50 percent of U.S. says Iraq had WMDs

The Washington Times reports:
"Half of Americans now say Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded the country in 2003 -- up from 36 percent last year, a Harris poll finds."
This can't be viewed as good news by the liberal-Democrats. How can the American people continue to be SO stupid!
"Pollsters deemed the increase both 'substantial' and 'surprising' in light of persistent press reports to the contrary in recent years." (emphasis added)
Not that the MSM has a dog in this fight!
"Meanwhile, the Harris poll offered some positive feedback on Iraq. Seventy-two percent of respondents said the Iraqi people are better off now than under Saddam Hussein's regime -- a figure similar to that of 2004, when it stood at 76 percent. In addition, 64 percent say Saddam had "strong links" with al Qaeda, up from 62 percent in October 2004. Fifty-five percent said that "history will give
the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq."
Hindsight (history) has a way of giving us clearer vision. Clear away all the emotion and stress of the moment and see the necessity of the situation and the potential consequences, and most people come to agreement on the actions. It's a good thing we have a President who was able to cut through the emotions more quickly than most -- especially his opponent.
