CNN's Henry cited Bush's "tout[ing]" of Iraq troop withdrawals -- but Henry had reported troops "would have to come home ... anyway"

SUMMARY: Reporting on a speech by President Bush, CNN's Ed Henry asserted: "The president touted the fact that more than 20,000 U.S. troops will be coming home from Iraq by July." However, Henry made no mention of his reporting for CNN in September 2007, when he noted Bush's attempt to "get some political credit for bringing these troops home" and said: "[I]t's important to stress, as you know, that military officials have already suggested that they're stretched and these surge troops would have to come home by next spring -- next summer anyway."
