According to the Washington Times, 50% of Americans believe that Iraq had WMDs prior to US invasion, up from 36% last year. They speculate that the rise in number may have come from Sen Santorum's admission that 500 "aging" canisters of chemical weapons had been discovered in Iraq, however not much press had been given to the statement by the mainstream media, and debate continues on the agents viability as WMD.
Of course the same WT study also claims that:
"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." And although the response is tepid, American confidence in the Iraqis has improved: 37 percent said Iraq would succeed in creating a stable democracy, up five points since November."
Who knew so many people watched Fox News?
