Ever since President Bush violated the mainstream media’s script by winning the 2004 election the wire services have been in a non-stop frenzy of retaliatory reporting. Now it’s reached the point where they’ve completely stopped pretending to be “impartial,” and instead release one ludicrous “news” piece after another—like this one from the Associated Press: Bush Marks Anniversary, Never Says ‘War’. (Hat tip: Allah.)
WASHINGTON - President Bush marked the anniversary of the Iraq war Sunday by touting the efforts to build democracy there and avoiding any mention of the daily violence that rages three years after he ordered an invasion.
The president didn’t utter the word “war.”
“We are implementing a strategy that will lead to victory in Iraq,” the president assured a public that is increasingly skeptical that he has a plan to end the fighting after the deaths of more than 2,300 U.S. troops.
Administration officials repeated the mantra that progress continues toward building a unified Iraqi government and nation.
