Iraq: Denial and Deception

I did a google search for a transcript of Bushie's Iraq speech the other day, and I came across the speech he gave in Cincinnati before the invasion of Iraq. It was a press release on the official White House website. The above graphic was the header. I thought someone must have hacked into the website and changed the graphic until I realized that the denial and deception was supposed to refer to Saddam, not the Bushies.

This speech was the original official justification for going to war. In Thursday's speech, Bushie used the word "freedom" 18 times and "democracy" or "democratic" 15 times. He told us we had gone in for the "freedom" of the Iraqi people. Yet, in his Cincinnati speech, he only used the word "freedom" 3 times in the following contexts:

protect our freedom, and help others to find freedom
People everywhere prefer freedom

Democracy is not found in the Cincinnati speech.

I am surprised someone from the administration has not rewritten the Cincinnati speech or taken it down altogether, since it is proof that the justification for going to war has changed. I guess Winstead isn't around to change the chocolate rations.
