Scott McClellan, who served as White House press secretary under President George W. Bush from July 2003 to April 2006, published a scathing memoir, accusing the President of purposefully misleading Americans by manipulating intelligence and using propaganda to sell his agenda of going to war in Iraq.

McClellan claims Bush decided to invade Iraq soon after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the U.S. with no flexibility in his approach. McClellan says he was badly misguided by the Bush Administration regarding the war and was "at best misled" about the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame by Bush senior adviser Karl Rove, I. Lewis Scooter Libby, and Vice President Dick Cheney.

McClellan suggests that Libby and Rove secretly met to get their stories straight when federal investigators were hot on the Plame case. McClellan said, "Scooter Libby was walking to the entryway as he prepared to depart when Karl turned to get his attention. 'You have time to visit?' Karl asked. 'Yeah,' replied Libby. I have no idea what they discussed, but it seemed suspicious for these two, whom I had never noticed spending any one-on-one time together, to go behind closed doors and visit privately."

    The Bible says:

    Proverbs 13:22 (Amplified Bible)

    22A good man leaves an inheritance [of moral stability and goodness] to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner [finds its way eventually] into the hands of the righteous, for whom it was laid up.

    I think what is going on here is the President, Scott McClellan and some others are going after the wealth of the wicked Demonic-Rats. They are letting out the story in a way that Liberals will go "AH-HA!" and buy this book. Mr. McClean never says that Bush intentionally lied, only that He saw what he wanted to see.... very vague, but enough to get the mouths of demonic-rats foaming with excitement. They then go out and buy the book, The liberal media advertises for it and then more libs flock to go buy it. Then, watch Ill bet soon the GOP will have a surge in their finances for the elections, paid for by demonic-rats!

    So, George Bush & Dick Cheney are righteous?
    Tell that to the thousands of innocent Iraqi Men, Women and Children.

    And for what, a chance to grab a foothold in the Middle East to keep their Oil Friends in power?

    So I guess the majority of Americans are now Demonic Rats?

    You need to put down the Kool-aid and come back to the real world or go ahead and finish the glass so you can continue on your way to Jim's group in Hell. .

    Scot is telling the Truth; but understating the truth at the same time. The truth is all red blooded Americans know that 12 radom guys who have no record of boarding with box cutters are no match for most Americans, and there is no answer to the five Mosad agents who were caught clapping at the sight of the falling buildings initially being arrested as Arabs.
    Scott knows Bush Cheney were the most unpopular figures in history for stealing an election, and 911 won them 75% POPULARITY.
    Scot is concealing outright allegation of treason by Bush Cheney because he is aware in doing so he would be impeaching the 80% Congress who knowingly allowed Bush Cheney to attack a Muslim Nation with superior knowledge that the underlying cause for going to war was cooked.

    I think he unfortunately chose to believe his boss on many issues and tried to convey the Bush 'truth' to the american people and failed miserably. I think he is trying to make up for that now with his book and help us to see how we were lied to.

    Of course he is getting revenge. If he hadn't any negative feelings he would never have stated the things he did. But of course he could be going for reviews. The Times will certanly give him better reviews knowing he had something negative to say about Bush.

    McCleelan is not lying about Bush and his minions. However he is lying about himself when he says he was misguided on the facts. Maybe in the very begining he was led down a garden path but eventually he knew the facts, yet stayed at his job and kept the falsehood going. McClellan is not innocent.


    The good thing is he is willing to testify under oath against Bush should the government ever get around to charging and impeaching the bum.

    After seeing who "assisted" with the writing and the publication, I think there may have been a little twisting going on. I'm not going to say he lied, or is telling the truth. It's just a little suspicious.

    Scott is just saying what 50% of the country knew already. No doubt the other 50% will rip him apart for it. Holding true to their republican ways of never admitting when they are wrong. I wonder where they learned that? From our president and vice president maybe?

    No, Scott's message should be well received! However, the Republican’s are set in there ways, mainly because they are too old to change & 2 tired 2B happy. Republican’s are very gullible, yet patriotic and trust nearly everything that our government tells them to trust. If our politicians tell their fellow Republican’s that Scott McClellan’s book is false, then they will believe it to be so. If, on the other hand their party says the opposite, that Scott McClellan’s book is true, then they will believe it to be so. The Republican’s are quite stupid!

    Its just a big hate bush fest here among the morons. Want change? CHANGE THE FREAKING CHANNEL! The enemy continues to try and infultrate our government (and they have) to defeat any and all that stand for america's values and traditions which include freedom of religion! Dont think we dont see whats going on.... its very clear. You can call us racist, but thats not whats going on here. REVELATIONS.. you really should read it. The bible teaches free to choose and love all, the quran teaches judgment made by man and fear manipulation, who do you think would use those tactics? Who would represent love and who would represent fear? ITS ALREADY WRITTEN! ARNT YOU EVEN A LITTLE AFFRAID?

    I seriously doubt he is lying. Bush is the worst president ever and should be impeached. They tried to impeach Clinton for a lot less and it didn't even have something to do with screwing the country or his abilities as a president. His personal life had nothing to do with the great job he did for the country and the American people.

For those who voted for an f-d up last 7 years, don't cry now. For those who didn't vote for what has been the worst presidential admin in history, thank you for seeing thru the lies that were so apparent in the beginning.
