Hmmm.  That sounds fishy.  I watch Fox News often and I've never had 
that impression, nor have I seen anything on Fox that tries to connect 
9/11 with Iraq, save a story about a couple of Al-Queada operatives 
being in Iraq from time to time.  That 73% figure really doesn't pass a 
"reasonable" test.

If you think Saddam did not have WMD's then you must also disagree with 
Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Al Gore who have each, in 
separate speeches, demanded that Saddam turn over his WMDs and comply 
with the 14 U.N. resolutions.  You do disagree with those Democratic 
leaders on that point, right?

Really?  You can't name more than 1 in 10 liberal talk show hosts "up 
until recently?"

Same can be accurately said for the liberally-biased news.  No other 
viewpoint was available.  What if there were no alternative to the AP, 
The New York Times, CNN, CBS and NewsWeek?

I know that statement wasn't for me, but I will feel free to disagree, 
and I love you, too, Donna!
