Today's Excite poll - 54% believe Saddam-al Qaida link

[trogdor]

This scares the shit out of me. Are Americans really that stupid? Apparently we are.

Yesterday, the commission investigating the September 11 attacks reported that there was "no credible evidence" that Saddam Hussein had ties with al-Qaida. The Bush administration has long claimed links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida, and cited these links as one reason for last year's invasion of Iraq. (AP)

Do you think Saddam Hussein had ties to al-Qaida?

Yes 54% => 3985 votes

No 39% => 2890 votes

I'm not sure 5% => 401 votes

I don't care 1% => 85 votes
Current number of voters: 7361
