3. Saddam wanted what was best for Iraqis.
4. The museum in Baghdad was looted of thousands of precious objects.

Add to that:

President Bush claimed there was an "imminent" threat from Iraq.

President Bush said Iraq was trying to obtain uranium from "NIGER."

See Andrew Sullivan for links to show how CNN, TIME, NEWSWEEK, the AP, etc. are spreading these blatant lies.

They don't have to. They already know everything they need to know, and are quite comfortable with their perception of the world and all it's wonders:

The PIPA study suggests a strong link between people's understanding of the news and its source. That link held true throughout different demographic segments, such as those based on education level, viewing habits, and partisan leanings, Ramsay said.

"It proves that what we're doing is great journalism," says NPR spokeswoman Laura Gross. "We're telling the truth and we let our audience decide."

If they get any more facts, it might confuse them.
