Repeat after me - no meaningful connection

Earlier, I linked to this survey showing that 75% of Bush supporters felt there was at least a substantial relationship between Al-Qaeda and Iraq (with 20% inexplicably believing that Saddam was directly involved with 9/11).

Iraq did not even make the list.
