 percent described Iraqi police the same way.

But that tactic won’t work indefinitely WEB EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY By Eleanor Clift June 18 - No weapons of mass destruction. No Al Qaeda connection. No wonder George W. Bush is in denial. The finding of the 9/11 commission that there is no credible evidence linking Iraq to the September 11 attacks removed another pillar in the shaky rationale Bush used to justify the war. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5240127/site/newsweek/ 040619 ... kx21 * The_Message_from_Heaven * US_sincere_sorry_and_apology_for_Iraq's_security__ ... and a_wrong_war_in_21k - US_led War:- Invasion & Occupation in Iraq from 20 March 2003 to "date" of Cut_and_Run...
