No news here.

“Naturally the common people don’t want war. But after all, it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it’s always a
simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every
country.”
- Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshall, at the Nuremberg
Trials after World War II.

How anyone at all could in good conscience vote Republican this fall, is simply beyond my comprehension.

At this point, even if you don't vote Dem, it's fine. We cannot afford four more years of this. Why hasn't this administration been held accountable, Congress? Where were the impeachment hearings? Where were the trials?

Scott, Wichita..

Good people have died or have been disfigured for life on a war based on lies.

History will condem Bush...Nixon will look like a great President in comparison.

If you love this country DON'T VOTE FOR McCAIN!

"Playing loose with the truth",is that equal to: he lied???.....
Just a thought........after all ,I would nopt expect anything else,especially after I read, and was shocked ,concerning his grandfather and his role.....google Prescott Bush if you think more news is needed....It will help all understand his "mindset"......

Remember guys, the Clintons have been lying to us for far more than eight years.

Gives "shock and awe" a whole new meaning...uh-huh...

TO FRED 2...

YOU ARE A NEGATIVE PERSON....YOUR BLOGS SHOW IT...MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, CAUSE OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THESE UNITEDS STATES.....WHO KNOWS YOU MIGHT FIND YOURSELF IN A BETTER SITUATION THAN NOW....SO YOU CAN STOP BEING BITTER AND HOLD TO YOUR GUN!!! lol

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY OBAMA IS GOING TO BEAT MCBUSH!!!!!

OBAMA '08

HilLIARY would have fit right in with this Lying coniving group!

Yes WE CAN!

Fred2,
You are a bitter FOOL!!! Noone will be worst then Bush...Have you not been really reading the headlines (Bush ratings at an all time low...the worst President ever). Some people just see and hear what they want too!! You were one of the idiots that put him in office twice.

You need prayer...

OBAMA '08

It's not unusual in Washington to "bite the hand that feeds you", especially when it makes you money.

INDEPENDENT NOW, hillary voted for the war remember, you say you knew the whole was fishy, why didn't hillary know!

This is the exact same kind of lies, propaganda, and deception that we'd get if that crazy broad Clinton got into the whitehouse. Her and Bush are cut from the same cloth.

Well, I believe that many of us already knew this but thanks for the confirmation, Scott.

Dubya now has earned the dubious distinction of being the worst President ever! And Scott McClellan's minting money out of this fact! If I did not have to pay a fortune just to fill up my car I would probably have had a laugh out of this....

What!?!!? Bush LIED to US!?!? I am shocked and appalled that we have been lied to by our Great Leader!

And here I thought we would ACTUALLY find WMD in Iraq someday...... soon..... or was that Oil we went looking for!

The Clinton's Legacy:

Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Whitewater, the White House travel office firings, White House coffees and Lincoln bedroom stays for donors, FBI background files on Republicans, missing documents and the presidential pardon of a fugitive friend.

Anyone But Hillary!

This will be one of the many to help correct history and not allow it to be spun the way the NEOCON's would like.

fred2..since another stole my name. Nice try. McFossil will not win. Only a fool would vote for him.

Disgruntled employee writes book. Make lots of money and gets lots of attention. Where's the news in this??

How quick you libs forget how your last nominee stole the whitehouse china, bold faces lied about his affair in the whitehouse and lord knows what else.

Sad.....very sad.

WE HAD 8 YEARS OF NON EXPERINCE AND NOW PEOPLE HOPE OBAMA STEALS THE ELECTION TOO.

Hillary supporters, don’t betray this country and the democratic party. We need a change from how this country has been run for the past 8 years. Hillary would have been a great president but Obama will be just as good or better.

Swallow your pride and realize the bigger picture. We NEED this now more than ever! Don’t divide and fall, let us stand tall and concur this political catastrophe the republicans have gotten us into.

Bush lied?? no way.....

Bush is as honest as all those rich bureaucrats whose taxes were reduced because of him.

Let's this prick out of the white house !!....but do not put McBush instead because it will be worse..

I keep forgetting that I am not allowed to post comments on this forum....perpetually "awaiting moderation"...

I am truly disappointed. It is our responsibilty to vote and i dnt care who u vote 4 just vote. it is sad to see people sayin they arent gonna vote because the canidate didnt get the nomination. I would suggest looking at the campaign of the two that did when and deciding which of 1 those 2 would be the best for the country. We really need to quit with the bickering like little children and act our ages. I am a democrat and i voted for obama in the primary and i will be voting for the democratic nominee even if it is hillary.

Art, you just showed the mentality of HRC supporters, thanks!

This guy Scott McClellan is going to be in big do do. He writes the book after the fact when he could have spoken out earlier. Makes me think alot of it is false.

Why don't Hillary leave the democratic party to form her own party?

She wants to decide for the leader of her party, instead of following rule that was strongly agreed upon.

Her actitdue is disgusting, the Clinton are eager to go back to the White House by all means.

If it is possible for the Clintons to buy their way into the White House they would have done just that.

It very clear that she can't win the nominee ,but yet she continues to push and criticize the leader of her party for not agreeing with her or not following Her own rules.

She doesn't take no for an answer, either she have it her way or no way. Now she is waiting for negative possibility to happen with Obama so she can steal it from Him. Is't that desparate to suggest that something negative might happen along the way and that will give her the nomination?

DNC please follow Hillary/Bill Clinton's rule so that we will have rest of mind.

Hillary have you found someone to do your dirty laundry?

AJ wrote "I am a Clinton supporter with post graduate degrees and a very good income. I will not support Obama in the fall as I do not believe that he will be good for the nation. If you want to think me an idiot, have at it. I however can articulate my objections to Obama, unlike you slack jawed mental midgets that can only walk around with stars in your eyes babbling on about hope and change and yet support a candidate that has shown no evidence of achieving either. Obama's record is long on rhetoric and short on substance."
===============
AJ, you do not sound like someone with "post graduate degrees and a very good income."
You do not sound like a Clinton Supporter because they are blue collar guys and not "elitist and arrogant" like Obama.
You sound like a BITTER ONE who has issues
Cool off and chill for McSame has your vote to take us to Iran for another 100 years-:)

This is just proof positive that there’s just too much deception in Washington. We, the American people, are in desperate need of change and soon! Hillary doesn’t offer it, plain and simple. She' s just business as usual and we DONT need that! McCain is the exact opposite of what we need to fix all the wrong bush inc has perpetrated.

Hillary supporters. Valiant effort, but the game is up. Don’t do the disservice to this country by trashing Obama. He's the best person for this country right now and the people have spoken on that!

Democrat for president 08!

I do know that I will buy 3 copies and give one to my republican friends .

Go Bush becos u just got Bushed my your own friend and personel

I think few are surprised by McClellan's "revelations" about the misleading wool he was ordered to pull over the eyes of his fellow citizens. His personal motivation and timing, ahead of his new book release, are suspect at best. But that doesn't mean what he is saying isn't the truth as he sees it. What he thinks doesn't matter, though. What matters, is what Congress, the Senate, and ultimately we the American people decide to do with the information. Will they and we turn yet another blind eye? Think of the unrelenting tenacity Congress, and the Senate displayed to unseat a good president, albeit lesser man, in the so called Lewinsky affair. If Congress and the Senate fail to address the current adimnistration in a way that will justify their own political existence, I hope the American people will see it for the unforgivable cowardice it would be , and that they will make their opinions heard come election day. Will another smoking gun just be left where it is until the smoke clears? That is not the kind of representation I voted for. How about you?

McClellan has apparently offered some kind of soft defense of Bush in parts of this book, saying that he and Bush were BOTH deceived by the "advisors"..even if that is the case, is THAT the president's way of leading this country? Listening to a bunch of war-mongering, deceitful, egotistical, immoral hypocrites. Bush should take the blame for being "naive" at best, or "stupid" in the reality....
and, to the posters saying that Obama or Hillary would be worse, think!!! Anyone would have to try REALLY, REALLY hard to be worse than G.W. Bush.....

Congrats sir! I cant wait to buy your book!

This is why we need open clear politics!

Obama 08'

Opps I meant confuse not use

Sure politicians use propaganda, but "yes we can" is positive. Its not propaganda meant to send over 4,000 Americans to their death!! So the comparison is reaching in the extreme!! Don't use Obama's positive message with a false call to war!

wow people are really gonna vote for another party out of spite for a canidate. that is truly sad fed up dem

The headline should read "Liberals use propaganda to slam Bush"

Last weekend I watched the decider all primped up with a error of wealthy importance laying the the wreath for the folks that gave their lives for he and his friends s(l)ick cause's. After having watched as this bunch worked to discredit the folks that were working to wean us off some of our bad habits and the imported energy over which this bunch wished to maintain control.

If all he cared for is telling the truth, he should have published the "truth" in an op-ed or did a live TV interview.

Publishing it in a book means his goal is $$$. Clear and simple.

Dud…we didn't know this already!! This is what you get when you put someone in the White House that doesn't have a clue!!

That is why Hillary can never be elected…she would be worse than Bush!!

I wonder if Scott wants to become a CNN News contributor. Democrats must have paid him a lot of money. CNN, you can give him a job...

Propaganda?

So, then I guess all the statements made by the dems in the late '90's and even leading up to and after we went into Iraq would be propaganda too??

All dems are traitors, and should be punished for turning their backs on this country!!

No one knew this up until a book is written?

Wow! And to think that the idiot rabid dog, vagina obsessed Hillary supporters threaten to vote for McBush! Geez us H ! Please help us!

It seems like everything is somehow Obama's fault or a supporter of Obama's fault. Nice try Clinton Heads!
Truth be told CNN in all their honest reporting have done little to further Obama from the get go. Even to this day. The news services are just discuised republican attacks on Obama and of course they want Clinton on the ticket they have a file about 3 feet thick on her ready to slam the woman to the ground were she to gain the nomination. As for lack of experience in the OBAMA court, I bet that was the slider they threw at Lincoln, Taft, Garfield, and many others. Truth be told we could use someone with a little common sense in the White House. Someone who acts like a human not like a banker. Hillary and her millions , whatever!! She needs a job for more money, Barack will be a good leader. You republicans need a candidate you can tell what to say and what to do or at least the Rich and Powerful can. This is America, land of the free. Not land of rules set forth by rich republicans!!! I work, I pay taxes and I vote for who I want, just like the rest of the country and if you are so thick you cant see OBAMA is who we want. No more free BONOS for Billary!!!!!!
Hillary is menapausal, like me! I know she should absolutely NOT have her finger near any RED buttons during this time in her life. Just not a good idea, what happens if she has a bad day at work, fights with Bill about Monica or Jennifer, a shot and a beer and gets the call in the middle of the night? It will be just "kill them all " thats what, she can hardly handle her out of control hubby and Peter Paul for corns sakes. Holy Buckets folks, who do you want to lead you. Someone who can think on their feet? Someone who is told what to say and like a parrot says what he is told? Or someone about to have a nervous breakdown?
Now OBAMA doesn't seem so bad does he. Common sence was a good thing when I was a child and STILL IS. Get a grip.
These false hopes about Hillary having a chance if they seat Florida and Michigan, if you went to grade school you can add. She IS NOT GOING TO GET THE NOMINATION!!!!! SHE CANT AFFORD IT NOW her money has gone into her campaign like a crazed MONOPOLY player going for broke !
I lived in Florida and saw the votes drive up and down the highway while Bush pushed to close the election. RMEMEMBER THE VOTES WERE NOT COUNTED THEN AND ALL THEY DID WAS ROLL OVER AND PLAY DEAD. Was that because the republican of choice was ahead? Is that an example of how rich republicans play the game? I think so. CNN you insult us all by not reporting the accurate numbers, or story. Why don't you quit telling your reporters what to say or has this republican thing got you by the balls too?

CNN Print this if you DARE>!

No matter what, Bush is better than McCain. Atleast he is straight.
OBAMA / AL GORE 2008

It only shows that even one of Bush's loyalist show how corrupt the Bush administration is...

But still, Scott, was knowingly and willingly immersed in all of the crap that was going on -- and was a willful participate for many, many years. Perhaps this was out of loyalty....

Which makes one wonder... is Scott doing coming out like this because he sprouted a conscious, or is he thinking about the dividends of his tell-all book?

Either way, it confirms.... Bush and crew are slime.

Do this country a favor; educate yourselves before you try to vote McBushy into office!

It wouldn't have taken a rocket scientist to realize that going into Iraq to try to make them a democracy would work. What it would have taken is what only 30% of the American population has, a college education. I honestly don't think Bush would have gotten reelected if more Americans would have been knowledgeable about other cultures, something that is usually learned at a liberal arts, 4 year university and some other colleges. There are also those people who aren't college educated but read a lot about other cultures and religions, which can be just as useful, as far as understanding what's realistic.

And here we are again... Looks like the wrong person will have a good chance to become president, again, because of America's ignorants. For you Mc Cain (McBushy) fans, you go ahead and vote for that old, dusty puppet. You Christians out there, go ahead and vote for Mc Cain and watch him kill more people (including your sons and daughters) in Iraq for no reason. And don't believe that our troops are dieing for American freedom because our freedom hasn't been threaten since World War 2.

I do think Obama has something that none of the other politicians have, and that's a rich cultural background. Obama will have a better understanding of what it would take to be a good president (leader) and diplomat. Yes, our next president will also have to be a great diplomat; that's what it's going to take to get help from other countries and to reestablish a better American image in this world. Yes, this country does need help from other countries now. We need better trade deals and so on, and that might happen if our image becomes more positive.

And for you Christians out there who will always vote republican just because they seem to be Christian too, because of there feelings on abortion and whatever else, go ahead, and see how much this country will suffer if McBushy makes it in. While McBushy is killing thousands more of our troops and others for nothing, we’ll be pinching our pockets because all of the bonds (loans) that will need to be paid back to China to support a war that would cost another trillion dollars. I know the war is just a drop in the bucket compared to other financial problems, but it sure doesn't help. Who knows how much those bonds are going to cost us when they are finally paid back.

AJ

First let me say that I appreciate your taking Marv to task, there are several supporters of Mr. Obama that need to be taken to task on these blogs.

Second I disagree with the conclusion you have reached concerning Mr. Obama. While I feel that calling someone a slack jawed mental midgeet is uncalled for I would tend to use that expression on those who claim that Ms. clinton is "Short on Rhetoric and long on substance". I would point out that her "experiance" is NOT real, her 35 years includes barely 5 years in ACTUAL public service, as has been pointed out by many serving tea during treaty discussions is not the same as discussing treaties. her time in the Senate is NOT filled with very many bills written or sponsered by her. As a matter of fact Mr. Obama has sponsored more bills in his (2 year) shorter tenure in the Senate than Ms. Clinton has, including a non-partisian Nuclear non-proliferation bill. Mr. Obama's record in Illinois is actually very strong on non partisian work to reduce corruption in the legislature there. During this campaing Ms. Clinton has used EVERY misstatement by Mr. Obama in her stump speeches where as Mr. Obama has reframed (mostly) from those type attacks. he has NEVER raised her outright lies about sniper fire in Bosnia, for example, in ANY speech. This shows a higher character, one who understands that, while in this race they are opponents, they are not, in reality, on different sides. He understands that they are trying to find the one best to articulate the beliefs of the Democratic Party and that they are NOT really enemies. Ms. clinton has forgotten that, she has forgotten that this is not about her but about who is best to represent America for at least the next four years.

So in short if you would like to articulate your objections to Mr. Obama, backed up with fact (as I have done here, breifly, with my objections) and discuss this election I would live to do that with you at any time. Your attacks on the posters here, much like Ms. Clinton's attacks on Mr. Obama (IMO) seem to say that you are not willing to ahve that discussion either. Now take your PHd and use it, vote OBAMA 08. After all I am using my 21 years as an enlisted in the Navy, my degree earned while in the Navy on my "free time", my experiance managing a fast food rest., my experiance as a bricklayer, my experiance as an Engineer and Prjoect Manager and making a thoughtful decision and voting for the one candiadte, while not perfect, who is MOST LIKELY to change the way Washington is run. i am willing to take the educated chance to better things where as you appear to be too afraid to make a change to keep the lying Washington partisian politicos in power. It has failed so far why do you think it will change?

And McBush will use more propaganda and fear mongering to continue this foolish war for one hundred years. O8bama

Bush/McCain – LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES. Changing positions to serve themselves. We saw how the Republican war ship operates in the movie RECOUNT the other night. They will stop at nothing to destroy America for the sake of their own EGO. Hillary is proving to be much of the same.

WAIT !! you mean Bush LIED to us ?? noooooo way. REALLY ?

Scott.... YOU used Bush's propaganda to push Bush's illegal war. At least you bailed out, but the blood is on your hands too boy.

Shocking. Almost as shocking as finding out Mark McGuire took steroids.

The only question I have, is why wait until over 4,000 Americans are dead to now tell us that the war was a lie? How many more will now die for this quest to make Halliburton and Blackwater investors more rich? Where was your conscience then, Scott? Oh yeah, hiding behind the money this book deal brought you.

But he vas only followink ze orders, ya?

A pathetic administration.

Buh bye.

Why does CNN think the American are stupid and didn't know that the war is based on lies

How could you expect him to speak out when he was in the White House – I bet 80% of the people blogging here supported the war to begin with – and anyone who 'spoke out' was shot down and called an anti american – so don't give this guy crap for not standing up to his superiors!

I'm surprised it has come out this early, I thought he'd wait until closer to the general election if he really wanted to do some damage!

Look it won't be long before all the rats on the ship start looking for a way out! there will be more books, more interviews, and even talk of war crime charges – but if anyone will get hit with that, it'll be Dick -

the propaganda continues: McCain attacks Obama for wanting to get us out. Bush already declared victory. Why are we concerned about leaving if we won? Was the victory a lie too?

Bush and company should be in jail

duuuuhhhhh, MANY of us knew all of this LONG LONG ago!!!!

i am loving every minute of this administration and the GOP crumbling before our eyes!!!!

i dont recommend that any of you guys wear gold jewelry from here on, cuz it is NOT a good look to mix your gold and silver jewelry--and those SILVER BRACELETS are coming soon!!!!!

Why haven't the Democratic majority acted upon the current administration's policies long before this book? Bush and Cheney should be impeached for their actions while in office. The American media, for the most part, does not report civilian casualties in Iraq. The global media (European, etc...) has estimated the total deaths of Iraqi women, children and other non-combatants to be well over a half-million lives. Bush, Cheney, and the current administration would be brought before The Hague for Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide if they weren't American.

And all of our elected Representatives and Senators voted for a war based on propaganda – Why didn't more of them question the President – Please tell me how Clinton and McCain can stand before us today and say they made the right decision that has lead to the death of thousands of young men, the grief that these young men families have had to endure.

Alot of people will have too stand before God and give some accountability for his/her actions.

It's nice to hear the truth finally surface, although most of us knew it all along. At the same time i cant applaud someone who lied to all of us for many years as a white house spokesman. Why are you now deciding to tell the truth?

why am i awaiting moderation?

there are worst postings than mine, at least mine are truthful and well thought out!

HE STOLE THE LAST ELECTION, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU!~

Its more and more clear that the Bush administration is incompetent and lies in issue from issue. That McCain support that the politics of lies and incompetense should continue is a big mistake and will give Obama an easy victory.

Why call it propaganda?Cant anyone ever say it was outright lying anymore?

Hmm I have said it before and I will say it again:
Who would vote for a president that lies to get what they want?
Who would vote for a president that covers up information and does secret back room deals?
Who would vote for a president that uses fear to steer the voters instead of common sense?
Who would vote for bush?
Simple those people who are voting for the same in their candidate this year... Hiallry supporters she is more like bush in her belief that she is more important than the country yep go ahead vote for another lian, backstabbing, fool who is surrounded by yes men and cannot see the reality around them.. vote Hillary 08! Morons

Someone please explain the rationale for accepting McCain's medical report, with no further explanations, since it has no content addressing Alzheimer's testing although new tests have been invented that can tell us if he has 'incipient' Alzheimer's, and the report has no content addressing short term memory loss testing. It looks like the whitewash of the year, to me.

How differently I would have felt about Mr. McClellan had he stood at the podium and said what in hindsight will be taken as "sour grapes" by the administration who trashed him. Truth told when it is difficult is heroism. Truth told to sell books is less heroic than expedient.

Where's the third stooge in the pic?

I hope everyone remembers this when they go to the polls in November. McCain is practically a mirror image of the Bush administration. McCain may try to distance himself from Bush knowing Bush’s low approval rating but deep down everyone knows that in the end McCain will continue the Bush ways if he becomes our next President.

SUPPORTING THE DEMOCRATS 110%

All Americans knew this. It just had to come from the inside.

No way he lied to us? HAHAHA, I think we already knew that!

At least I can say I didn't Vote for Bush either time.

AJ Where do you stand on the restoration of the Constitution, or have you accepted the propaganda that we dont need civil rights, since there are terrorists under our beds? Obama and not Clinton and not McCain, will restore habeas corpus, and I dont understand anyone's fear of terrorists overriding the restoration of the Constitution.

Whats truly tragic is that by 2004 most American's already knew that most of the information spewing out of George Bush's mouth was lies and deceit but re-elected him anyway!!!

This is something we already know. Tell us something we don't already know. I only agree with this guy in the area of the media not doing a good job by failing to seriously go after this president and his administration harder than they did.

To fred2

You are an idiot.Why don't you just remain in your party-Republican.
We don't need you to unite behind our nominee.mind your party with
its failed policies.

Brandon , is right....

Quite a few have tryed to somehow turning this on Obama?

It looks like this site is packed with paid political operatives… professionals can only make that stretch, even though they do it ineffectively.

For those saying Bush had no experience and thats why Obama scares them need to study recent history. Bush did have executive experience, and the pushers of this policy (Cheaney, Rumsfled, Wolfowitz) were the most experienced guys around.

This is about poor judgement, nepotism, and huge ego (not to mention a careless attitude) I would add. Fox News has carl Rove on as an analyst.

Just proves the point that they and Repbulicans can do all the wrong but in the eyes of other Republicans. they seem to think that they are fair and balanced.. NOT!

Everyone who voted for Bush both times should look at this as a reason to look at what this says about his legacy his administration is going to leave on this country. He is the Worst President in History. Worst Administraion in History. They all look like a bunch of crooks!
Thank God the Cold War was over when he took office or we'd all be radioactive dust!

thank you for acknowledging me, BUT here is where the truth is being told:

update: three and three quarter million republicans WILL vote for Mr. Obama.

Mc C and HRC = Insanity, well said CB

PUT BUSH ON TRAIL FOR WAR CRIMES, IMPEACHMENT!
RNC PUT CLINTON ON TRAIL FOR SEX. PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES FOR A LIE. TELL ME WHATS THE HONOR IN THAT.

I believe this is just a concrete example and is an accurate account in depicting how bad this president has been in taking care of this country and its people. The apathetic nature of this president, his obvious "out of touch" relationship with the common citizen and their current plight, and his unwillingness to look at their basic needs as well as their future, truly illustrate how short sighted and cordoned off this man is to countries real needs. It shows how much he has gone to fabricate facts and information to promote his own agenda.

If half of the money he wasted on this war (and all his cronies who benefited from it) was used to help the needs of this country, (i.e. poverty, education, infrastructure, environment) the US would be better poised to help other needy countries around the world. This is not even mentioning all the goodwill the US would earn by truly acting as world leaders.

Its a real shame to realize that the actions and inaction of this president will greatly harm the future of my children and their children, mainly because of his lack of humanity, foresight, and simple common sense. Mr. Bush, may your legacy teach future generations that the good of the many truly outweigh the good of the few. The world will suffer because of your mistakes, but hopefully, God willing, new leaders, with foresight and the welfare of the people and true goodness in their hearts, will emerge this November.

Joyce and all the rest of HRC supporters that keep saying that Obama is not electable really? Just think what Hillary will do, she is already lying and breaking rules. Imagine what it will be like when she is behind the closed doors of the White House. Be afraid be very afraid.

YOU KNOW I HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT BUSH,

BUT THIS GUY NO BETTER & IN SOME WAYS WORSE.

WHY DIDN'T HE SAY SOMETHING EARLIER.

JUST A COWARD LOOKING FOR A BUCK.

Duh!

Iraq war ..war based on lies..cheats...

Over 4000 soliders died...
Over 30,000 of them injured....

Made Iran strong....now bullying US.

Made Saudi Kingdom strong.... now they are raising oil prices by trimming out put.....

What a blunder.....This war will go in history as probably ruining American might for ever......

And the cost 1 billion dollars a day... borrowed from communist china....

Here amercians are suffering every day not to mention our military families..

If we invade a country without plans for day after.,their is no way out..
At this stage their is no way out other than talking to Iraqs neighbours and cutting deals,and slowly withdrawing...

Now that the doo is going to hit the fan,dont be surprised they pull the rabbit they used for years out of their hat.They will say they got bin laden.

Congress screwed up and gave Bush the go ahead to go to war. Now I believe they owe it to this country to IMPEACH Bush and Cheney now. For all those who have lost their lives and those who are forever effected by this war that should not have been started. For all of those who would vote for John McCain you had better stop and think about putting someone just like Bush in the White House. OBAMA 08
Connie from Indiana

None of this is a surprise. I have been keeping a close eye on politics in aAmerica for over 20 years and the Bush adminstration is one of the LARGEST GROUP of outright liars we have EVER had in the White House since Watergate.

I AM SO GLAD I NEVER VOTED for this POOR excuse for a President.

I don't think Bush has but a handful of administration still around that came along for the ride in 2000 – that should tell you something! Almost every cabinet member has dropped out, arrested, fired, and/or been replaced.

This just in: The sun rose in the east. Again.

Is this really a shock to anyone at this point? Oh, and stick to the topic people. This has nothing to do with Obama and Clinton... except that she voted for the war.

The headlines should really read: "Another idiot with a book to sell claims he has secrets to reveal to enquiring minds!"

sorry!!! correction: MILLION

I am an independent, but I must give this to Obama, he has always been right about this war, may be the man has a certain level of acceptable jugdment.

Arguing with Fred2 is like arguing with a parrot. He just keeps repeating the same statement regardless what he is commenting on. Polly wants a cracker = Obama can never win in November. I'm sure if someone asked him how the NY Yankees were doing this year he would respond with Obama can't win in November.

It is sad that so many people had to die because of this administration. The blood of every solider who has died or been injured is on this administration's hands. I am happy to know that Obama had the insight to have been against this war. The bottom line is he did not go along with the crowd, nor did he cave into peer pressure like the other "experienced" senators.

Obama 08

Perhaps the best lesson to be taken from this is how when journalists drop the ball and treat politicians with kid gloves, they do a disservice to America – hmmmm – sounds like the reporting on the Obama campaign – the Bush White House painted all opposition as unpatriotic and the media ran with it – the Obama picks up all critcism as racist, divisive or just plain stupid, and the media runs with that – I think this should be a wake up call for CNN in particular – what problems will you help cause in America by your timid treatment of Obama?

update: two and a half republicans WILL vote for Mr. Obama....more news shortly

If there are ANY Obama supporters here. LISTEN UP! There's a group of women organizing to vote against Barack becuase "Hillary" is telling them to do so. Check out Care2.com. One of em' actually said I'll vote for Barack if Hillary says to do! What kind of mindless, ignorant women are they? God help us...YES WE CAN!

BARACK '08

All one had to do was read online the Project for the New American Century web site before the propaganda started and know everything that was being said was just that, propaganda.

TO AJ ABOVE!

TRY SOME DECAF DUDE!

Ok in response to the guy that said "Every politician uses propaganda" and refered to "yes we can" as propaganda:

Did "Yes we can" get over 4000 American soldiers killed you douche??

fred2..since another stole my name. Dude he did have a clue. He had experience remember. He knew how to play politics well. Just like Hillary and McCain,

********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Excellent....here is a statement fraught with obamidiocy.

GWB ran as a uniter who would bring change to Washington, but he was an inexperienced mouthpiece....a lot like a certain senator from Illinois.

GWB had absolutely no experience, just like obama.
He did not know how to play the political game well but was surrounded by people who did, just like obama.

We saw how the Rove machine lied and dirtied the opposition with false labels and nasty vitriolic comments, just like Axelrod and the obama campaign and supporters.

Just because GWB was to the right doesn't make it any better that obama is on the left.....they are a perfect reflection of each other but the kiddies are too "highly educated" to have enough intelligence or common sense to see it.

The Obama supporters are happy today as it seems to support their candidate and his stand on the war. Let us not forget, however, that he did not VOTE against the war...he was not in a position to do that. Hence, he may not have been given the polluted information and may very well have voted for the war if he had been in a position to do so. This election tells me one thing about politicians: they don't do the right thing, they do what they need to do to be reelected. So much for Profiles in Courage!

Those of us who are basically anti-war supported this war as a reaction to 911 as we were told that that was the target. However, we did not go in with the strength necessary to get out quickly. Wars go on and that is a fact. I lost a family member to WW II who was killed at the end of the war. It stays with a family forever.

I am still for Hillary as she has the best experience to handle threats throughout the world. Drinking tea with our enemies is not the way to go.

Hillary 2008/2012><!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy. Here we go again. Another Bush person telling us that he lied and others in his administration told the "untruth"
Clinton lied about his affair and he was impeached. What will it take to impeach Bush?
Wake up Limbaugh, O'Rielly and FOX News. Please tell your viewers the "truth"

Who care this Ali Baba stories. We all know how Bush administration work
After 4 years we will hear the same from next administration also

Really???

Bush and company have been lying?

Tell me something that everyone on the planet does not know already.

Many of the comments here show signs of either extreme prejudice, delusions or even paranoia. Since the book has not even been released it is impossible to belive that many expressing there opinons are in anyway educated on the topic.

The one thing people suffering from these conditions have in common is that they tend to manipulate the facts to support there view. That's what makes them so dangerous. In it's extreme it leads to horrific acts. All one has to do is read a history book to see the countless examples.

For those of you who think that there is some kind of conspiracy, really???"

I think some of us have not suffered the delusion that everything is ok, and that GWB was a good president.
I can remember the 2000 elections clear as day and feeling like it was the end of the world, knowing that he was placed there to continue his father's war. He went into a country, bombed the sh** out of it and the Iraqi citizens pleaded for it to stop. They were no threat to us and we went there to extinguish them. And the world could only stand by and watch. The wiretapping, the "patriot act", freedom fries, zero coverage of the war, was a way to make people tow the line and we've been living in fear of our own brutal dictator for too long.

Remember when he said "You're either with us or you're with the terrorists"? I guess I'm a terrorist for not supporting this invasion.

Look at this from Carolflowery: Truth, I know Bush was fighting for our country, truth, i don think Obama knows how to. He's lied to us day one about denouncing Wright, he has not denounced him in his mind and soul. Have you ever done a google on his family, hell, you can't hardly find anything.

WHAT A MORON.....

YOU KNOW,

IF OBAMA WANTS TO PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS, HE BETTER START GETTING HIS FACTS STRAIGHT!

TRYING TO PANDER TO THE PEOPLE, AND USING THE WRONG NAME?
THIS ONLY PROVES THAT HE IS NOT FIT TO HOLD OFFICE!
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MISTAKES THERE!!!

HE IS A NAIVE FOOL!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

Over 4000 dead, what do you say to those families, BUSH, MCCAIN and CLINTON! Need to appoligize to all AMERICANS for sending them to there death! Bush should be removed from office.

CLINTON OR MC CAIN!!!!

Well we already knew about all this BS. The propaganda never ENDS!!
We need to impeach, NOW!!

So what's new?

Over 4000 dead, what do you say to those families, BUSH, MCCAIN and CLINTON! Need to appoligize to all AMERICANS for sending them to there death! Bush should be removed from office.

Infact it beggers believe to see some die hard Hillary supporters not to even open their mind to ideas.Maccain and Hillary were deceieved by the con President despite their so called many years of experience and Obama can read between lines and see through it.Anyway some people can vote even against their interest in the name of prejudice,what a shame!
OBAMA 08 THE PEOPLES PRESIDENT

Isn't McCain doing the same thing to prolong the war.. spining the propoganda of fear?

THe BUSH administration is a stinking corpse that should be wiped off the map.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh!

Ha, Scott was SHOCKED to find gambling going on in that administration/establishment??? Too bad he didn't stand up back when he could have saved thousands of lives. Is he going to donate proceeds from this book to those families that lost life or health?

This blog confirms, without any doubt, that it is more important for Republicans to defend their party than accept the truth.

Why did Bush say we already won?

How can it be that we already won if McCain is calling a withdrawal surrender? Could that be propaganda, and spin, and have no basis in reality?

Marv – It would seem from reading your venomous post that you have let your emotions override your intellect (if indeed you posses an IQ larger than your hat size.) Can people like you possibly find it within yourselves to have the maturity to have a rational political discussion with those that disagree with you? I have been a Democrat for 30 years and have never supported a Republican candidate for any office. Contrary to what the Obama camp would like the public to believe, I am a Clinton supporter with post graduate degrees and a very good income. I will not support Obama in the fall as I do not believe that he will be good for the nation. If you want to think me an idiot, have at it. I however can articulate my objections to Obama, unlike you slack jawed mental midgets that can only walk around with stars in your eyes babbling on about hope and change and yet support a candidate that has shown no evidence of achieving either. Obama's record is long on rhetoric and short on substance.
I think it’s time you grew up Marv. If you can’t have a cordial political discussion you really need to keep your mouth shut. Your current rant reflects poorly upon you and your candidate.

I suggest a reading of "The Greatest Story Ever Sold"
No reason to line this guys pockets. Everyone already knows
that this is not news but is free advertisement for this clowns
book. And yes the media aided and abetted this administration in their deceptions between 9/11 and 2005.

Noprahbama!!

I a life-long Democrat will vote as every person should with the best interests of my country in mind.

Clinton or McCain.

NEVER a lying arrogant condescending sexist hypocrite racist!!
NEVER an empty suit promising fairy tales to the kool aid kiddies!!
NEVER an inexperienced pandering flip flopper who can't even take a stand on a vote in the senate for fear of offending someone whose support he needs......PRESENT!!

I remember a press conference in which Scott McClellan was forced to defend the Bush administration in the Valerie Plame affair after it started to become clear that there had been a cover-up. McClellan looked like he had been blind-sided. I have never believed anything this administration has said from day one, but all you need to do is read these Political Ticker blogs to see how people - including many of you now criticizing McClellan - can be so in the tank for a political figure that they don't see the often ugly truth. How else do you account for all of the sniping that goes on among supporters of the three candidates, and especially the two Democratic candidates? Their policies are very similar, and the sniping is very seldom about substance.

Maybe this is a lesson we can take from McClellan's revelations - not to let ourselves be blinded by partisanship.

Where is the outcry from the Republicans over this? Oh wait they are wasting their time over Barack's comment about his great uncle. Grow up people! I call my great uncle...uncle Bob, not great uncle Bob. At least Barack's family was doing something honorable in Germany. Take a look at President Bush's grandfather Prescott. Now that is worthy of an outcry. Carl Rove thanks for making me start my day with a good laugh!

Hillary was wrong and went with the political tide.
McCain is still wrong, too old and stubborn to admit it was not a smart war.
Obama was right all the long.

OBAMA 2008

Truth, I know Bush was fighting for our country, truth, i don think Obama knows how to. He's lied to us day one about denouncing Wright, he has not denounced him in his mind and soul. Have you ever done a google on his family, hell, you can't hardly find anything
about anybody past the present that has hardly info. If so many college mates and friends loved him and Michelle so much, where are they, why arent they out on the stump stumping for them. It just seems weird to me

Although I despise Bush and his croonies, which includes McCain, this is just wrong. If this piece of garbage felt so strongly about the lies and crimes being committed by the Whitehouse, why does he wait until now? How could he sleep at night during the whole Katrina debacle? oh I know, he was counting the dollars of his book advance. Shame on this piece of garbage. I hope all players in the Bush admin who knowingly committed crimes will be bought to justice but I seriously doubt that will happen.

The real news is that Ron Paul proceeded to take almost 25% of the Republican vote in Idaho yesterday. Now that is news, and I am sure McCain is feeling pretty bad that he only received 70% of the vote there and he is supposed to be the presumptive nominee. Now thats a laugh right there.

fred, the good one May 28th, 2008 10:05 am ET

one million republicans-if not more-will be voting for Mr. Obama.
====================

You are dreaming....boy what a nightmare!!!

20 million Democrats will be voting against Obama!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I sure hope now folks will understand whyt this administration should be brought up on charges against the STATE!!!

HE AND CHENEY NEED TO BE IMPEACHED ASAP!!!

CRIMINALS!!!

Well go-o-lly! Surpirse, Surprise Surprise!

People choice to slam other people on here when our world , our men and women are right now over there fighting this???and all you have time to do is blast a man with all your bigoted hate . Obama could be JFK and youd spew your hate ..You expect the world to get along when all you look at is the color of a mans skin ,.. I have news for you ,,your no better than anyone were all GODS children ,,Keep your vote but stop your hate because of someones color ..Slavery eneded years ago but it still exsist in your mind ,,whos going to clean that up ..Im a west coast white women and i wasnt aware how bad it still was in AMERICA ..You can slam someone for not wearing a symbal on there chest ,,for a name he was given at birth you dont like ,,but you dont have anything to say about the man that speaks 1 word of truth ..And were trying to tell our neighbors how to treat there neighbors...Cleansing will take place in AMERICA and it starts in each one of our hearts as we examine SELF...........YOUR ALL IN MY PRAYERS GOD ISNT THROUGH WITH US YET

The removal of Saddam was our primary objective. "A grave and growing threat", remember??? But the transformation of the Middle East to ensure an enduring peace in the region is still a goal..., ain't it?? And clearly unattainable without the first objective completed successfully.

War is hell, I wasn't misled. And if you'd pull your kool-aid colored head out of your @ss, you would be either..

THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS THINK THAT BUSH IS CORRUPT?

OBAMA IS SO MUCH MORE CORRUPT THAN BUSH!

HIS SHADY LAND DEALS!
HIS LONG STANDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH SAUDI MONEY LAUNDERER TOM REZKO!
HIS LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH WILLIAM AIRES, TERRORIST FROM THE WEATHER UNDER GROUND! WHO BOMBEDTHE PENTAGON AND OTHER GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS!
HIS PAST DRUG USE!
THE FACT THAT HE DOES NOT SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG!
OH THERE IS MORE!
JUST WAIT THE REPUBLICANS WILL BRING IT ALL OUT!!!!!

HILLARY CLINTON HAS NONE OF THIS SCANDAL!
OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN!
I AM SURE THAT CNN WILL NOT PRINT THIS ONE!!!!

Hey...you obamabots...I am and never have been a Republican...but rather than see another Idiot in the White House...I will vote Republican in November to keep Obama out!! So will millionssss of others.

You all just keep on dreaming that these comments are paid for or that they are by Republicans!!!

Go Hillary...Take it all the way to the convention!!!

We will NOT UNITE behind Obama!!!

The truth is coming out little by little. Next Karl Rove is going to be arrested for deciving the american people. Good for your Mr. Scott McClellan for coming out clean and expose those evil doers.

And the people of the US would have the audacity to vote another Republican in the White House...*tis,tis*

"With eight months left in President Bush's term, scores of senior officials already are heading for the exits, leaving nearly half the administration's top political positions vacant or filled by temporary appointees, federal statistics show."

Gee, wonder why?

McClellan knew he couldn't question these criminals while Press Secretary. He would have been fired for doing so.

Can't wait for Colin Powell's book. He will expose these rats. These criminals will face a courtroom some day.

the same fools who voted for LIAR BUSH will vote for old man McCain or old hag Hillary because they STILL believe what these self-serving idiots say.

Obama keeps talking about the "same old politics by the same old people."

WE NEED CHANGE

Impeach him already...dang!

It's not like anyone wants war. I can't think of any wars that have been started without the use of propaganda.

Bush and Cheney are war criminals. The World Court must prosecute them as the neonazis that they are.

Hillary is just another liar and proved she can't be trusted. The superdelegates all know it. That's why they're for Obama.

Obama won by playing by the rules. She claims the popular vote if Barack gets nothing from Michigan or caucus states that don't report the popular vote. I'll give her 1/2 the delegates for her votes in Florida while Michigan is split 50/50.

Its so funny how this has NOTHING to do with Barack nor Hillary and you all can do is fight about them! What else do the democrats need to unite? You guys are unbelievable!! Its a true testament to the fact that no matter who is in office next year the american people can be swayed by whatever is popular at the time! Sounds familiar? We have people dead over a lie! Thousands of families will be stained forever because of this war of subterfuge and all you guys wanna do is bicker about the possible NOMINEES!! This underscores the fact that yes Bush may have used propaganda but the real problem is...IT WORKED!!! Get your heads out of the sand people!!

Well I guess the fact we find out at all means something. What ever we do from now on put foot to all the ones we find lying to us again. The power of the vote must take hold for real. Vote the ones out of office that don't put the people of the country first and bring back the real government . For the people and by the people.

We all knew right from the inception that oil necessitated the war in
Iraq.If not,why is Bush (McBush) not SO interested in Darfur,Somalia
etc.Expect more books to be WRITTEN by his former LOYALISTS.

DOESN'T THIS KINDA MAKE HIM LOOK STUPID AND LIKE A LIAR?

HE WENT ALONG WITH THE WHOLE THING WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING!

IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SOMETHING THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAS COOKED UP!

JUST LIKE THE SOUTH DAKOTA THING, THAT THEY BLEW OUT OF PROPORTION AND IT BACKFIRED ON THEM!!!!!!

THESE POLITICIANS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR A VOTE!

I JUST HOPE THE RIGHT DEMOCRAT GETS IN, OR WE WILL END UP WITH McAIN!

OBAMA IS STILL BLOCKING OUR VOTES IN FL AND MI BECAUSE HE WILL NOT AGREE TO ANY DEAL!

I TRUST HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!! SHE GETS MY VOTE!!!!

Why hasn't McCain stood up to Bush? Oh yeah, he looks up to the Tyrant.

one million republicans-if not more-will be voting for Mr. Obama.

Why would i even comment on this,its going to the indefinite moderation,I know that you guys would definitely post this one just to prove me wrong,this is my last comment anyway goodbye cnn.

War crime charges are coming as soon as Bush and Cheney are booted out of the White House and can longer protect everyone with their "executive priveledge which by the way cannot be found in the United States Constitution and is something that has been invented by our Federal Courts. Even if executive priveledge is valid, it has been overly abuse by The Bush/Cheney administration to cover up their crimes. They have it coming once this priviledge is no longer available to them for protection.

Wow!!! The repub operatives on this blog are out in full force somehow trying to equate Bush to Obama!!! What a stretch!!!

Obama 08

I think most Americans and people throughout the world are not surprised by McClellan'sstatements. Bush simply is one of the worst Presidents that America has ever elected. The thing that makes it even worse is that Americans elected him for two terms.

I guess Americans cannot be faulted for the 2000 election when Bush effectively stole the Presidency but in 2004 there was a chance to kick him out but America had their collective heads buried in the sand or somewhere else.

Impeech the President & Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfovitz, Rice. All of them responsible for the lives and suffering of MILLIONS of people. The USA is bankrupt, fuel prices skyrocketing and the war drags on and on.

A vote for McCain is a vote to continue this INSANITY!

I just love the fact that Fox News has Rove on as an analyst. Just proves the point that Repbulicans can do no wrong in the eyes of other Republicans. Go figure. Everyone who voted for Bush both times should be real proud of the legacy his administration is going to leave. Worst President in History. Worst Administraion in History. Look at all of the crooks. Second comming of Nixon.

What a sad state of affairs. If only you all knew what really goes on in this world you would all be shocked. This government is simply a puppet like all other governments. I will vote for Obama because I believe in the basic philosophy behind his words despite what I know to be true about this government. Remember that the entire system itself is corrupted, from the false concept of freedom to the worship of money, and one person will not free us from what is our responsiblity to free ourselves from. This is the nature of democracy and we have yet to experience a true democratic revolution in the human race. When we lead ourselves we will know that our government is for the people, by the people and of the people. Someday we will stop looking for a king to save us and start looking at ourselves. GOD IS DEAD....THE EMPEROR HAS NOT CLOTHES!

"Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel"

Duh. Americans knew this was a false war a long time age. Why do you think the republicans have lost so many seats in the house,and the senate. Bush's policies have only help the well connected to him and corporations prosper. It's a shame so many brave American soldiers,and innocent Iraqi civillians had to die for a lie.

Scott McClelland only wrote what
everyone else knew already, that this war and other issues were based on propoganda and lies!!!! Kudos to Scott for being honest!!!
I wonder if anyone remembers the CNN documentary that came out of CNN a few years ago about the Iraq war when it was stated then that their source may as well have been named *lying sack of manure* they had it in their minds to go to war at any cost! Anyone who thinks anyone in this white house does not come out and lie and tell mis truths to cover Bushes foreign policy agenda and others is deluding themselves
They say what the white house tells them to say…plain and simple or they lose their job…
When the American people look at the death toll, vets wounded maimed and burnt do they not wonder how this president stares the american people in the face let alone look in the mirror every day
knowing this war was based on a pack of lies
might be a good time CNN to reshow that documentary!!!!

If Hillary is not on the ballot in Novvember I will be very happy!

Hey Ted the republican....what does your comment have to do with the article..goes to show how stupid republicans can be. You are not a democrat...I am surprised you wouldn't vote for McBush and continue the Bush / Cheny War....

'
'

McClellan (and his ghostwriter) are trying to make a quick buck. He'll get his when other opportunists in the admn. write their books, and shed some light on McClellan's below average performance.

Just remember this: McClellan was the puppet that stood at the podium day after day and actually spoke the lies.

Now he had a new role to play. Lead Judas, 1st of many.

IMPEACH BUSH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

We were deceived about the war in Iraq? This is news? This comes as no surprise to the American people. This is why we are looking forward to election 2008 to rid ourselves of this criminal administration.

Who are the idiots saying Obama would be worst than Bush? It comes to a point where your emotions overrides your intelligent, and at that point you should reframe from speaking or writing until you can run it buy someone who doesn't think with their emotions. People who live, judge and vote from emotions rather than facts and principles, honestly have the minds of high school teenagers who are wrapped up in their own selfish needs.

Grow up America!!!!

As to Bush using propaganda to fool Americans, who's surprised other than those who apply to the first paragraph?

Wow, a rare truth-teller in the Bush camp! I'm sure he's already been marked for memory erase!

and did we need mccelland to tell us that
good lord the whole world knows that

I really appreciate the courage it must have taken for Scott McClellen to come forward with his observations.

I'm also glad he called the media to task for being too lenient. Although I am a Democrat, I believe that regardless of which party has the power the media has a responsibility to dig deeper than anything provided by the administration since they are the public's source of information.

Bush has been using nothing BUT "propaganda" his entire term in office! His dedication isn't to the American people; it is instead to perpetual politics. The amount of spin and deliberate lies this White House gas fed us is rapidly approaching an infinite number. This man has been incapable since day one and has been surrounded by a cadre of inept, self-serving, and wrong-thinking ideologues. This is clearly the worst administration in our entire history, and we must never again allow a privileged rich man's son and good ol' boy to become president!!

IMPEACH!!! HIM NOW

Art you clearly don't have clue. When you find one let us know.

There probably isn't time for impeachment prior to january '08, so as soon as they leave office, Bush and Cheney should be arrested and charged with acts of terrorism, crimes against humanity, international crimes, and be sent to iran for a determination of guilt! Think about it- 9-1-1 cost something over 3000 lives, Bush / Cheney have cost over 4000 military lives, plus tens of thousands of crippled! I notice that McSame has a plan to end the war in 2013, which means he intends to dump it off on his successor after 8 more years of troop sacrifice. Sounds like he is saying "I suffered, so I will make sure they suffer".

You dems out there are really dumb. This blog is about the saga of a corrupt administration and not about Obama. For all I know this guy ran an incredible campaign and some bigots want to enthrone HRC who instead of getting the votes is trying to justify why she is better. Lol

If he truly "defended President Bush's policies through Hurricane Katrina and the early years of the Iraq war", then he is a hypocrite in coming out and critizicing now. Why did he not have the morality to do so when it really counted?

What saddens me is that the majority of the American public failed to see this administration's hamfisted deception with their own eyes four years ago. Now we've paid the price of four more years of disastrous foreign policy.

Let's not make the same mistake again in 2008!!! Say no to McCain/Bush!!!

For those of you that are still thinking of writing Hillary in on the ballot, well you must like being deceived. this is a pure example of what goes on in the white house when people have been there too long. Get a grip on your senses and think about the corruption that goes on there. it is time for a new government and new president.

Sorry, I do not buy the experience argument.

James Buchanan was the most qualified candidate for president yet. He gave us the Civil War. Richard Nixon had years of experience; his legacy: Watergate. George Bush I had extensive experience.

Some of the best had little or no experience: all of the original 4 or 5 presidents when this country was founded. Woodrow Wilson had very little experience. Teddy Roosevelt had very little. Ronald Reagan had his 8 years as governor. And Abraham Lincoln failed at innumerable things before he became President (by the standards raised here, he would never had made it).

Drop the experience argument. It does not hold water.

Many of the comments here show signs of either extreme prejudice, delusions or even paranoia. Since the book has not even been released it is impossible to belive that many expressing there opinons are in anyway educated on the topic.

The one thing people suffering from these conditions have in common is that they tend to manipulate the facts to support there view. That's what makes them so dangerous. In it's extreme it leads to horrific acts. All one has to do is read a history book to see the countless examples.

For those of you who think that there is some kind of conspiracy, really???

The news media that now love Obama, and are now anti-war ,were putting every pro-war advocate on everyday until the war began. They refused to question the whole concept, and called those against the war unpatriotic. I even wrote to Oprah because I was so angry about all her pro-war propaganda.They refused to cover the anti-war rallies where hundreds of thousands showed up. Funny thing is, I was against the war–I didn't give one speech like Obama, instead I wrote to my congresspeople, I marched in DC. Why didn't Obama do these things, ?Instead he hired Tom Daschle as his top advisor, the man that as speaker, strong armed the Democratically controlled congress to vote for the resolution to go to war. Tom even made the morning tv circuit and actuallysaid "they should sign it as a political gesture.

And remember that Hillary C. authorized that war criminal Bush to invade Iraq. She is unfit to be President !

This has been obvious from the beginning to anyone bothering to stay informed. Bad enough Bush got into the White House with a rigged election, worse still that he lied us into a war of profit and choice. Consentual oral sex got Clinton impeached.....why is Congress being SO derelict in its duties? Bush is guilty of both high crimes AND war crimes and has gutted America to its core. Impeach this wicked man AND Cheney!

And this is news... Not that I have not been saying this all along. I have but its good to hear from the from the source or near the source.

Please at least this guy says to the truth better late then never. Now lets's run this group out of office and maybe even bring up some charges on this bunch. Dem's get some Balls when you take over in Nov.

This book only brings to light what the American people aleady knew. We have been lied to. We need a shake up in Washington that only a Democratic President can bring about.

Obama 08

Americans who don't understand yet, will at some point in the future realize that we are in Iraq for the vital interests of the USA and for no other reason. Those Americans who believe that things are wrong because they don't have an understanding of happenings are truly fooling themselves. There are so many eventings that shape the future of the USA that is not printed in the presses or spoken of on CNN. Americans need to trust our government to do what is best for this country and stop being so stupidly cynical about everything.

WAKE UP AMERICA THIS WORLD IS IN DANGER OF BEING DESTROYED AND IF WE DO NOT COME TOGETHER WE ALL WILL NOT BE AROUND TO SEE IT LAST

First of all, "Yes We Can" is a slogan, not propaganda.

The Republicans are questioning McClellan why he didn't speak out when he was Press Secretary? Easy, anyone questioning these mugs were fired or forced to quit, like Scott.

Bush wants "yes" men & women in his administration. Don't worry. It's inevitable the truth will keep coming out. I can't wait for Colin Powell's book. That will shed light on all these criminals.

HILLARY REMINDS ME OF BUSH STUBBORN AND BULL HEADED
HILLARY=BUSH THIRED TERM

Finallydecided at 9:27, Woodward is not a Dem operative. o why, praytell, aer you also telling the truth on this blog? Do you really want us to know that McLellan isn't the only Republican who has alleged that the war was made up on false info and ws pushed through a strong propoganda campaing? What are you trying to do with that type of information? Get people enlightened?
okay, for those who don't get this, sarcasm.
Wow, I'd forgotten about Woodward when he got the up close and personal scoop from President Bush himself. So, yep. I'm one to believe that good ole Scotty is reinforcing what a lot of people felt. Which is why 71% of America does not believe in this war now.

And, to Art, at 9:32, Come on, what's up with that brah? You too must have no children or family members who can enlist because it seems that this Iraq war going to end soon. And Iran may be next.

Ted, 9:34, so you want HIllary or McCain to start bombing on Feb 1, 2009, right? Don't you already have high enough gas prices to keep you from driving off a cliff? You bomb Iran and prices will be $10/gallon.
People, we can't keep bombing everyone. While we have the military might to do it, we are just making a mess of places that in the end comes back to hurt us economically, while the Chines hold A LOT of our debt. Le'ts hope they don't come calling anytime soon.

Would that be enough to start an investigation and impeach Bush?
I feel that 6 months is a long time to have this president in office. He should go now!

We all knew it was propaganda from the jump. Who DIDN'T know that Bush was lying like a Chinese rug when he said our enemy is Iraq? Just answer that one and you'll see there's millions of others who answer the same way with you.

For those of you Dems who claim to be voting for McCain over Obama in Novermber, I have just two words to help you give your heads a shake:

SUPREME COURT

Do you really want your pettiness to allow the reich wing to take over the Court for the next thirty years?

Didn't this guy came out months ago previewing his book? Strange how he decided to say all of these things now that bush-bashing has become such a trend but kept his mouth shut when it really counts. A convient opportunist who is willing lie for money............is that really rare these days in politics?

This is why we (meaning those of us who voted for him) should have realized all we were doing was electing his father to a 2nd and 3rd term. All the same group of guys, all from the same Neocon school of thought. They're all in it for the money and don't give a (bleep) about the negative effects of their actions on the nation.

Dubya is and always has been a puppet of his father and his cronies. It is time for the entire group to be investigated and, if appropriate, tried for Treason.

If the DNC change the rules for Hillary many American will lose respect for the party. Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000, GWB won the electoral college.The electoral college is how we select our president,that'S why we got Bush. The rules were not changed then and should not be changed now at least in the middle of the primary. The delagate count is how we select our nominee, If it was the other way around Hillary and Bill would not be wanting the rules changed, How can the DNC DISENFRANCHISE the caucus states who voted when they were supposed to and count to states that didn't to throw the nomination the Hillary IT IS JUST DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!

Yea Scott.I knew he couldnt stand lying to the press.We are just starting to see all the lies Cheney and Rove spread.Leg irons are waiting.

No surprise here. By now, everyone with two brain cells to rub together knows the Iraq war was predicated on lies and concealed interests.

"Propaganda" is a value-free term. Influencing opinion is often a necessity. It's the end to which it's used that determines its morality.

Funny thing is, BO supporters will be the next echelon of flag-waving patriots once Their Man gets into office and starts His War. And it doesn't have to be a hot war. Think new Cold War.

McClellan is being a good trooper in a back-handed way. The core of his message is that GWB is not to blame, but rather his top advisors. There "will be blood" to be had-by Democrates should they when the White House-when the investigations in how the Bush administration ran the country and made some decisions whether this book or some other "facts" came to public light.

By firing this first shot over the bow, McClellan is shifting blame way from Bush. He's actually playing the same propaganda game that he accuses the Bush administration of playing.

"Yes We Can" Past time for a change.
This is old news and it is time to move on.
OBAMA for President.

Ted...that means you won't be able to vote for your real party (Rep). Ted Ted Ted Ted only only little kids get mad and take their balls home when no one let them play. Oh, thats right Ted you have no balls

WHATS NEW ABOUT OUR POLITICS FOR THE BEGINNIG OF TIME TILL NOW OUR POLITICIANS HAVE BEEN MISLEADING ALL OF US SAYING THEY GOING TO DO THIS AND THAT FOR US AND WHEN THEY GET INTO POWER THEY FORGET ABOUT US. I THOUGHT THAT DEMOCRACY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE NATION AND NOT THESE SEPARATE ENTITIES. THIS COUNTRY INVENTED PROPAGANDA AND WHEN OUR POLITICIANS DECIDED TO GO TO WAR OR KEEP US DOWN THE USE IT AS A TOOL. GOERGE BUSH IS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME WHAT ABOUT THE PRESIDENTS BEFORE HIM LIKE BILL CLINTON HE NEW ABOUT AL-QAEDA BEFORE HE LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE AND DID NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT. BECUSE HE WAS TO BUSY CHEATING ON HILLERY

Bush clan shold be send to the mood with no way to return....oh, I forgot about McCain and Clinton.....you can add them too.

Your politicians are liars, too? No way!

some Clinton supporeters are prepared to vote McCain just becos their candidate is not the Nominee.
I am Indian American, and I would not even dream of voting for Bobby Jindal even though he is of Indian origin. Guess some people (Mostly HRC supporters) are more interested in their candidate , and dont care about the country going to dogs under McShame

Obama 08

It takes real courage to come out against someone you've been tight with as long as he was with George W. Bull.

Takes a lot of guts. Now he's gonna need those guts to stand tall in the face of the Bush Gestapo.

The Republican party, in my opinion, has really lost its' footing and sense of reality. Everything is about war. They can't do anything without talking about war. WAR, WAR, WAR and more WAR. Do they include anything else in their agendas besides maybe the nice places they vacation and the properties they own. How can we continue to tolerate such a pessimistic, doomsayer attitude? If it's not the cold war, it's the war on Iraq. If its not the Iraq war it will be another, at this rate.

Hey Ted, over 4,000 people lost their lives because of Bush lies and all you can say is you are writing Hillary in. the ballot in November. SHE VOTED FOR THE WAR YOU IDIOT!

BUSH USED PROPAGANDA TO GO TO WAR AND STILL USES PROPAGANDA IN AN ATTEMPT TO GO TO WAR WITH IRAN, THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T WANT ANYBODY TALKING TO IRAN. BUSH ALWAYS SAID OUR MILITARY WAS FIGHTING "STREET THUGS" IN IRAQ, SINCE WHEN DID OUR MIGHTY MILITARY GO INTO BATTLE AGAINST "STREET THUGS". WE DON'T USE THE MILITARY IN THE U.S. TO FIGHT "STREET THUGS". BUSH SHOULD BE TRIED FOR KILLING ALMOST 5,000 U.S. SOLDIERS AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT IRAQIS.

Libby, you should be ashamed of yorself for chastising McClellan for telling the truth. The average American knew then as we know now that this war was waged on lies. Scott is corroborating common knowledge and will be a good prosecution witness. He will plea bargain and you know the rest. The American people can't wait for justice

ROFL – this is hillarious – just wait till Bush leaves office- everyone will come out and say what a crook and liar he is – Worst president ever, no question.

Are you sure our great president use propaganda? Noooo, that cannot be....He would never do such a thing.

Mr. McClellan, you missed your chance to speak up. You should have done so while working in the administration whose propaganda you helped spread to the medaia and public. Colin Powell I suspect left the administration for the same reasons he couldn't take the lies anymore. Your former bosses lies have lead to 4500 plus American dead. I wonder how large Mr. McCain's section of Arlington will be?

Propaganda???bush is a lier and a racist

Scott,
The words yes, we can is not even close to making up for the 4,000 plus lives of our soldiers in a senseless war created by this President and his administration!. They don't even compare.

Uncle Sam....nice try buddy. The war was a mistake period. No way to sugar coat it. People aren't going to buy your load of goods this time around.

None of this is a surprise.

The sad part is that not only did this "Press Secretary" put a veneer of "truth" around Bush's lies to Americans who WANT to believe that their president is NOT a ... um... schmuck, but he's not the only one.

Whose book will be next? How many more lives and dollars will we allow them to spend so they can profit from their own "Tell Alls" next year?

Joyce in Florida... With a Democrat controlled Congress one would certainly think Bush should have been impeached?
Have you ever considered there is NOTHING to impeach him for? Probably not. More Liberal press spin that you buy into I guess.
The Democrat Congress blames the Republicans for everything and people like you who are not satisfied with government will no doubt vote for more Democrat Congresspeople. Get a grip and think for yourself. Try it! just to see if there are any rational brain cells in there.

In the past few days, her surrogates, and even Clinton herself, have ramped up the talk about sexism. There is little doubt that she is trying to stir the ire of her female base and push them to demand that she either be the nominee or be given the vice president slot. But it's really about the former rather than the latter.

In Florida on Wednesday, she invoked slavery and the epic civil rights battle against Jim Crow in her quest to count the vote in Florida as-is.

Forget the fact that she once said the states wouldn't matter because they broke the rules.

Forget the fact that many of her supporters on the Democratic National Committee's rules committee supported the stripping of delegates in Michigan and Florida.

And forget the fact that her chief supporter in Michigan, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, signed the bill into law that allowed the state to move up its primary.

Clinton and her supporters now discount all of that and act as if they were always champions of the "disenfranchised" voters in Florida and Michigan. But they weren't. And the record is clear. Only when it became apparent that she needed the states' delegates to close the gap with Obama did she change her tune. She said one thing in Iowa and New Hampshire and now is saying something else.

The Clintonites don't want any compromises in Michigan and Florida. They want the results to stay the same, even though Obama's name wasn't on the ballot in Michigan and all candidates signed an agreement not to campaign in those two states.

Bush is a liar. Hillary is a liar.
2 of a kind

This is something we all knew, atleast I did from day one. I never understood how we went from Osama Bin Laden to Saddam Hussein overnight. Then I remembered Iraq had oil, and plenty of it and it all became clear. Bush didn't care a smit about 911. And you jokers want to elect his right hand man McWar? Shame on you.

It is SICKENING to me that 30% of the country still support the president, his policies and his war.

It is SICKENING to realize that three of ever ten people around you are that ignorant and ill-informed as to what happens within their own government.

Scott McClelland only wrote what
everyone else knew already, that this war and other issues were based on propoganda and lies!!!! Kudos to Scott for being honest!!!
I wonder if anyone remembers the CNN documentary that came out of CNN a few years ago about the Iraq war when it was stated then that their source may as well have been named *lying sack of manure* they had it in their minds to go to war at any cost! Anyone who thinks anyone in this white house does not come out and lie and tell mis truths to cover Bushes foreign policy agenda and others is deluding themselves
They say what the white house tells them to say...plain and simple or they lose their job...
When the American people look at the death toll, vets wounded maimed and burnt do they not wonder how this president stares the american people in the face let alone look in the mirror every day
knowing this war was based on a pack of lies
might be a good time CNN to reshow that documentary!!!!

The entire world knows a long time ago... Who doesn't....

Sleazy, Sleazy, Sleazy...

The WHOLE BUSH clan are nothing but "ghetto gang-bangesr". These goonies went around and penalized/fired everyone who voiced any level of concerns (except of THUG MAN KARL ROWE) , then they turn around and SPIN, SPIN, SPIN....

AND to think Sen.McCain is promoting his relationship with BUSHMAN. How convenient is that? I mean, can you say "shooting myself in the foot"? Next thing we know Karl the "Thug Man" Rowe will be McCain's Senior staffer~!! ha! ha! I mean hasn't Karl Rowe been acting and talking like he's working for Sen. McCain? I mean this idiot should be buried under the jail house and yet he's touting his republican ignorance at Congress every chance he gets. Somebody please put this fool out of his misery, shut him the hell up FAST!!

McCain is soooooo dead meat come November. THIS is going to be soooo good to watch. I love it.

I know the Obama camp has bought a copy of this book and is doing some major "review" of everything written in it. BIG MISTAKE for Sen. McCain. I hope his wife Cindy bought him a respirator, because I think his blood pressure is going to go through he roof come November!

Rep. Karl Rove used Clinton to divide the Dem party, and Clinton agreed by stirring up the hate in FL. Let's pray for Saturday, Clinton and Karl Rove both wanted to see some bloodbath, let's hope no one get hurt.

To usa-PRO CLINTON???? Where did that come from??? Did you just pull it out of your butt? You must have female issues...

"Mc Clellan was the worst Press Sec'ty, and is trying to get back at the President and his administration by writing this cut throat book!
What a disgrace and lack of character to try to smear our President, while still in office.
Give us a break, anyone with intelligence knows this guy Mc Clellan, was a misfit and would be in any adminstration."
======================================
Libby, you should be ashamed of yorself for chastising McClellan for telling the truth. The average American knew then as we know now that this war was waged on lies. Scott is corroborating common knowledge and will be a good prosecution witness. He will plea bargain and you know the rest. The American people can't wait for justice.

YES!

This is one of many who will step forward with truth!

This is going to be another gift for Obama!

Thank you sir!

Go Bam!

Scott, Wichita – "Every politician uses propaganda…ever heard the phrase "yes, we can"? perfect example"

hahahahahahahah...wooooow.

This is what its come to for you pitiful Republicans? Comparing a message of hope to LIES set forth that resulted in the deaths of 4500 soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis?

McCain thinking people.

Do the right thing and vote Obama 08', for the good of your country.

I KNEW IT! Talk about shady American goverment. Time to take the Repubs to the curb.

scott from wichta, and fred2 you guys are idiots. And now you want McCain to continue bushes lame war and economic policies, you speak of experience look how much so called experience, The Dick, Rumsfeld, and others in the bush admin had and look where it got us nowhere fast, We need a new direction, we can not afford another 8 years of this crap, and thats what Mccain is offering.
NO THANKS!!!!!

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Scott McClellan, for validating my "unfounded fears based on feminine intuition and gut instinct" prior to and after the 2000 election of George Bush. While McClellan's book lambasts the Bush administration and Republicans in general, I can see the same scenario occurring with the candidancy of Obama. I only hope that my fears regarding an Obama candidancy will not require validation four years from now because I really don't get any pleasure from saying "I told you so."

Hillary '08 and '12

If Hillary is not on the Ballot in November, I will be writing her in.

Whether you agree with his reasoning for writing the book or not. You have to admit that this is nothing new to the American people. We knew the Bush administration pulled off the greatest show on earth. The Iraq war.

in my daughters words, "Duh" , Millions of people arrond the world protested on the streets to let us know that this was just a propaganda war. Nobody listened to them. We didnt have to wait for a white house insider to tell us, we knew it.

John McInsane and Hillary Clinton backed Bush into going into War.

Mr Obama had the courage to say NO, For that reason and many many many more he deserves to be the President.

Which is why i've switched from a life long Republican to and Obamacan.

REPUBLICANS For OBAMA.

When are the american people going to wake up and demand that Bush be impeached? "Why, the only reason this does not happen is because Cheney would destroy this country in a few short months and no one wants to give him that must power. None of this that Scott McCellan brought out is new we have heard it all from several people.
So why should it be any big surprise. McCellan, was doing his job by lying to us also. Matbe he decided to clear his name by telling the truth.
But is is to late for him to try and save himself now!

So these dummies in office told you whatever they wanted, used your money to make themselves rich. Now you have another dummy telling you whatever you want to hear, and you are willing to follow her so she can make herself richer, and if not then vote for the first dummies that used you. YOU ALL DESERVE WHAT YOU GET. I'm glad I'm rich instead of being angry with the real dummies. Anybody with intelligence knew from the start that everything was a lie. But you all let your emotions get the best of you and look what you've done and now you are willing to do the samething. DUMMIES!

this whole administration has been one disaster and bolony filled fiasco. duh......didn't ya think they would lie about it.

Who cares, bush hurt america, now the same stupid people that put him in want obama. Haven't you fools had enough?

HILLARY 2008

or MCCAIN 2008

Obama, tall dark and slender. Should fit quite well in a Bush !!!

HHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!

Walt... Roll over again. if you think Iran is not a threat you could always move there to help them out! Amademonjunk has said he would wipe Isreal off the face of the earth.
Of course you must believe he is lying or you don't believe this is a threat? Wake up Walt!

Although members of the Republican party, Pres. Bush and Sen. McCain are two very different people. The truth is that Sen. McCain opposed the president's execution of the Iraq War from the start, advocating for a strategy which risked his presidential chances and has proven correct. Had Sen. McCain's proposal been adopted earlier, it is likely that the human and financial costs of the war would have been considerably less.

Americans for McCain '08

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NEVER BEEN ACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE. THE MEDIA THATS RIGHT THE MEDIA, "JUST LIKE THEY ARE SOFTBALL QUESTIONING OBAMA" ARE PARTLY TO BLAME HERE... AFTER 9/11 THE MEDIA LET BUSH HAVE A FREE RIDE. I REMEMBER SITTING IN FRONT OF MY T.V. WONDERING WHY ANYTHING THAT CAME OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS WAS UNTOUCHABLE. EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA WAS AFRAID TO QUESTION BUSH AND HIS CREW FOR FEAR THEY WOULD BE PORTRAYED AS UNPATRIOTIC. LOOK WHERE IT HAS LEAD US! THE SAME APPROACH IS OCCURING WITH SEN OBAMA, AND THAT PETRIFIES ME. UNFORTUNATLY IN THIS SITUATION, HUMAN BEINGS PERISHED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FENCE, WOMAN, INNOCENT CHILDREN, AND OUR POOR MEN AND WOMAN IN OUR ARMED FORCES. PEOPLE ARE DIEING. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABLE.YOU ALL WERE SO OBSESSED WITH B. CLINTON 'S AFFAIR, YOU MADE ME SICK... THE PAST 8 YEARS YOU HAVE STOOD BY AND WATCHED OUR PEOPLE DIE IN THE NAME OF OIL AND AN OBSESSION TO RIGHT BUSH'S FATHERS WRONG. THIS WAS A PERSONEL VANDETTA ON GW PART AND ROVE AND CHENY, AND YOU ALL FELL FOR IT. CNN NBC FOX ALL THE NETWORKS ALL HAVE A RESPONSIBILTY IN NOT REPORTING THE NEWS... JUST SPINNING IT, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SICK OF IT.

The same propaganda that is being used to push the Iran war.
Bush may be a good man, but he has surrounded himself with vile, blood thirsty advisers who do not have the US of A's best interest in mind. Examples- Wolfowitz, Libby Libowitz, Perle, etc.

"This is not the End. This is not even the Beginning of the End. This is just the first step" (Winston Churchill).

The White House should send some decorators over the The Hague to get some cells prepared for QUITE a few of the people in the Bush Administration.

I am man of the world, but even i couldn't have IMAGINED that someone like HIM would ever be the the most powerful man on earth. Thank God the Cold War was over when he took office or we'd all be radioactive dust!

Hey Scott, Wichita can you please learn what propaganda means before you claim some one uses it. Once again proving why blogs are worthless. Everyone, even those who are not educated enough to offer an intelligent responce, is entitled to voice their opinion!

Democracy doesn't work because of people like you!

To JC
you are an idiot. this has nothing to do with Obama. Are you obsessed with him?

the story is about scott and the corrupt current administraton that is still overseeing this illegal war that they have our hardworking young troops fighting.

it's about all the people that were injured and killed because of total idiots and complete incompetence.

When will the impeachment hearings begin?

they need to drag bush, rice, cheney, rove and yes, scott to the middle of the street and have them tortured and killed just like the innocent people that died because of their proproganda.

Bush has done nothing but lie, mislead, and deceive the American people since the day he took office. He promised us all that he would restore honesty, dignity, and integrity to the White House. Nothing has been further from the truth. He is profoundly incompetent and history will judge him to be the very worst President the United States has ever had.

a comment to George (second entry on this list). Wow!! This is the first time in a very long time that some one has bother to to mention Iraqi losses as well as American. Good on you, George.

One of the tings that strikes me about this ficyion that Bush and his minions perpetrated on the world is that, on 911 approximately 3000 innocent individuals lost their lives. Since this war began, more than 4000 ov you brave citizens have ben killed adn, according to various estimates, anywhere between 50,000 and 1 million innocent Iraqis have died. I am very hard pressed to understand how the lives of the survivors of all of these people (US and Iraqi alike) are better off now the Hussein is out of the picture.

If this does not quallify as a war crime – crime againt humanity- what does??!!!!

This should sell the books.....go figure!

Isn't it interesting how these political figures make millions from their tell all books...Hillary, Bill, Obama, on and on. What would happen if a condition of employment would prevent them profiting from public information?

HOW DARE he tell the truth!

Bob Woodward said it before and continues to say that Bush Misleds and Misleads On Iraq and has not been honest about the level of violence in Iraq.
Michael Moore became a Repub carricature because he dare unveil Bush lies.
Scott McClellan now is now out of the closet.
Read my lips! Carl Rove is next and the Repub cult will disintegrate and free the American people who deserve more dignity and respect .

Fred2 said: "That is why Obama can never be elected…he would be worse than Bush!!"

Fred2 is an !diot.

They're all a bunch of liars who are into war profiteering. Get real. How dumbed down do you think the american public is? Gimme a break!

I count 3 out of the first 20 posts somehow turning this on Obama?

This site is packed with paid political operatives... professionals can only make that stretch, even though they do it ineffectively.

For those saying Bush had no experience and thats why Obama scares them need to study recent history. Bush did have executive experience, and the pushers of this policy (Cheaney, Rumsfled, Wolfowitz) were the most experienced guys around.

This is about poor judgement, nepotism, and huge ego (not to mention a careless attitude)

I have every reason to belive this guy! I just hope that the millions of American fools who put Dubbya in a first or second term have the intelligence to believe him as well. It seems that anyone who shines light on the deficiencies, shortcomings, and outright failures of the Dubbya administration is turned into an unpatriotic, radical idiot. This guy was a principal figure in the Dubbya administration, now, because he wants to speak the truth, he is incompetent. More power to Mr. McClellan! The Lord only loves the truth...and you sir, are definitely showing your stones and being honest about how much Dubbya could care less about real American people and real American issues.

OK, and your point is, did you think we the voters didn't know this CNN?

""Experince""=====Bush, Clintons,McCain,Liars.

i go with the one who has less of washington in him.

my choice Obama.

god bless.

Propaganda???? How about LIES... let's use the correct word here.

Bush is a war criminal.

It's nice to have confirmed what we have known for the past 5 years. Why doesn't the democratic congress start impeachment? Because they are cowards and that is why the congress has so low poll numbers. Pelosi and Reid are jokes as the party leaders in congress and Howard Dean has been a nightmare as DNC chairman. Combine those failures with Obama's grab for power and all I can say is, I hope McCain drops Bush's policies when he gets elected and all this crap he is spouting now is just to keep the right wing of his party happy.

Is this anything that we didn't know? The American people should know thay were duped into supporting this war. That's one reason Colin Powell resigned, because he had been used, by presenting manipulated intelligence. Scott McClellan probably is coming clean now, because he is afraid that Bush and his cronies might be indicted for some of the crimes they have committed, and he wants immunity.

So America sits aghast at the revelation? Give us a break- we already KNOW Bush, et. al. are a bunch of bumbling liars. We also know that no brush of accountability will touch them. Business as usual in the WH.

Debbie,NJ May 28th, 2008 9:10 am ET

fred2..since another stole my name. Dude he did have a clue. He had experience remember. He knew how to play politics well. Just like Hillary and McCain,
=======================

No...Bush was, and is more like Obama!!

We will not Unite behind Obama....Obama would be WORSE than Bush!!

Mc Clellan was the worst Press Sec'ty, and is trying to get back at the President and his administration by writing this cut throat book!
What a disgrace and lack of character to try to smear our President, while still in office.
This will give the lefties, expecially MSNBC, who, already are salvating over this tripe. Russet was already, saying this will
hurt McCain about the war. Give us a break, anyone with intelligence knows this guy Mc Clellan, was a misfit and would be in any adminstration.

CNN – Most rational, thinking Americans have known all of this since 2001. Why are you clowns just catching on?

Insider's information is supporting the outsider's allegations. From the start, all the people know the Iraqi invasion is based on lies. Who is benefitting from this war any way?

GUN merchants and Oil companies, I hope make profit at the expense of innocent lives. McCain want this murderous episode to continue for another 100 years.

US, once known as a generous nation and now, after Reagan years, US is hated by many people all over the world. Sad indeed.

CNN=================>> pro Clintons.

every article i see on your site/tv is pro Clintons.

you are worst than fox news now.

Either McClellan was dumb during his job (and now tells truth) or is dumb now (but formerly told truth). Eitherway, this shows the degree to which the Bush Administration is chock-full of dullards. It's a reminder of numerous other White House twits, like Alberto Gonzales, Monica Goodling, and Harriet Miers.

Obama knew this back in 2002. Barry knows everything! He will become King of the World by 2010. Hope he picks someone who can effectively run the USA while he campaigns for King starting after inauguaration.

Why does this surprise anyone? I am so releived that I can say I told you so. Thats how I feel about Obama also, it scares me that Obama has less experience than Bush. This adminstration should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! AND YOU PEOPLE VOTING FOR OBAMA better realize if McCain gets in, they will all be pardoned! You need to vote for Hilary. Obama 's baggage is starting to manifest now and I suspect by Nov we will have alot of reasons why not to vote for him. Hilary would never pardon this crew...

I am still not believing that people didn't see this corrupt administration coming with a puppet at the helm.

I'm sure we'll soon find out that this "traitor" turns out to now be an Obama supporter. Seems there is a conspiricy for everyone to gang up on anyone but Obama. Whoever runs lets "bad mouth" them and tell lies about them and all the media will publish everything we pay them to publish and say all good things and cover up everything for Obama (god). Right! I will never vote for Obama now that the media and the super deligates have proven a conspiricy against Hillary and now Mccain. I will never vote for Obama, never!!

Congress will launch investigations no matter who the next president is and many in the Bush administration will go to jail. Bus/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice should all be tried for crimes against humanity and either excuted or sent to prison for life...and that is only th tip of the iceberg.

The American people knew it was lies but Scott didn't? C'mon!

McClellan is not telling the truth! He stood by the president at that time, and now he simply claims what ever has been said is a lie? Does it make him a liar too? I believe McClellan is doing nothing but promoting his book and make some money out of it!

Give me a Break!

Althougn Bush.Cheney/Rumsfeld and so many others in the Bush administration, McClellan included, are blood-thirsty, war mongering, lying, cheating, frauds, McClellan is far from a victim here.

Fact is he lied, covered-up, and pushed Bush's agenda and lies through with both hands knowing full well that he was lying and now wants everyone to believe he was deceived and not given accurate information.

B.S.! McClellan was a willing participant from the day he becamse Bush's mouthpiece and did not have the morals, decency, courage or sense to walk away and tell the truth. Typical republican! Scott not only drank the Kool-Aid, but asked for a refill.

The ONLY reason McClellan is speaking out now is crystal clear to anyone with an ounce of common sense. THE MAN HAS A BOOK TO SELL! You're don't fool anyone any longer Scott, although I'm sure you will make a tidy profit off of the fools who will buy your book.

Better keep that Kool-Aid flowing Scotty Boy!

Another rat jumps ship – Scott had to know that the Bush line was BS at the time of his pronouncements. Most of the rest of us certainly did.

How is this news, CNN? 95% of the American people have known this for the past 6 1/2 years. Unbelievable.

When can we get this guy out of the White house? I hope he pays for the 4300 soldiers.

Here are my thoughts.....

First let me state that I have the utmost respect for Gen. Collin Powell, however when he was in Bush's cabinet, his oposition to Bush would have been greater respected and had a true impact on history had he spoken out or resigned at the time of the events. The lies and propaganda by the Bush/Chenney/Rumsfeld/Rove/Libby era of deceit has ruined many lives and the reputation of our nation.

Similarly, Scott McClellan should have spoken out at the time.

The problem is that people are not standing out at the time of injustice, but are sitting back and letting history or should I say bad judgement and gross errors take place before they speak out.

Think of how may lives have been lost, how many injuries have ocurred, how many people from Katrina are without homes and lives have been changed.

We need men and women in these key roles to either speak out or resign at the time of the events... this is what carries weight.

Anyone can write a book or do an interview with hindsight after the gross errors have been made and out in the open.

I say the next person to write a "tell all book' will be C.Rice in 2010.

But..... Better late than never.

And McCain want to continue these policies of propaganda. Lie, cheat steal (and BORROW our children's money) is the GOP way.

ah huh! I was waiting on CNN to post this story. Bunch of liars, the whole administration is. Why now? Why talk and right a book now but you held back before? You should be jailed, liar!

Bush and his whole administration should be locked up. Just think, if this guy lied, to cover up for Bush, there are plenty of others that have untold secrets...LIARRRSSSS!!!!!

Nobody can be worse than McBush. Talk about trivialising the lives of women, children and our men in uniforms.

He telling the truth, WAO!!! Basically most of these goons are trying to re-write history.

Still I have no respect for somebody that for so many years stood on the podium there and lied, lied, lied for the president, the vice prosident and the rest of the senior WH staff. In the other hand we deserve the most honest truth we can get!!!

fred2..since another stole my name. Dude he did have a clue. He had experience remember. He knew how to play politics well. Just like Hillary and McCain,

Good for you Scott McClellan. We are know that our current President has lied and deceived us for 8 years. I still cannot believe that this man has not been impeached. What is taking so long? Something really stinks here. HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT. GO HILLARY 08!!!

SHOCKING!!!!!

Our president, decieved! Hey Rumi, looks like others carried on your torch for you.

All you people who voted for Bush: Isn't it comforting to know your C-average president can be so easily mislead by SO many people around him.

Scott, Wichita. I don't think you can compare a phrase to propaganda that got over 4000 of our troops killed. Grow up.

It is good that Scott McClellan is finally coming out with the truth that so many have been, at the very least speculating, for years. His denial for his part in the debacle shouldn’t be surprising. His job at the white house was to spin the truth to make the administration look clean and sparkly. Now he is using his skills for his own reputation.

Dud...we didn't know this already!! This is what you get when you put someone in the White House that doesn't have a clue!!

That is why Obama can never be elected...he would be worse than Bush!!

Is anyone surprised? And the same people are trying to convince you that Iran is as great a threat as Iraq was... Wake up America!!

And, do not judge him for not speaking out during his white house tenure, there are certain rules against what you can and cannot say while you hold certain government positions. And, there is such a thing as misguided loyalty.

So, go ahead and vote for Mr."I won't meet with leaders of enemy states." Or, Ms"I will obliterate the entire country."

Wake up America!

The chickens have come home to roost....ha, ha, ha....we are not surprised, we knew this war was a propoganda from the get go! Just like Olberman said, McBush invaded Iraq, just to invade Iraq!
Down with the warmonger McBushes!!

Obama '08

Is this a surprise to anyone?

This man has the courage to stand up to the press. I hope what motivated him was the American people and their right to know what really happened in our White House.
