.......But security officer Roshad Lyons, a Democrat, said Iran will take over in Iraq if U.S. troops pull out.

"I don't see any reason to go there and not complete the job. The priority should be getting the (Iraqi) military up and running. It's almost done," said Lyons.

Renae Simpson, vacationing on the Texas resort of South Padre Island, said she and her husband Randy are Democrats, but totally support the war.

"We went in there with open eyes knowing it would not be easy," said Simpson.

"They came over here on our land and took down the twin towers. People forget that," Randy, a Vietnam veteran, added.

A Newsweek poll released last week found 41 percent of Americans still believe Saddam Hussein was directly involved in financing, planning or carrying out the September 11 attacks, though no such connection has been found. 41

1. Good grief. I think part of that must be because of culture-centric racist ideologies

that suppose "those brown people in the mid-east" are all the same.

2. Crappy poll question: (On edit, read the poll question and it's not crappy)

Involved in 9/11? That would not surprise me in the least. Involved to any significant degree (much less to the degree justifiying invasion as retaliation)? No.

41%? Good Lord...

3. Unbelievable! 41%? Damn.

And here I thought Americans were beginning to wake up. Replace the "S" in SH with a "W" and then I might agree with them.

4. this is why we need honesty in the media

and why corrupt asshats can get selected as President.

5. Seymour Hersh?

6. That is hard to stomach. They went for the big lie. How does that

mesh with Bush being at 26%? I guess you can believe SH was involved in 9/11 if you know nothing about the middle east and hate the war there. People need to be educated now. Dems should do a campaign or buy ads on the TV teaching people that SH had nothing to do with 9/11. Though he was a monster.

7. BINGO! This was the poll I just referenced in my latest OpEdNews piece.
