Latest Zogby Poll: Surveying Soldiers in Iraq.
Zogby: 90% Iraq Soldiers Think They Are There Due To Saddam Role in 9/11.
Pollster John Zogby has released his latest poll, this one is of U.S Soldiers in Iraq. The Poll called the Le Moyne College/Zogby Polls asked soldiers a number of questions regarding what is going on in Iraq, and why they are there. The most glaring number that stares out at me is 90, as in 90% of the soldiers in Iraq still believe that they are there because they think that Saddam Hussein was involved in The World Trade Center, and Pentagon Bombings on September 11, 2001. This is well more then a year after even the most conservative of news outlets, and the mainstream media have admitted that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
This points up a couple of truisms that are involved in this whole scenario: first, that the average soldier in the U.S. Armed Services has very little to no idea what is really going on in the world, and second, The Army has no desire to teach them. If they did morale amongst troops would be near zero, and recruiting rates would be even lower then they are now because current servicemen would warn future servicemen against signing on to Bush's bloodbath for personal enrichment at the expense of the nation that he swore to protect.

Interesting data. More proof then ever that this war, is being fought for money, and power for The Bush family, and their cohorts

This quote brings up a couple of truisms. First, that the average American also "has very little to no idea what is really going on in the world", and second, The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc.. are not there to be brought up on current events. They are tought and ordered to do a job, whether its to clean a latrine, to raiding a home. Thats what they are there for. Your attempt to "dumb down" the perception of the military is a little off base. (pardon the pun).
To Anonymous. Thanks for the feedback, actually I should have been a little more clear. I didn't mean to say that The Army does not tell the soldiers the truth, I meant to say that they outright lie to them, just like Bush outright lies to us. Thanks for writing in.
