E.J.Dionne Jr: Rewriting the record.

[dand]

The organizers of this year's Republican convention engaged in some very shrewd rewriting of history. If you watched carefully, you noticed a narrative of the war on terrorism in which most of the last two years disappeared.

Viewers got enormous detail on the bravery displayed after the Sept. 11 attacks, but no pause to discuss how the administration chose to sell the war in Iraq, how so many of its assumptions went haywire or why our strategy was so flawed that we have now conceded large parts of the Sunni triangle to our enemies. There were no reminders of "Mission Accomplished" or "bring "em on."
