Different question than the Fairleigh-Dickenson question.

Meh. I didn't include the word "active" but close enough, no?

"Overall, 42 percent of Americans believe that U.S. forces found active weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq."

You didn't include the word "program". There were weapons. They were old. There was no program making more. Since the story was just from last year, it probably impacted the survey even though they asked about a weapons program.

If you just ask "Were there weapons?" Technically, the answer is yes. But that's not what you meant to ask. What you want to know is about the weapons that played a role in motivating the Iraq War.

not affiliated with either party really....

bush was dumb....as seen when he couldn't open a door in china....but this was the dumbest thing bush ever said/did. Money we spent on this made up war increased our debt into the trillions and collapsed our economy. The "democratic" political system we set up there failed and provided a hot bed for future terrorist groups to form and wreak havoc. And yes....those groups are much worse than Hussein was. Bush had daddy issues and this war was about himself, his daddy issues, and finishing the job George senior couldn't get done. Ofcourse they found weapons....what country doesn't have weapons? But they've never proved to shut down a program making new nuclear weapons.

Most credible people don't consider decades old mustard gas a WMD. I voted no.

That's a good point regarding the technicality, but still, the other poll clearly said program, so the old weapons wouldn't count either way. Regardless of the technically correct answer, I think this story being in the news this past year impacts how many people (both reps and dems) would answer yes.

If they (Iraq/ISIS/Whoever could get their hands on it) had the ability to deliver these Sarin/Mustard gases properly, I would have voted yes. I guess it's just all open to interpretation.

100% of the board's Republitards refuse to participate in this poll, even KAWDUP, who suggested it.

Don't get too excited over your poll's 4 votes.

The conservatives get it - you don't like George Bush and you prefer to get your misinformation from Salon instead of Infowars or whatever equally stupid right wing websites that are equivalent to the liberal garbage sites that tell you what to think. We've moved on.

There's not a choice for me in the poll.

Poor babies? Which one of us is whining about people not participating in his stupid poll that's a complete waste of time? Thanks for the laugh.

Same for me but I don't think I'd bother answering if there were - I'm pretty sure I already know what he would have to say about it.

I believe as a conservative with a lowercase "c" you'd be considered to "lean GOP."

You are a Republitard. Own it. Wallow in it.

The GOP and the Democrats are simply opposite sides of the same statist coin. I'm nowhere to be found on that spectrum.

sorry, Sir Thomas More, but there's a 100 character limit for poll questions, so I couldn't include a category for "Catholic Utopians that want to turn back the clock to 1500, and oppose all social, technological, and cultural changes that have taken place since then"
