2. Shows the power of propaganda.
No facts, just transparent spin, and 47% agree to be willfully ignorant.

amerikkkans are damned stupid.

3. I voted "No" but it is possible they were.
It has always been more likely that Iran was involved than Iraq.

That gives us absolutely no justifiable reason to attack them.

Does BushCo really think that Americans will fall for this?

"Oops. Wrong country. We really meant Iran. Let's go get 'em!"

13. Iran let Sept 11 Plotters Pass By ----- but so did the US!
Edited on Mon Jul-19-04 06:49 PM by 56kid
the headline in USA today was
Iran let Sept. 11 plotters pass by
No proof Tehran was in on attacks


http://www.usatoday.com/usatonline/newsindex11.htm

and I went, wa-a-a-it a minute, what about the United States? Didn't they do the same thing?

55. And, once again everyone is avoiding the elephant in the room
Saudi Arabia. 15 of the 911 terrorists were from Saudi, but when ANY other country is mentioned as being involved, Americans say "yeah, that's it. It was Iran" - God, Americans really are stupid.

24. That's what it was when I voted. I was

amazed at the high number agreeing that Iran was involved. It seems to me it's been a long time since CNN polls have been freeped. I figured they had fixed it so people can't vote two or three hundred times, or at least made it much much harder to do so. So now what the heck's going on?

You know how he has that silly voice and giggle? He could totally impersonate bush and do that voice:

"Ooops! Hee hee, wrong country! Darn, I thought it was IraQ, not IraN, hee hee don't worry we got it straightened up folks, hee hee, it's IRAN! Ok bombs away! Heee heee heee heee heee heee heee hee!!!"

10. no 53, yes 47... wtf...
what a dumbass poll to begin with - as if there's any other sort on big media....

supposedly, the frikken CIA/FBI/PENTAGON/WHOREHOUSE etc., with all the resources at their disposal, got it all wrong about Iraq but the Muriken people. Becky Jo from Pokipski and Melvin Slammard from Polk are to be the judges as to whether Iran had anything to do with 911... how... by checking out Beverly Hillbillies gramma Clampett's weather beetle?

so transparently a sway to get us all used to another big fat horking lie for another home invasion coming soon. ack. this is driving me nuts.

16. Good grief...the "yes" votes are way too many
what is it with people? If Iraq didn't do it then Iran must have?

Do Americans need someone to blame that much they will accept anything as proof..as long as they don't have to entertain the notion that their government isn't all that clean? Are people that afraid?

Do we just attack anywhere and everywhere until we feel like we got "them" all? We just scorch the earth? How many have to die before Americans feel safe again?

how pathetic is this...

36. Do they laugh at us for believing their ploys and deceptions?
Does Bush lead them in a cheer?

I despise the transparency, boldness, graft, and horrible, despicable consequences.

We went from a criminal act against the U.S. on 9/11, that they could have prevented, to a takeover of the entire ME for profit for a few and the protection of Israel.

We're where we were in 2002 and early 2003 - we could read all the signs and we knew they were going to ignore the UN and the WMD search teams. Our representatives in DC let it happen. Redux?

Where are the peace leaders? Where are the negotiators? Will we have peace negotiations before or after a nuclear blast? Carter is quiet. Jackson is quiet. The Pope is quiet. The Scandinavians are quiet?

And Africans are being slaughtered. And there are not enough jobs. And millions are uninsured. And tax revenue has been grandly reduced because of the no-tax paying corporations, off-shore banking, and common and specialty jobs going overseas.

40. ACTUALLY AFTER ALL THE US HAVE DONE TO THEM it would
not be surprising if they have some deep seated resentment. I don't think they got involved in 9/11 but 9/11 is nothing compared to what we have done to Iran over the years.

Read some political history of Iran and how we put the Sha in the throne eliminating a democratic government and all the ROTTEN things we did there.
Then helping Iraq against them... hmmmmmmmm

Is the minute the 9/11 commision said there was no link to Al-Quada and Iraq, Bush, Cheney and Rummy said the commission was either wrong or lying but now that they have some info they like the commission is doing a great job.. What a crock. You know what? I don't give a shit if Iran had anything to do with 9/11. I think we've killed enough Muslums to have gotten our revenge by now, don't you? I think it's time someone with a fucking brain realized that killing terrorists(and innocents) is not stopping terrorism, and that we need to get at the root of this damn problem before Bush and his buddies get us all killed. Sorry bout all the cussing but between this Iran thing and Linda Ronstadt, I'm really pissed off..

53. I think it's bullshit.
Not a single one of the 9/11 hijackers was Iranian. The ONLY evidence out there to get to this INFERENCE, is that the Iranians didn't stamp the hijacker's passports before they left Iran. Not even close enough to merit a diplomatic tongue-lashing in the real world IF it's even true. How can you even ask this question in light of having been lied to already? Does anybody believe any of these administration pieces of shit anymore when they're trying to prep America for "war"?

BTW, FUCK PREEMPTION as an American doctrine. That is nothing more than an extremely weak excuse to justify American aggression against countries that pose no threat to America AND it's unAmerican as hell.

Just another example of Bush attempting to kiss Ariel Sharon's ass and hasten armageddon if you ask me.

54. What is meant by "having a role," anyway? This is total bullshit.
Is BushCo is starting to define its enemies as "having a role," in 9/11, well, then, they can then justify going after anyone/anything.

If BushCo wants to zero in with this definition, it seems to me that the U.S. itself "had a role" in 9/11 -- this country harbored the 9/11 terrorists, did not root them out when there were specific warnings, trained them in private flight schools, and basically gave them the means with which to kill 3,000 people.

Bullshit.

48. It's a bet
How many wars can you get out of 9/11? They seem to think after Afghanistan and Iraq (which they got caught on) they can still do Iran and if necessary Saudi and Pakistan. A lot of mileage out of that one day.

You know, the alleged 9/11 ringleaders passed through Germany. Obviously the deutsch are in on this. We need to bomb Hamburg.

I can't get worked up anymore about fucking Iran after all this shit. Anybody who can get "worked up" NOW over Iran after ALL of the constant propaganda, really is worthless, unredeemable trash.

I mean, who cares? How can anyone feel a need to react to this????

If anyone feels the need to care, to react to them, to that bunch of gallow-bound greedy shit-flinging, nose-picking devils, needs to think about ending it and hoping for a better incarnation where a higher quality brain might be made available to them. No. Really.

If it was anyone, it was al-Qaeda plus the U.S. (LIHOP or just laziness and incompetence) plus the Saudis plus perhaps certain ELEMENTS in Iran.

But OH MY GOD I don't want the Bush Admin. to go off half-cocked (no comments from the peanut gallery!) and invade Iran now.

Cripes!

FRANKLY, I want to see the FULL conclusions of the 9/11 Commission before I start even thinking about this. This leaky leaky stuff is annoying me.
