AP reported today that “President Bush keeps revising his explanation for why the U.S. is in Iraq, moving from narrow military objectives at first to history-of-civilization stakes now.”
AP reported this?
AP went on: “Initially, the rationale was specific: to stop Saddam Hussein from using what Bush claimed were the Iraqi leader's weapons of mass destruction...”
Bush “claimed?” This from a supine news services which has unquestioning and slavishly reported every ludicrous statement of the Exalted Supreme Emperor in the past?
AP goes on:
“But 3 1/2 years later, with no weapons found, still no end in sight and the war a liability for nearly all Republicans on the ballot Nov. 7, the justification has become far broader and now includes the expansive ‘struggle between good and evil.’"
My God! What is going on? Did AP finally discover the emperor is naked?
They may revert to form tomorrow, but break out the champagne today!
