Buried in today's WaPo poll on the growing dissatisfaction among the electorate on Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq was this...

In the new poll, 56 percent said they think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the start of the war, and six in 10 said they believe Iraq provided direct support to the al Qaeda terrorist network that struck the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. Also, 55 percent of Americans say the administration told people what it believed to be true, while 43 percent believe the administration deliberately misled the country.

Like the truth behind 1964's Gulf of Tonkin incident that led us into the war in Vietnam, I'm beginning to resign myself to the idea that the American public will never understand the truth about the events that led us into the war in Iraq. Iraq had no WMD. There was no connection to al Qaeda. And yet a solid majority of this nation continues to believe otherwise. Sad.
