22% Believe Bush Knew About 9/11 Attacks in Advance
Friday, May 04, 2007
Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.
Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 18% believe the President knew and 57% take the opposite view.
Overall, 22% of all voters believe the President knew about the attacks in advance. A slightly larger number, 29%, believe the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. White Americans are less likely than others to believe that either the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance. Americans are more likely than their elders to believe the President or the CIA knew about the attacks in advance.
However, just 8% of voters say the CIA was Very Truthful before the War in Iraq. Another 33% believe the CIA was Somewhat Truthful. Most, 52%, believe the CIA was Not Very Truthful or Not at All Truthful before the War.
Still, 57% have a favorable opinion of the CIA. Thirty-six percent (36%) have an unfavorable view.
Former CIA Director George Tenet doesn’t fare so well. He is viewed favorably by 29% of voters and unfavorably by 49%.
Just 12% have followed news stories about Tenet’s new book Very Closely. Another 29% have followed the stories Somewhat Closely. Fifty-six percent (56%) have not been following the news stories about Tenet.
22% are blithering idiots.
That was already stated when they indicate that they were Democrats.
Just what the hell is that supposed to mean? When you get "old" you're no longer an American? Or is "young" a synonym for "foolish"?

Yeah and they probably vote too. My bet is , they are in the Dem fold mostly and very Left, very young in comparison to the average Pub voter, and very university educated via brainwashing.
Just for fun, when talking with an extremely leftish friend of mine, I told him of the theory that FDR knew about the planned attack on Pearl Harbor and deliberately let it happen.
Oh man, you should have seen it. Who said liberalism isn’t a religion? I would have gotten a less dramatic response if I had shoved a broomstick up his rear end.
I really love pushing their buttons.
outstanding. i saw an earlier comment about the unemployed being part of this 22%. clearly every one of these twits must be
1) unemployed
2) overemployed ( an idiot disguised as savant)
3) a tenured college professor
YES! All the moonbats should be armed, along with the right wing nutjobs and the faceless nameless proles like me!
And please wipe the sneer off your face when you say that. You look like Katie Couric or Sarah Brady trying to explain why only the elitists should have guns.
There. I fixed it.
