More nitpicking of Bush's speechesb

Can the media get any more childish and petty? Nedra Pickler (a sourpuss name if I've ever heard one) of the AP begins her report on Bush's speeches yesterday as follows:

President Bush marked the anniversary of the Iraq war Sunday by touting the efforts to build democracy there and avoiding any mention of the daily violence that rages three years after he ordered an invasion.

The president didn't utter the word "war."

Huh? Who cares? What is this factoid supposed to prove? I'm fed up with nonsense like this. It isn't worthy of a high school newspaper, let alone a major press service.
