He’ll do that in his next book.

His editor tweaked it with ALL the liberal gibberish that has been going on for years. It is a wonder he didn't detail how Bush arranged 911 but I suppose that would be going too far in the credibility department. The other publishers turned this book down because it was boring and contributed nothing to general knowledge. But this liberal editor changed all that and tried to justify all their talking points in one book by a sort of loyal insider. Scott McClellan is a turncoat and he did it for money. I watched his smirking face for a few minutes on an Olberman (gag!!!) video but could not take it for very long. He was the worst spokesman for the president I have ever seen. He looked wooden and clueless and spoke in a dead monotous voice like Ben Stein's high school teacher role in the Wonder Years. Rush to war. That's not my recollection. Mine is what in the hell is taking so long. How many times did we go to the UN in an effort to appease the democrats who think the UN should be governing us. Were we going to wait until Saddam has the bomb? Just like we are waiting until Iran has the bomb. Any idiott knows Saddam shipped this stuff to Syria who has since given it to Iran. I don't believe for a minute that Saddam didn't have ths stuff. There ws no other reason he defied the whole world about it. It could not have been that he thought we wouldn't do anything. We were already in Afghanistan. We had shown we could do something and we were angry enough until politics interupped our resolve after 911. It’s not the same book.

Brilliant. As I said in another thread, just how credible is he? The guy fully admits being in the dark for most of his tenure. If he didn't know anything then, what can he magically tell us now, post de facto? What should have been a paragraph in an essay became a novel. And I'll repeat something else.

Everything else is embellishment and speculation that is permissible in literature (as long as not libel).

McClellan tells us that’s how things went in the meetings he wasn’t in.

Franks blames Feith and Bremer for pre-invasion intel and post invasion problems respectively Bremer blames Tenet for poor intel about what condition Iraq was really in before the invasion Tenet blames Feith for distorting intel that the CIA rebutted 48hrs after the last presenation from Feith's group (and let's ignore the dozens of closed door hearings the CIA had w the WH, Senate, and House intel committees after the last presentation from Feith's group) Feith says biggest w Iraq war was PR handling and letting msm run roughshod-even literally airing enemy propaganda videos on CNN etc. Now out pops McClellan saying it was NOT the PR (his job), but instead points fingers at Rove and others who apparently must have held rank over Tenet, 15 other intelligence leaders, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Franks, Rice, and Powell. How'd Rove do this? Well, McClellan tells us that's how things went in the meetings he wasn't in. yeah, ok. Thanks for the tell all. Fits the model great. Too bad you've shot your wad before the Admin's over. Now you'll never be able to capitalize on the Obama Era "It's Bush's Fault" moola. Exit question: What company on the planet would hire this guy as a spokesman now? Lemme get this straight….
