Bush's rhetoric remains high-flown, but his arguments for war have
fallen apart

The flag of liberty has been firmly planted in Iraq, George Bush
declared on Wednesday, saying he was encouraged by the "incredible
bravery" shown by Iraqis who will vote in the country's elections on
Sunday.
It was a typical flourish of high-flown rhetoric. But the inescapable
reality is that the President's arguments have all but fallen apart.
After thousands of deaths and 21 months of untamed insurgency,
President Bush still clings to two basic assertions to justify the
invasion of Iraq. The world, he says, is better off without Saddam
Hussein, and Iraq all along has been part of the "war on terror".
