Half of Americans Still Think Iraq Had WMDs

I don't even know what to say about this:

Half of Americans now say Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the United States invaded the country in 2003 — up from 36 percent last year....In addition, 64 percent say Saddam had "strong links" with al Qaeda....

Fifty-five percent said that "history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy to Iraq."....American confidence in the Iraqis has improved: 37 percent said Iraq would succeed in creating a stable democracy, up five points since November.

Apparently we really are ruled by the idiots we deserve.

Also, a study done last year showed that more than half of American soldiers in Iraq believe Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
