Don't you find it more than a little peculiar that the Bush Administration has gone after McClellan's character versus the misinformation and lies that he wrote in his book?

If McClellan wrote the lies that have been alleged by Bush and his staff and given the already poor public opinion of him, there should be little doubt that McClellan's work would be systematically torn to shreds by Bush's team.

The character assignation that has flooded the airwaves since the release of the book has been lock and step with how this administration has handled similar situations in the past. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACH the individual instead of presenting evidence to support their arguement.

McClellan will no doubt need the $75,000 that was paid to him by the publisher of his book given that it will be very difficult to go forward with a career. Remember, he has a family and he is under 40, so he has many more years to find work to support himself and his love ones.

A lot of people will look real idiotic once Bush is gone and everyone, including some leading Republicans, disassociate themselves by revealing the corruption behind the scenes. The American people are pretty forgiving to people who "fess up". Let's see what happens when Bush doesn't have the power to attack and destroy all who come against him.

How will you deal with this dt?

Finally you said something I agree with , but I think it may be those who are voting for the extremely liberal big change character.

Show me a person who is liberal in his political thinking and I'll show you a person who is liberal in his walk with Christ.

The thing is McClellan omits Armitage giving Plames' identity to Bob Woodward at the Washington Post. He doesn't even mention that Armitage turned himself in to the Justice Department before Fitzgerald was named the special prosecutor. He also ignores Patrick Fitzgerald's long, expensive investigation that found no violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act.

This is why many believe the book is out of bitterness and was tweaked by the editors.

He is reeking of bitterness, mainly, because he knew people viewed him as unqualified and just a loyalist from Texas, which is probably true. He was ousted because he was unqualified plain and simple. His mother is even reported as saying that he would fight back. Sounds just like her. lol

I've read several reviews by people I respect. And incidentally, the above information that I posted is pretty much common knowledge, although I think some may have forgotten about it.
