Cripes. You know if you read the speeches of Bush, and Chenney, Rice and Powell during the build-up to the war, you'll discover that they laid out several reasons for the war and it wasn't just WMD's. Don't focus on the soundbites. Read Bush's speech in November of 2002 or his SOTU address. Read the complete transcript of Chenney's interview with Tim Russert on MTP. All of the reasons are there.
The problem is that the press can't handle a mulitple-point argument. If they ask the President why should we go to war in Iraq, and he says, "There's point a, b, c, d, e ... etc." they'll say "yeah, yeah, but what's the real (one) reason. It's all soundbites with the press, not substance.
You are correct and the media has not heard one of them. The only thing they hear are the dem talking points and repeat them like a mantra - "Bush lied", "Bush lied".
The ignorant press also fails to report on the finds of weapons and equipment traced back to Iraq in many other countries, they fail to report on the progress in Iraq, they fail to report on Saddam's tortures. Hm...wonder how come none of that is worth reporting?
Maybe we should start calling them the Al Qaeda media.
