A recent survey of U.S. soldiers.

Interesting highlights from Tom Atlee:

Nearly nine of every 10 - 85% - said the U.S. mission is "to retaliate for Saddam's role in the 9-11 attacks," while 77% said they believe the main or a major reason for the war was "to stop Saddam from protecting al Qaeda in Iraq."

This is an amazing statistic, considering there is absolutely no evidence of any influence or connection between Saddam and al Qaeda; in fact, just the opposite. This tells me that there is some kind of
major internal US military propaganda campaign going on (probably from boot camp on) to feed this lie to our troops enough times so it becomes their "truth."
