Saddam's role in 9/11? What role was that, exactly?
Your question is so on point.
It does sound crazy, but, apparently, according to the poll, 90% of the troops believe the war is in retaliation for Saddam's involvement in the 9/11 attacks on the US.
Are the troops being fed a line of propaganda that would make them believe this? I just don't know.
