The Associated Press' Iraq Analysis

The Associated Press Claims "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." "When no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, Bush shifted his war justification to one of liberating Iraqis from a brutal ruler. After Saddam's capture in December 2003, the rationale became helping to spread democracy through the Middle East." (Tom Raum, "Bush Keeps Revising War Justification," The Associated Press, 10/14/06)

The Associated Press Alleges The President Calls Iraq The "Central Front" In The War On Terror For Political Purposes. (Tom Raum, "Bush Keeps Revising War Justification," The Associated Press, 10/14/06)
