Mr. Lambert is obviously getting his news from the wrong sources. I know, I know. You're shocked, shocked!
I say, let's have at him. He deserves to dragged kicking and screaming into the Age of Enlightenment.

You know what he said...."Major combat operations are over.There is still dangerous work to do."and the " mission accomplished" was true for the carrier crew.

This is such a total steaming pile of doggy doo that it's tough to decide to even acknowlege it.
For starters, who believes that
those three questions determine the level of awareness of world events and geopolitics?
"PROGRESSIVES"
A flawed excercise from the get-go.

Didn't Bush say the Iraqi war was over when he was on the carrier? No he didn't.

The AlQueda/Iraq link TO 911 is what the President said there is no evidence of.

Nice work.
This is still my favorite:
"If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow... Some day, some way, I guarantee you, he'll use the arsenal." -- Former President Bill Clinton, Feb. 18, 1998.

The marching legion has swallowed this hook, line and sinker..this appeared in the October 29th local paper opinion page...
Fox viewers rated most misinformed
KEWAUNEE Questions are being raised about how the United States ended up engaging in a war sold to its people based on bogus premises. Theres mounting evidence of (1) the administrations purposeful exaggerations and lies; and (2) the failure of U.S. media to question the rush to war. A yearlong study about Fox News viewers was recently released.
(See www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/Media_10_02_03_Report.pdf.)
Of all news viewers studied, Fox News viewers had the most misperceptions. Eighty percent of Fox viewers believed at least one of the un-facts below; 45 percent believed all three.
Most Fox News viewers believe U.S. troops have found clear evidence that Saddam worked closely with al-Qaida. President Bush himself admits they have not.
More Fox News viewers believe the United States has found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq since the wars end. The American weapons search team reports it hasnt found any.
More Fox News viewers believe world opinion supported going to war. Only the United States and Israel had a majority in favor of war on Iraq. People of every other nation were overwhelmingly against.
Unbiased information, a crucial foundation of a democracy, is available if one searches. Fox News is not a source of such information.
J Bussiere (Sounds french to me)
I hadn't come across this current post until I read this opinion in the paper. At first I was angry, then thought it must be a sly attempt at satire, then realized after searching FR that this was indeed a "real" article/survey.
Democrats are in an allout propaganda war villifying anything that even hints of conservatism.
