Poll: Half of Republicans Still Believe WMDs Found in Iraq

8th January 2015

Read it.

Republicans and Fox News viewers are more likely to hold false beliefs about the president and the war in Iraq, according to a new poll.

…

Overall, 42 percent still believe that troops discovered WMDs, a misleading factor in the decision to invade Iraq in 2003. It was later found that Iraq did have individual stockpiles of chemical weapons, but there was no active WMD program in the country.

Then I guess it’s not a ‘false belief’, then, is it? There’s a world of difference between ‘no WMDs’ and ‘no active WMD program’.

    So it’s a concensus, like global warming?

    I always try to remember that a stampede is also a consensus.
