I don’t like the Iraq war. I am also not a big fan of the Bush administration. However it is pretty low when a supposedly “respected” news sources, can’t give credit where credit is due. How would this story have read had it happened while Bush was still in office? There wouldn’t be any Iraq vote if it wasn’t for Bush. Is he mentioned anywhere in the story? No.

The BBC spun this story in a similar way. News reports leading up to the vote emphasised that this was the first election since 2005, implying that the security situation had rendered another one impossible before now.
