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.

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.

McClellan is obviously reporting what happened as he sees it looking back at his experience with the administration.

He's not telling us anything we really don't already know. This administration is filled with mass corruption. We'll know more when their out of office. And those who defended them should be viewed as being of like spirits.

Well, well, well. That settles it.

We'll see what happens when Pentagon officials, advisers, CIA officers, embassadors, congressmen, and others who have been silent for fear of being politically destroyed feel safe enough to speak out.

Pressing....you seem to think the issue is settled. Just wait. You'll look real silly after all is said and done. I think it will prove many around here don't have the judgment to babysit a gold fish. I think that if this administration is proven to be as corrupt as I believe we'll find out....those who supported them should be legally declared too blind to legally vote again.

How will you deal with this dt?

lets see i will live my life, and laugh, love and be happy, how bout you, dt

LOL! We shall see. I've watched the thing closely as it has unfolded, so nothing here is new news to me. I've watched McClellan as spokesman for the Bush Administration and I wondered why they had chosen him in the first place. So, really, I was on board with his "unqualified" a long time ago.
