Just to increase my head pounding frustration, we find in this story discussing "Americans Split on Iraq as Part of the WOT:
A plurality of Americans, 43%, continue to believe that there were links between Saddam Hussein's government and Al Qaeda prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Thirty-two percent (32%) disagree while 25% are not sure. Once again, there are huge partisan divides on this question. By a 59% to 19% margin, Republicans say there were Iraqi-Al Qaeda links. Democrats disagree by a 46% to 34% margin.Proving, of course, that even though the President may come out and explicitly say there is no link, by continually combining them in the rest of the discussion, the illusion remains.
It is becoming fucking impossible to battle the willfully ignorant.
