        43 percent of the Americans today believe Saddam Hussein was
        personally involved in September 11, 2001. Question for you
        motd academics. What is your estimate on how many of the 43
        percent also believe in Intelligent Design?
        \_ 99.5%  Note, all this says to me is that the default course of the
           intellectually lazy in this country is to be Christian.  I think
           even if you're a Christian you can agree with that.
           \_ ALERT: The above is an unpatriotic liberal message
           \_ Being Christian != believing in ID.  -tom
              \_ Being Christian != believing the bible?
              \_ I think the Vatican's latest position is that they believe in
                 ID and they don't think ID should be taught as science.
                 ID and they think ID shouldn't be taught as science.
              \_ I understand that, but I think Christians are the largest
                 segment of ID supporters, and intellectually lazy ones the
                 largest segment of those.
        \_ 69.69 percent.  -freshman

        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        http://www.csua.org/u/sl0 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

        \_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
           of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That
           is just awesome.
           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.

Most Popular Poll: Iraq war could wound GOP at polls Adjust font size: Decrease font Decrease font Enlarge font Enlarge font (CNN) -- President Bush's unpopularity -- due largely to the war in Iraq -- seems likely to affect GOP candidates in congressional midterm elections in November, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday. Fifty-five percent of 1,004 Americans said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who has supported Bush administration policies, according to the poll conducted by Opinion Research Corporation on behalf of CNN. Asked a similar question in 1994 regarding President Clinton, 51 percent of Americans said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate who had supported the Democratic administration. The war in Iraq appears to be a main factor in Republican opposition, poll results show. Fifty-eight percent of poll respondents said they are opposed to the war, compared with 39 percent who approve of it. Watch why Republicans are on the ropes -- 2:47) The war seems to have gained some popularity; Sixty-two percent said they believe no one is winning the war; Asked whether former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, 52 percent said he was not, but 43 percent said they believe he was. The White House has denied Hussein's 9/11 involvement -- most recently in a news conference August 21, when President Bush said Hussein had "nothing" to do with the attacks. Asked whether the Iraq war is part of the US-led war on terror, 53 percent said they believe it is a separate action, while 45 percent said they believe it is connected, as the Bush administration has repeatedly insisted. The telephone poll was conducted from August 30 to September 2 with 1,004 adult Americans responding. The sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points, except for the questions regarding Hussein and whether Iraq is part of the war on terror. The sampling error for those questions is plus or minus 45 percentage points. Bush admits and defends CIA secret prisons The CIA operates secret prisons abroad for holding key suspects in the war on terror, President Bush acknowledged Wednesday.
