I didn't provide that quote about what people believed about Saddam prior to 9/11. Ron Davies provided that one in this post...

If you look at the post in which I quoted Ron's post, you will see that I italicized the quote and put it in quotation marks. And then I responded to it with my response.

In response to the full paragraph provided by Teribus, I would say that full paragraph is an excellent example of the kind of tactics the Bush administration used relentlessly to condition people to connect the two unrelated things... 9/11, and Saddam Hussein, in the minds of the US electorate. Multiply that quote by many hundreds, and you get a perfect understanding of why such a large percentage of people in the US believed that Saddam was either responsible for, or contributed to what happened on 9/11.

Teribus styles himself as someone who lives in the UK. I think either he is lying about living in the UK, or he has no way of really knowing how the people in the US experienced this sort of propaganda from the US government during the lead-up to the invasion, because he wasn't here, and he wasn't being subjected to it himself.


Perhaps Teribus would like to prove to us that the government of the Soviet Union, for instance, never tried to mislead the people of the Soviet Union about anything because we can't produce any documents from any Soviet premiers admitting that they were doing so.
