Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has adopted one of
George W. Bush's favorite lies about the Iraq War, that he had no
choice but to invade because Saddam Hussein barred the U.N. weapons
inspectors.

But perhaps even more noteworthy is that the eagle-eyed U.S. press
corps again failed to correct the record, as it has failed to do
since President Bush started rewriting the history four years ago.

corps have air-brushed Bush's actions in Iraq, go to Consortiumnews.com
