Bush Leaves Out Complex Facts in Speech:
CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated PressThis sort of outrageous "reportage" goes on and on and . . .
NEW YORK - President Bush's boast of a 30-member-strong coalition in Iraq masked the reality that the United States is bearing the overwhelming share of costs, in lives and troop commitments. And in claiming to have routed most al-Qaida leaders, he did not mention that the big one got away.
Bush's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night brought the nation a collection of facts that told only part of the story, hardly unusual for this most political of occasions.
He took some license in telling Americans that Democratic opponent John Kerry 'is running on a platform of increasing taxes.'"
