Time: 54% believe Bush misled on Iraq

Angus Reid Global Monitor

Many adults in the United States believe their president was not truthful in his rationale to launch military action against Iraq, according to a poll by SRBI Public Affairs published in Time. 54 per cent of respondents think George W. Bush deliberately misled Americans to build his case for war, up six points since December.

The coalition effort against Saddam Hussein’s regime was launched in March 2003. At least 2,735 American soldiers have died during the military operation, and more than 20,600 troops have been wounded in action.
