As long as Uncle Sam's boys do all the necessary to protect my family and my freedom, I don't care about anything they say on TV. Stupid suckers.

Uncle Sam doesn't give a rat's ass about your family or freedom.

The "possible weapons found" reports always made me chuckle The computer generated mobile bio-weapons labs were also quite funny

I remember some report about this supposed remote controlled device for sending in biological weapons. Turns out the thing was patched together from an old chainsaw engine or something and many parts were held on with duct tape, with an effective range of 500 metres. I forget what the actual intended use was, but so much for an advanced bio-weapons program.

i'd lean more towards brainwashed.
it's happened to many civilizations throughout history. americans aren't the first culture to put their faith in an extreme leader dispite facts to the contrary.
although, i could be wrong, but, i don't think dubya's tried to say that we have found wmds. he has said that we will, which is looking less and less likely, and before the war he was sure they were there... but, i don't think he is actually the one that is saying they've been found now.

well if americans are brainwashed wouldn't they listen to dubya about not having wmd? this just proves how ignorant our population can be.....it's not that they believe everything they hear, they just don't listen in the first place!

i just think the populace bought into all of the pre-war WMD propaganda that the administration was pumping out.
it's not that dubya is trying to convince us now that there aren't any... it's just that he's not saying that they've been found either, and the people are still somewhat rallied behind him.

as an american i can say that it is probably a combination of ignorance and stupidity or more aptly, stupid ignorance. why wasn't i polled? they always poll the guy with the biggest chew-stain on his shirt or with the longest mullet i think.

Im pretty sure your being sarcastic.. . but thats how stupid the whole situation is becoming.. . people like bin laden are thriving because of this war in iraq.. . more arab people than ever are joining religious factions that are beaming their hate at americans.. . america is probably not even going to bother justifying their war on iraq.. . they will just start another one before they finish up there. ..
and please.. . dont let anyone dare say that your government is doing this to protect your freedom.. . no one has freedom anymore.. . unless perhaps your lucky enough to live on a secluded island by yourself. ..

We do the opinion polls for ABC news at my work. While I haven't conducted a survey like this one, in the article I posted, the results are true. And that is random samples, our numbers are completely random.
One survey that I was on, it was either just before our invasion of Iraq, or shortly after it begun, one question was to the effect: "If Iraq uses weapons of mass destruction on our troops, would you support or oppose having the US use nuclear weapons?" And the scary thing is, most people answered yes.
Most also answered yes, the war would be justified, even if we didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.
