Oh I agree, and we now know that it was a direct result of the Administration "marketing" a case for war based on weak and inconclusive evidence.
So the polls probably did reflect public opinion, which was a "product" of an intentional effort to manipulate.

When the amount of credible reporting, insider accounts and documentation is overwhelming and points to a single conclusion...the difference between "we know" and "I believe" can in fact be so small as the two are indistinguishable.

Wild guess, you were in the other 30% column, right?  |
