Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.

LOL yeah I find this pretty strange. The question linked to the poll is "Did Bush Know About the 9/11 Attacks in Advance?". I think this could mean different things to different people. Tenet is his new book states that he really tried to press the threat of Al Qaeda attacks to the administration in the summer of 2001. But I kind of hard it find to believe that 35% of Democrats would believe that he had specific knowledge of the specific attacks on 9/11.

And 28% still approve of Bush.

Here's one of them: http://kutv.com/topstories/local_story_126211106.html

Crazy world huh.

[/ QUOTE ]Exactly. Almost everyone in this thread so far is being pretty illogical.

More than 90% believe in God - what's your point. No one ever said the average person is that bright.

I'd say it means "Do I hate George Bush" to a not-insignificant number of respondents.

lol, the same theory surrounds FDR and Pearl Harbor. Some contend that he knew it was going to happen, allowed it to happen, knowing it would result in the American people rallying behind him to go to war, ridding the world of an evil dictator.

Exchange the letters FDR for GWB (Bush, not the bridge) Pearl Harbor for 9/11, doesn't sound so bad to me.

Not that I believe this is true (Either of them). But if they were, I wouldn't be too upset about it.

It underlies a deep cynicism about the government. I would bet that most of the conspiracy theorists are liberals. I'm sure the anarchists around here will use this as ammo that government sucks, but personally, I blame Bush.

Even though people who think the Govt knew about 9-11 in advance are idiots, this poll is still important. It underlies a deep cynicism about the government.

Yeah I'd agree on both counts.
