The New York Times Bends History

The New York Times today:

One prominent neoconservative, Francis Fukuyama, asserts in a new book that the administration embraced democracy as a cornerstone of its policy only after the failure to find unconventional weapons in Iraq. The issue was seized upon to justify the war in retrospect, and then expanded for other countries, he says.


So the President only embraced democracy as a reason for invading Iraq after we failed to find the WMD's? That seems to be at odds with this reporting from...The New York Times:

President Bush sketched an expansive vision last night of what he expects to accomplish by a war in Iraq. Instead of focusing on eliminating weapons of mass destruction, or reducing the threat of terror to the United States, Mr. Bush talked about establishing a ''free and peaceful Iraq''


No wonder the Times is doing so poorly financially. After all, if the folks at the Times don't read their own newspaper why should anybody else?
