Subject: RE: BS: Is Karl Rove a Big Fat Liar???
Does the fact that less people believed that Saddam Hussein was involved with 9/11 during the alleged propaganda campaign than before the alleged campaign mean that the campaign, if there was a campaign, support the assertion that it was brilliant and highly successfull?

It was from Bobert's source of the truth, the Washington Post.
        
Washington Post Poll:
Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11 Attacks

Saturday, September 6, 2003

The latest Washington Post poll is based on telephone interviews with 1,003 randomly selected adults nationwide, and was conducted Aug. 7-11, 2003. The margin of sampling error for overall results is plus or minus 3 percentage points. Sampling error is only one of many potential sources of error in this or any other public opinion poll. Interviewing was conducted by TNS Intersearch of Horsham, Pa.
