There have been many books written in America regarding the corruption in American politics. When I attended college, I decided that Political Science would be be my major. After a couple of internships at a couple of government agencies, I quickly changed my mind. Politics is a nasty business and I don't have the stomach for it. However, someone has to do it. We can only hope that the persons that we vote into office for President will be sincere and do some of the things that will benefit America. This is why we should think first of what is in the best interest of America. America as a nation is not focused on the many issues that we as a nation face; we go from one piece of trash to another. McCellan came out with his book too late. I do not believe that he is suddenly acting out of remorse and the fact that he did not know what was going on, rather the fact is that he will get away with going along with the Bush administration and sign a book deal to boot. We as American's will buy his book and make him rich, because Americans like mess. This is evidenced by the fact that the Republicans were voted in office and stayed in office for so many years. Many will vote republican in the coming election. The issues are: poor expensive health care, the failing economy, social services, mental health issues, and the war that is killing so many of our young people; this is just to name a few. We should be so focused on these issues at this time, that nothing should be important until these issues are addressed and solved. How will this book affect us and our families. This book is not news to many Americans, just another Author's views. Lets get together and vote on the issues and stay focused. Whoever you vote for, get out there and do it! I think that Senator Clinton is the strongest candidate. We need someone to advocate for America's problems and who has experience doing it. Experience is very crucial for a President. We do not need a President in training at this time.

By all means, testify. But remember, what goes around comes around. Unless the Democrats are going to set up their incarnation of the Soviet Union or National Socialist Germany, there is the possibility that people will tire of being preached to by wealthy Liberals and forced to comply with the dictates of the hordes of unaccountable bureaucrats that the Democrats wish to impose on us, and the Republicans back in power.

The Democrats are of the opinion that the only Republicans there are are the go-along-get-along crowd that they currently face. If the Republicans continue being Democrat-Lite the Democrats can be sure of maintaining power. But, if the Republicans reinvent themselves as a Conservative-Libertarian party, they will walk over the authoritarian Democrats.

But in the short run, the Democrats and Liberals have been quite vocal on what they see as the failings of GWB, they have written and spoken on it incessantly. It is very likely that the next President will be a Democrat. As it stands right now, probably Obama. We must all make sure that the next President, be it Obama or Hillary, is held to the same standards that they have been pillorying GWB for not meeting.

Not only that, they must do so and win. Either failing to meet their own standards or failing to achieve their stated goals should be sufficient for robust criticism.

About 50% of the country considers themselves conservative leaning toward libertarianism. Those people should expect for their voices to be heard under a Democrat administration. There should be no suppression of dissent, no spying on people because of their politics, no secret deals, no favorable treatment for supporters at the expense of everyone else. The list goes on.

All those things are actions that GWB has been accused of, though actual proof has been wanting. Obama or Hillary will have to make sure that none of the things laid at GWBs feed occur on their watch .

Else they find themselves in front of a hostile congress being asked to explain.

Is Mr. McClellan lying or telling the truth?
My suspicion is that this man is telling the truth; he is actually confirming what American people suspected that president Bush mislead the public to wage the unnecessary Iraqi war. An act of courage for senator McCain should be, I believe, for him to look into the eyes of the American people and spell it out that he has dissociated himself from President Bush’s lies and failed policies including the war in Iraq. If senator McCain does not do that, then those who believe that Senator McCain is seeking president Bush’s third term may not be far from the truth.

Please testify so these crooks can be sent to jail!

"Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Friday he would be willing to comply with a rumored congressional subpoena to discuss the administration’s handling of pre-war intelligence, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer he’d be 'glad to share my views' if asked to testify."

How in the world did that become…

"McClellan: 'I'd be glad' to testify about Bush White House"?

I guess you just wanted an exciting headline to stir up the pot, grab some readers.

Because let's be honest , whoever wrote this aritcle (Ms. Sinderbrand?) intentionally (or so I hope; otherwise, it's just shoddy misleading writing) attempted to change the circumstances of the statement in order to create unwarranted controversy.

Which I suppose is par for the course these days. Perhaps journalistic integrity is not that important.

It's headlines like these and the pointless, inflammatory articles that follow them that make people not trust news companies.

Please CNN, report the facts, "copy and paste" reporting is for the fair and balanced, and has no place in a legitimate news organization.

Which I hope you still are.

WITH A 60-75% FAILURE RATING OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION WHAT MORE HARM CAN IT DO…THANKS FOR BRINGING THIS TO LIGHT. BUSH IS TRYING TO GO OUT WITH A BANG ANYWAY. FOR ALL YOU HATERS, THE TRUTH HURTS.

How encouraging to see one of the "true believers" come to his senses and come to understand and speak the truth. Only 26% to go.

This man has SOLD his SOUL to the Democratic party for a few cubits, just like Judas sold out Jesus.

OOOOOOH!

You know the GOP doesn't want that.

It is only natural for the Bush White House to attack Mr. McClellan, since they are blinded by their own incompetence and inability to be truly honest with the American people. Many may ask why McClellan didn't speak up earlier, but time will make that argument a mute point. He is has spoken and his words are nothing short of "speaking truth to power."

Dole hasn't read the book but has plenty to say about it? And as for Bush being puzzled, that was quickly resolved when someone pointed out that he was holding the book upside down.

i support mclellan 100% and i think we all knew tht bush was up to no good along with his "buddies in congress" thts why he and mccain had that"secret meeting" and wow, raised a bunch of $$s,, and guess who it will go to ,, mccain<<< what a jerk,, especailly when he said ON TV< that he would NEVER leave the war,, never<?? he should be impeached,,,,,,, others have been for less ,,, GO OBAMA!!!!08

I was not surprised by the response by certain people in the media;over Mc Clellan and his contraversial book. He has in some circles been asked to apologize, and has been labeled Judas. The Judas is our government and mainstream media for sending our troops to sacrifice body, mind body and soul for lies. They are the ones who need to apologize the the citizens and especially the troops. Scott McClellan should be applauded for having the courage; and for having ethics and principles. Maybe he can be an example to the administration and our gutless congress.

You can never fool all the people all the time.

Someone will always have the backbone to stand up.

America salute you!!!

Just one question: How much money does McClellan stand to earn from his book?–maybe, just maybe someone should look into his claims and not just take them for face value. He clearly betrayed the trust of Pres. Bush, how can we the people trust him to not do the same to us??? Some people will do anything for money and McClellan may be one of those people.

What a loser. He was the frontman for Bush's lies and now that he can't wash the blood out from underneath his fingernails he claims to be Mr. Clean … puke.

you suck

It amazes me their is so much bitterness towards the stool pigeon as a Judas but none for Bush and company for betraying their oaths and commitments to the nation.

Hey folks Bush and the whole neocon(artist) gang have played to role of Judas to our entire country.

I'm sure the same idiots who treat this ex-press secretary as the new source of truth don't remember when they called him a puppet back during his time behind the microphone. OH and I loved the numbskull who posted here about this leading to President Bush's impeachment. The sooner people like you get off that tack and realize that's never going to happen, the happier you'll be. Go back to sucking the helium out of balloons and laughing at yourselves as you're all so apt to do.

The verdict is out for me until I see if congress has the you know what to take this administration down.

Kennedy and Kerry should both be pledged to Hillary, she carried their state yet they support Obama? What about the will of the voters in their state? More hate from an Obama mentor? How much more will people tolerate? Obama is exactly like his mentors, yet must pretend otherwise. He will continue to draw criticisim for his beliefs. I'm not buying anymore lies from this man. Of course I never bought into his lies in the first place. We can only pray the superdelegates realize the damage his church will cause in the General Election. I will write in Hillary Clinton on my ballot in November. We can not have a racist for President or a racist first lady, not this day and time.. Obama continues to divide this country along racial lines. He has set racial relations back a hundred years.

Bob Dole (and some media tallking heads) wants to know why McClellan didn't "speak up" if he disagreed with Bush/Rove while he was in the White House? Are you kidding me?! Disagreeing with these guys was not allowed, people! And how much influence would a spokesperson have? No one in power cared about his opinion. How disingenuous can ya get. It's the usual indignant, self-righteous pile-on from the GOP.

I believe all these religious priests/so-called pastors, are coming
out of the woodwork for a CONTRIBUTION TO THEIR CHURCH,
COMPLIMENTS OF HILLARY CLINTON….IS ANYONE SUSPICIOUS BUT ME????
OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN….GO BARAK GO GO GO

Sorry for the spelling I did not reread what I wrote before posting.

At least someone inside the Bush administration is feeling remorse and willing to shred off own moral burdens. Can any one tell how many people Hitlar killed in WWII?

Did we realy need McClellan to tell us about Bush? Haven't we known this all along? We have let Bush lie to us for 7 years now we are going to let a nobody " Obama " do the same thing. We will give the world another good laugh at our expence. Wake up America we need Hillary.
Go Hillary!

Who would he testify against? You can't get any one of these criminals to even acknowledge a subpeona.

You have dreams of impeachment. The Dems won all of Congress last time and they have done nothing. You Bush haters are laughable. It was not long ago you thought McClellan was full of it …yet now you believe him…how convenient. No one will go to jail out of any of this. Time to wake up.

Yes, it hurts to have someone come out and tell the truth sometimes. It's amazing to me to watch those enraged about McClellan's book. Why? This is America…we have nothing to hide right?
I would offer McClellan a job in a second. He's just an honest guy with a conscience. That's someone I could certainly use at my workplace!

Frodo was wrong …. Bush has the ring. And Hillary is coveting it… 'my pressssssssscious ……'

CNN,

You've given McClellan enough publicity for his book.

Enough.

Mr McClellan, like K-K-Katie Couric, is willing to confess and take responsibility, cause he, like her, does not seem to be aware of what he is taking responsibility for. If he (I don't know about her) had been smart enough, he either would have run screaming from the White House as soon as he knew, or kept his mouth shut and lawyered up. I'm sure by now he is talking to legal counsel. I can just hear him: "You mean they hung Germans for stuff like this after WW2?"
So take all you can get from him. when he realises what the stakes are, he's gonna shut like a clam, and nothing except a subpoena will open it again

Finally the truth comes out…or is it?

Scott M.,
I hope you know what you got yourself into and I hope your words are not as propaganda as we already know it. It's disturbing to hear how much we put our trust in our government only to hear the untold secrets now being addressed. Yes, democracy at its best!

Maybe that's why other countries depises us because our government are a bunch of hypocrites!

Joshua College,
If anything this administration has done was impeachable the Democratic party would already be pursuing that avenue. The fact of the matter is that all they have done is things that Democrats don't particularly like and you can't be impeached for not bowing down to the Democrats…..

McClellan was skewed by Anderson Cooper….

He asked Scotty: "Did you lie for two years as press spokesman for the President, or are you lying now?"
"And if you say you're telling the truth now, that means you were lying to our faces for two years. Why should we believe a liar?"

Go Anderson.

Obama 08

It is amazing how quickly people start "spilling the beans" when there book is for sale. This guy has no better then those he is supposedly outting

I can't wait to see this….

Congressman: "So, Mr. McClellan…you are here to testify about the run-up to the Iraq War?"

Scott: "Yes, Sir."

Congressman: "Your first-hand information about the pre-war intel and the lies propagated during the run-up will expose this Administration?"

Scott: "Yes, Sir!"

Congressman: "You were privy to the discussions, propaganda, and conspiracy as it pertains to the weeks and months leading up to the war…is that correct?"

Scott: "Yes, Sir!!!!"

Congressman: "Yet, you didn't begin working for the President until July 2003.. more than a year AFTER the war began…isn't that correct Mr. McClellan?"

Scott: "…um……uh……(oops)"

Isn't it sad America how people are crucified by our political leaders for speaking the truth. Then in the forum of piblic opinion they are laid out to pasture. How saddening. I believe he is telling the truth, no one would risk their life, freedom nor career for a simple book deal, especially when they were still being favored in the Republican Family. If he isn't telling the truth why would the WH speaker talk about emplying immunity if he is called to testify.

As a democrat, I never thought Bush should have been president. But one thing I would like to see is proof of what he is saying. And that he is going to donate proceeds of this book to people that served in the war. Then we will know that he did it for the right reason.

Funny how all the media and bloggers that now "believe him completely" were all but shouting "LIAR" at him when he was at the podium for the White House.

If he is sincere in his "truth telling" then why did he wait for a payoff to tell it?

The truth is he was fired because he did a poor job as a press secretary. Republicans said it then and they're saying it now. We're the only ones with a consistant argument here.

I believe that he is looking for attention and money. Why come out with all this now?

Bob Dole called McClellan out. I doubt McClellan is man enough for the challenge. Even in his 80's and with a bum arm, Dole would mop the floor with this little man called McClellan.

Thank you Scott!!

America has needed a brave and soul-searching insider to admit what most of us have known or suspected for years.

People who dish heat to McClellan while ignoring the Bush Admin's criminality are blind or mentally MIA.

saying that the Dems are wasting time and money investigating this and that it is pathetic is SHOCKING.

I mean… it was the Republicans that spent millions of taxpayer dollars investigating Bill Clinton's affair with Monica, right?

So… spending money finding out if we were lied to about a war that has cost this country billions and thousands of lives is a waste… but investigating a sex act is a good way to spend money!!!!?!??! Fiscal conservatism at its best, baby!

McClellan needs to apologize all right, for impersonating a man.

Sounds like a hell of deal for lots of money! Wake up America; these people have no scruples !

What a tool McClellan has become. I guess we all know now what his price is for becoming a sell out. Bob Dole had it right, if the "man" was so offended, why didn't he man-up and speak out at the time? This little dweeb of a so called man now runs around on all the liberal stations, ABC, NBC, ABC, and CNN to tell his little story for cash. I guess he'll end up on the rubber-chicken circuit with the other liberal losers like Helen Thomas, the entire cast from Air America and MSNBC.

First question by a Republican when McClellan is under oath: "So Scott, how much did Soros pay you to come up with these lies?"

It is time to take Bush and Tony Blair to Hague. They have to answer for the lost of americans, british and iraqis who died in this war based on lies. International communities are so good to take only leaders from 1/3 countries to Hague.

This 30 member panel has me suspicious. There are 13 clinton superdelegates, 8 Obama Superdelegates,9 Uncommitted Delegates. Can you say Clinton wins by vote. America we need to look at this can you say cover up.

"United We Stand, Obama in Demand".

It's despicable for someone to write a book to tell all about the white house. It seems it was for financial gain. If he wanted to say something, he should just say it.

All those criticizing this man should be ashamed, they have no right to call themselves Americans after attacking someone's free speech for speaking out against them. This sort of behavior by our government has gone on too long.

MAY THE STRONGER CANDIDATE WIN AND THAT IS HILLARY
WHETHER YOU OBAMA FANS LIKE IT OR NOT, THAT"S WHAT
THE POPULAR VOTE SAYS AND SHE'S READY FOR DAY ONE.
SO LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY BUT HILLARY
HAS MY VOTE ALL DAY, EVERRRY DAY.

The Catholics should shut up and clean up their dirty house!

Because this guy is GLEEFULLY socking it to the Bush administration. Its almost like he is RELISHING this to no end.

I'm enjoying it!

OBAMA IS A LIAR…This is the norm from his church. These reverends and Priest have been his Mentors. People clapping and hooting and hollering. Obama is a racist if I ever saw one. He hates white people.

You go boy. Go ahead and testify. I know this is a very trying time for you but stand your ground. Tell the truth and be able to sleep at night. And to all those who say he is doing this for monetary gains: get real. Who in their right mind will write such a juicy book for writing sake. Honey, I'm on my way to purchase a copy. Anyone wants a copy?

Why was the comments closed after 8 minutes on the discussion on the Obama and Pfleger/Catholic League controvery, and this one has been going on for over 2 hours?

The Obama campaign wanted 50 % of Michigan???

American voters are the victims of political corruption.

I heard the congressional leaders have a lower approval rating than Bush.

Hillary Clinton has more popular votes than Omaba or McCain, yet she is being pushed out of the race.

How much is team Obama paying you Scott? Whatever it is it isn't worth it traitor!

Former Dem voting for McCain if Hillary continues to be swiftboated by by the Dumb Dems!

Good job Mr. McClellan, you spoke the truth. Everyone knew this was all wrong… you just confirmed by speaking out.
Can you also say something about a candidate called Hillary.. she is getting desperate to get into the white house and already started lying, deceiving people (including her own party running mates).
Just imagine the mess she will create is she goes to the white house.. Then we will say Bush was a great president compared to Hillary
OBAMA 2008-16

McClellan, whatever his motivations, can be congratulated for finally living out loud. We have been led like lambs to the slaughter - in more ways than folks can imagine. Began before the current Bush administration, but it has only gotten worse.

Iraq is just one piece. Note the rising costs of food (for humans & our animals) as well as fuel, & the possibility of not being able to afford them (if we can get them at all!) on the domestic front. Health care crisis. Global warming issues. Contaminated & dangerous imports killing or sickening our humans - even our children! - & our animals. Outsourced American jobs. People losing their homes & their life savings. FDA. FEMA. Our "friends" in other countries…. The list is, from all appearances, endless. And, much of it is precariously life threatening.

My hope lies with Obama & the best possible advisers that he can surround himself with to start to pull us out before we are past the point of no return. And, I pray…. a lot!

Judas? Are you kidding me? That requires a bad person to betray a good one. Are you stoned or just stuck on stupid? This guy is a hero and should be praised by anyone who loves our country.

Bush and his cronies need to be prosecuted for their actions.

IF and that's a big if Scott is telling the truth than why did he wait so long?

He'd of been far more credible if he'd of resigned while on duty. this is all a bit fishy & stinks of opportunity. Just so happens to be when his book is coming out.

How timely…

You guys rport the crappiest news I have ever heard. How in the worild does the Catolics criticize obama for a catholic priest saying what he said. This s&!t is rediculouswhat you raciest people are trying to do. They need to worry about the little boys they are screwing.

McLellan just confirms what others have said already. It it refreshing to see a politician (especially a republican) put country before party.

Bob Dole needs to go back to pimping viagra

After thousands upon thousands have died? no amount of
conscience will wash the blood off McCellans hands.

How can we as a People allow any further Death and Suffering,
where are you America?

CNN, you cut off the comments to the Rev. Pflager controversy to 33 comments.

Why?

Please, CNN, or somebody:

Is Obama half white or not? If he is, does he know it?

I sure in heck won't forget the Rev. Pflager's comments any time soon.

And people want to talk about Senator Obama and a prietst who has his own thoughts……..Americans, please do you look at your wife or husband and agree with everything he/she says…..The real issue is Mr. McClellan is going to tell you the truths about the Bush Administration. He knew what was going on…..They tried to keep him in the dark until he realized the problem was from the top down.

That's the real truth and Senator McCain if elected will bury it…..
The Republicans want the White House so they can bury the evidence about Iraq, New Orleans, Afghanistan, Halliburton, Private Security Companies in the Middle East, the record profits of oil barons, etc.

Mr. McClellan is willing to testify in court….That for most Americans should say something………….

American voters are the victim of political corruption.

Hillary Clinton has more popular votes than Obama and McCain, yet she is being pushed out of the race. Hillary Clinton is not a victim of sexism. American voters are the victim of political corruption and sexism and racism were used against us.

Hillary stay in the race.

That's because he is clearing his conscience and aches to tell all. He welcomes the courtroom. I hope all the war criminals wind up in jail

He seems to be right about this administration they think they are ALWAYS right and will NEVER listen to anyone that says anything different!

The guy took us to war and lie about why. Dollar is down everywhere. People can't drive to work cause gas price. You go to the Supermarket and can't buy same as a you did 8 years before him. Lot of young people died in Afganistan and Irak. Thousands main sick over the war. Why don't they impeach this guy???

These comments are hilarious. McClellan has not brought out any facts in his book; it is all his opinion. It's hilarious how all the loons raving about how great a man he is only say so because they think that he can confirm something they desperately believe in. He can't. He has nothing but his opinion. He doesn't have any facts to back it up.

In case you folks haven't read it ;ya'll need to pick yourselves up a co-py of the book THE Bush Family Dynasty.The book explains of how he was a sloppy irresponsible drunk all the way through high school.wh-ile at Yale is explained of how( W )got locked -up three times for crack paraphernalia & substance abuse.the book tells of how his daddy & grandpa paid his way through Yale.Speaks of his A W O L problem. the reason that you'll never find all of the records is that his daddy & grandpa had them inducted into the national archives. the book also tells about the reason that Barbara didn't live in the White House is be-cause HW had a mistress that lived in NEW YORK(.check it out)

Caligula or Bush ? What's the difference ? Caligula had some scruples…..

All you Hillary supporters who are ready to switch to John McCain in the general elections are idiots in the purest form. You have no understanding of the real issues in this race, most paramount being the future of our foreign policy and our standing in the world. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I love how CNN takes 33 comments on Obama's racist friends. I guess CNN is so in love with Obama, they won't allow anyone to post about the obvious hatred Obama and his supporters seem to have for white people.

To those of you who are bashing this guy; I'd like to ask you a question. What would you think if Powell comes forward with a truthful book; would you bash him and call him dirty names too?

I would love to read his "Slam Dunk" book and I hope he'll write it soon BUT he is too much a gentleman and having the army training, I guess he'll take his memories to his grave.

I'll tell you the truth; if he writes trithfully; Bush and all his friends will be charged for treason. Dig that Mac!

Why is it when someone tells the truth about Bush, people find the truth so hard to believe?

A BUSH staffer under OATH??? LOL It is OVER for Bush now. He has spent all of his time preventing just that and circumventing US LAW and constitution.

They are TOAST NOW.

Unless this guy has an " Accident"

I really hope MSNBC offers Scott McClellan a job as a political analyst so that he can perform the same duties for MSNBC that Karl Rove does for FOX. Also, I bleive Larry Craig has just annouced that "he" is writing a book. And just about every ex-Bush official has written a book to "leech" off of their previous jobs. Me thinks the Republicans who are critical of Scott McClellan's book wouldn't be critical at all if he was still drinking the Bush Kool-Aid and had written a flattering rather than critical book. Evidently, only Republicans who right flattering books about Republicans don't have mercenary motives

Didn't read every comment, just the first dozen or so. Do any of you Bush-haters know that the publisher has strong ties to none other than that anti-American traitor George Soros? Anything else you need to know? Scotty Boy is a disgruntled ex-employee who was brainwashed by the editor, who is a far-left Bush-hater himself. This book is for wiping your liberal sterns. Olberwoman called it a historical book. ROFLMAO. Bush Derangement Syndrome will be in your systems long after this January. I laugh at all you liberals because you are blind, deaf and dumb.

CNN, WHY AM I ALWAYS IN MODERATOR'S HELL?

Obama’s Message is eerily similar to Bush’s Message way back when!

"It's a message that is very similar to the one that Gov. Bush ran on in 2000," McClellan told CBS News.
My Interpretation: He is so like Bush he can con everyone and once he is elected goes into the tower and pi** red on all Americans.
"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Sen. McCain," he said. "I'm also intrigued by Sen. Obama."
My Interpretation: I am intrigued with Obama because he is slyer than Bush who hoodwinked America.

There is basically no difference between Bush who I have served and Obama who is spewing the same rhetoric that the poor delusional citizens are lapping up, Incredible.

Kevin

You are so right. He is admiting his mistakes. How courageous. Oh by the way, he is trying to sell a book and make a few million. Now thats courageous. Seems he was a leading critic on those who had left the administration earlier and written books. Big difference was those people had the guts to disagree while they were on the job. You are a joke McClellan.

God help us all in 08, Clinton, McCain and Obama are all losers!!

ARREST THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION!

PLEASE!!!

Just like with the MANY defectors from Hillarys camp that saw the light you can call ONE of them JUDAS but when it becomes a FLOOD it is called FREEDOM!!!!!

This is the beginning of the fall of the law breaking Bush Dynasty. I have been waiting for this for YEARS.

Look at all the little liberals embracing Scott McClellan! It seems like just yesterday you liberals were telling us that McClellan was nothing but scum and we shouldn't believe a word he says.

i am laughing at all you hater repugs out there who worshipped mclellan's every word when he was the mouthpiece for these criminal neocons!

so which one it is—is he a liar NOW or was he a liar THEN?!!?!?

thank god you're only about 24% of americans these days!

too little, too late … and there is still blood on his hands … but better late than nevah. B

its funny that now he's telling the truth and a liberal hero, but working for the bush adm. he was a blathering idiot. that tells the whole story.

to Hillary in 08

Although it hurts, I will pray for you.

Hey CNN, I can't believe you let that blog through! Wake up the moderator!

JUSTICE is on its way for WAR CRIMES and sending our military into a unnecessary war in Iraq and for many other wrong doings.

While Bush was wrapping himself in the flag, claiming "Mission Accomplished", it takes the courage of a true patriot to stand up and say what is right in the face of overwhelming criticism.

If only Hillary had that "Profile in Courage" moment when she had the opportunity to vote against the war, but instead took the expediant route and hedged with the polls and her future Presidential aspirations and voted for war. Only, if… I'd be voting for her.

Instead, the only candidate with integrity in this race is Obama. I voted for him in the primaries and will vote again for Obama in the GE.

it's too bad you didnt get this shot of integrity sooner, but 78% of americans are 100% behind you, mclellan!!!!!

wait….listen….what was that sound!?!? the beautiful clanking of the war criminals' SILVER BRACELETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey, repugs, dont let the door hit you, where beelzebub split you!!!!

Why is it that CNN has seven pictures of their candidate on the political ticker and Obama once? Guess that is fair and balanced like any good news reporting agency.

Now Hillary is trying to compare our election to those in other countries that end in violence.. About rigging elections and violence.

What is she trying to say?

Will she ever stop?

So how much $$$ is he gonna make on the book???

Scott McClellan knows full well that this bush W hite House is a farce.Just as if he knows for sure that this war is in the same category All this war is about is the george bush family oil .these bush's aren't worth all of the blood-shed. The only way to end this nonsense is to get them outbush shouild have been canned years ago.Ican't under-stand how anyone could be so heartless.This war is not to protect our nation .it's to protect his daddy.in other words .bush is spending our tax funds for his personal problem.he ought to be strung-up for treason.

You Bush apologists are the same people that defending Nixon to the bitter end…this time it's worse.

Richard Clarke said it best…that McClellan is just stating the obvious now, that people have realized Iraq was based on lies for years now. We already knew these things.

Memo to the Republicans: how can all these people - most of whom hired by Bush/Cheney ALL be be liars? I can see if it was just one. But Clarke, O'Neill, Tenent, McClellan ALL liars? No way! The writing's on the wall face it.

Geez, lay off Bush already; he is irrelevant.

Focus on the future and Senator Clinton's platform for fixing our economic crisis.

KEEP FIGHTING 4 US HILLARY !

you are applauded for standing up and standing your ground. dana perino has her nose so far up bush's butt, if he makes a turn her nose gets broken. it takes big ones to speak against the worst administration in the history of america…. kudos to you

I guess Obama did do somthing as a State Senator after all, a $100,000 state grant to Pfleger?

McClellan has said what every person already knew, and the ones that are coming down on him know he is telling the truth and the truth hurts, especially this looser Dole.

It's about time that someone of the "values crowd" got enough principle to tell the TRUTH.

Criminal proceedings should follow his testimony to congress and a special prosecutor should be appointed immediately.

Whatever his motives, who needed this guy to tell them that Bush and Company were misleading the country and the world?

TO "I have a goldfish" -

I totally agree with you. May be we should form a coalition in support of President Bush to prove that he is not alone and that he has millions of people supporting him.

How about that?

Forget it McClellen! I am not a Republican but I smell an Obama camp rat!

All the crazies are swinging to Obama!

Get real Dems or lose! America is not far left!!

Glad Scott is coming clean - perhaps his conscience got the better of him. Sad that he didn't reveal this stuff before more people (US Servicemen and women and hundred of thousands of Iraqs) were killed, wounded and psychologically screwed up in Iraq! But better late than never! I hope Bush/Cheney/ Rummey/Rice are tried and convicted of war crimes!

Maybe all of you Obama supporters need to get a room or something. Some of you are really starting to sound like a romance novel.

Wow!!! Someone from this terrible administration is going to testify under oath. Having fought in Iraq and watched buddies die, I hope they put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Rove, etc. on trial for war crimes, obstruction of justice….throw the book at them!!!!

like mother like son.

He is a blot on Texas.

Sorry, apparently I can't spell -

Michel Pfleger

Thank you Mr. McClellan. Our country needs more brave people like you, willing to step up and tell the truth.

Please, Let it all out. The truth hurts.

But its ok… we hate OBAMA so much its worth it to send outrkids to die in the same for the next century for nothing.

For the record, I am a Hillary supporter. I will not be voting for John McCain. I don't hate Obama. It's crap like this that his supporters spew all over the internet that I hate. It's the same kind of crap we've had to take from Republicans for years, but with a new marketing package.

Your diatribe does nothing at all to persuade me to actively support your candidate. Nothing. I will not be bullied.

How much is team Obama paying you Scott? Whatever it is it isn't worth it traitor!

Former Dem voting for McCain if Hillary continues to be swiftboated by by the Dumb Dems!

When will CNN report that McCLellan's book is being funded and published by George Soros?

The Obama-bots want to tie McCain to Bush but not Obama to Pfleger or Wright? Those pedphiles in the Catholic church at least did not stand up and profess their preversion, to the cheers of the congregation. Obama has to approve of this Churches
retoric or he would have left. Divine Intervention come on!!!

If Obama has to apologize about that new preacher then Hillary should denouce Ferraro. She hasn't yet. Why?

Obama 08

How much is team Obama paying you Scott? Whatever it is it isn't worth it traitor!

Former Dem voting for McCain if Hillary continues to be swiftboate by by the Dumb Dems!

Did we really need this guy to tell us what we already knew?

This story is really making Obama supporters go goo-goo-gah-gah.

Considering the reality Show run by Hialry and Bill in this election, I consider them a part of Hollywood and attain the status of celebrities to them than politicians and would like to see them Leave this country.

High crimes and misdemeanors? Maybe, but it's too late for impeachment proceedings. Bush would claim executive privilege, despite the book's release. However, this might keep the yellow dog in check until the democrats take over.

Oh don't they hate to read the truth in the new book out thats the truth .
Way to go Mc Clellan .

Its a change from hearing the many Bosnia lies from gas tax, their math on and onOMG that would fill a book with her lies.

Go Obama 08/12

where are the indictments?

Nancy, quit trying to force Hillary out of the race and put that effoet into Impeaching Bush…

It is about time for someone to testisfy. Karl Rove refused. At least McClellan is willing to defend himself against numerous accusations about foul play or disloyalty to his employer–"THE DECIDER".
"I AM THE DECIDER" sounds like a DICTATOR TO ME. Go McClellan reveal the truth.

Are we sure that Bush CAN read? He doesn't read reports he just listens to the talking heads around him. That's why we're in the mess we're in now. He only gets briefed. By now, I'm sure he's been briefed on this book and has a complete understanding of how this affects him and those around him.

Et tu, Scotte?

Mr. McCellan you shlould join Mr. Obama's team and cozy up to the other "stand up" citizen, Mr. Richardson.

His book should be titled "I didn't believe in any of this crap before, but then I got a book deal"

The first time I saw McClellen, when re was to replace Ari Fleischer I became ill and vomited. I still feel the same about him. HE SUCKS.
With a little luck he will wind up under the buss on his way to testify.
What a pity it is that Bush did not see him for the low-life he is.

The Bush White House fed this guy to the lions. So tell me again, what exactly does he owe Rove and his ilk?

McClellan is the lowest form of backstabbing weasel and deserves to have his fingernails pulled out one by one. He can use the money from his book to pay for his recovery.

would someone just tell this guy his 15 minutes are over? Crawl back into the sewer where he belongs.

Watch out bushy

Of course. It's an opportunity to promote his book, keep it in the public eye, and leech more money.

Scum.

This is startling, amazing, and refreshingly different from a Bushie. I am almost speechless. If McClellan testifies before Congress and validates the concerns and critical observations of so many outside of the Bush administration, this could serve to begin the process of finally bringing the NeoCons who have broken the laws and bent the Constitution to meet their own desires and needs to justice. The American people know increasingly clearly that they have been deceived and their wealth, trust, and basic rights abused in regards to so many issues (the Iraq War-al Qaeda connection, illegal wiretapping, Hurricane Katrina, Guantanamo, illegal extraditions, waterboarding, Valeria Plame, support of Blackwater, numerous war crimes, etc….—oh, I can't name them all there are so many…). The criminals need to be brought to justice. No official is above the law. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, Gonzales, Mukasey, and their cooperative subordinates—the whole lot—need to be held accountable for their dishonesty and criminal doings. Executive privilege is unconstitutional!!! It's never too late to impeach!!!

Sleasy, Sleasy, Sleasy!!!

My oh my! Just looking at all the tickers today truly shows Clinton News Network (CNN) at its best! If there was ever any doubt what so ever, it should be crystal clear that Wolf, Dobbs, Schneider, Mooney, Johnson and Sinderbrand all coming out strong for Hillary.

This is what you'd expect from any Honourable American, to tell the truth and respect the Congress and to put America first. His loyalty is obviously to the his country above all. Meanwhile Bush and Clinton continue to lie and mislead and to put SELF-SERVICE into the Public Service. Remember the cahllenge issued by JFK in his inaugural speech. McLellan continues to ask what he can do for his country.

McLellan is a credit to your country.

Mike

ANOTHER JUDAS, HOW MANY MORE.

====== u know,

————————–hearings are fine, but Then What????!!!!!!!

here is man w/ a clear conscience while not in the inner circle he was the one who had to face the media day after day and spin all them lies that the white house and mary matalin, karen huhges and all them liars were spinning. in that "white house" machine the man is no judasgoat. blind loyalty has not sent him over the cliff. he must now be able to sleep at night.

NOW WHAT CROOKS AND GANGSTERS? I'm glad now that the people will see what the Republicans are all about. They didn't learn a lesson with Nixon. But surely now America will never go this way again. ALL THOUGH THEY ARE MAKING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF THEM ALL RIGHT NOW. IF OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRAT NOMINEE. THEN I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE EIGHT MORE YEARS OF BUSH JR. THAN 6-MONTHS OF LIAR-OBAMA. WHO HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING EXCEPT DEVIDE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Scott,

Please do it. They will not call you because they know you are telling the truth.

Everyone makes mistakes, but it takes a bigger person to see them. You're a good man, McClellan.

And a collective GULP was heard from the political wh*res who occupy and serve this White House! It does my heart good now to see a man that I at one time reviled for his verbally supportive role of the Bush administration's crimes … now come clean and redeem himself … thank you Scott!

nobody cares about this loser, cnn. old news. stop reporting on it.

Wake Up White People, before it's too late!!!
Hip hop music blasting from the oval office, Shooting dice on the South lawn and Fire breathing racist preachers scattered about. That's the leadership I want!

Go Hillary!

So what happens now America? Are some of you still hands up for McCain or should I say George Bush III!! If McCain supports Bush supports Bush supports McCain then that means that thy're two of the same. Is that what we are looking for. Don't you people see that it's the political con that the Rep. pulled that has us at war now, paying high price for gas and has screwed up the economy. No more Bush means no McCain.

Enough said!

Let's get the impeachment going already now.

Yes! It's about time. Bob Dole is exactly what everyone is addressing "cronieism". Bob Dole is the "miserable creature" as his republican party is going down. They're so out of it they've killed 4,000 young men for oil.
They're wringing they're hands because of oil profits over dead kids and native people. Because they're religion is different they have more incentive to invade. Bob Dole and the administration are bad people who kill for profit.

I hope the Libs go ahead with this. The first time it's proved that something McClellan said was a lie, let's see how quick the Libs abandon him. Let's not focus on high gas or food prices, let's dig up garbage from years ago that McClellan decided wasn't worth talking about untill Soros got a hold of him and offered him big bucks to "remember" stuff about his time in the White House. Yes, thank god we've got the libs in charge of the House and Senate. They've got their priorities straight. Pathetic, just pathetic.

I've never seen anyone more eager to schlep a book than this shmuck.

He must really need the money.

How do we handle back stabbers like McClellean in the service?
You don't want to know.

Mr. Big dies at the end of Sex And The City movie!

All of this should have happened years ago. I hope Bush faces punishment for the last eight years

Just a shame he doent have enough on them to have them all locked up.

Yo, Scott!!!

Of course Bush won't read the book; he still hasn't finished 'My Pet Goat.'

Scott McCellan will only confirm what Americans have known for a long time—that we didn't need to go to war. I would like to take it a step further by saying that we don't have any business being in Iraq any longer. If we needed an excuse at the time to depart, we could have used the "execution of Saddam Hussein" as the reason for ending the war. Terror exists on all levels, but we can't go into every country and "bully our way to the illusion of freedom." The White House may be sad that Mr, McCellan told what he felt was the truth, but Americans have been sadder realizing what the consequences of the War on Terrorism has been in lost lives on both sides (civilian and otherwise) , damage to the environment, and monetary losses to our economy. I applaud Mr. McCellan for stepping forth and telling the truth. He did not come forth at a strategic point in the election. Thank you, Scott,

Bush should be hung in the town square for this war.

Bush and the Republican hate machine may be sorry for what they wish for. You have Karl Rove and Limp Bushbaugh, those two psuedo patriotic police, wailing their venom, joined by the old GOP guard. They can't even get McBush to wear the American flag lapel pin. Everyone knows that really shows how they feel about America and not how they live and act about their feelings for America.

Good. And the Right Wing will continue to fire salvos at him - the more negatives they throw at him, the more you truth you know he is saying. If he was making this up, they would dismiss him as a lunatic. Instead, they say stuff like "if he had a problem with it, he should have quit."

If I remember correctly, HE DID RESIGN.

I'd love to spin my comment into something that says the obvious: Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to go up against John McCain!

But I watched too many of your press conferences when you were Press Sect for Bush and I saw this interview that you had with Wolf and, Scott, all I have to say:

Dude, you're pathetic.

"Look at me now. Look at how sincere and contrite I am."

You're a failure as (in no particular order): a man, a patriotic American, an employee, a partisan of the truth… you get the point.

Why have you connected telling the truth (years after when telling the truth would have mattered) to selling "the book"? How many times did you say "the book" in your interview with Wolf today, anyway?

Disloyalty to Bush is fine in my book, but way too late. And no one likes greedy opportunists who have found a way to turn their time deceiving the American people into cash.

Go find a hole where you can spend eternity feeling shame for what you knew you were doing to our system of government for so many years.

And he should testify - now that is something I'd sit with a bowl of popcorn to watch!

thank you scott,

Bush and Hillary Clinton have blood on their hands………..

McClellan should have spoken out when it would have made a difference, far too much cowardice in the washington, from officials and the press, but it is time to expose the corruption. McClellan should testify. Charges should be filed. People should be fired, and convicted. FCC licenses should be revoked.

CNN, cover the Military Analyst Scandal! Fess up to your own corruption.

That will be great…
Impeachment is coming

THIS IS LIKE A KGB FLIPPING. HE HAS ALL THE SECRETS.

I think the real reason McClellan wrote this book was simply to clear his conscience. Since impeachment doesn’t appear likely, lawyers here and internationally must examine what recourse can be taken against Bush and Cheney, who have severely damaged our country and placed international relations in jeopardy. They need to pay a price.

Good. Having a truth teller testify will be a refreshing change from the whole bunch of Bush liars who won't testify and would not tell the truth if they did. Our country deserves better than the administration and the low integrity and honesty they show day in and day out. Lies flow so freely from Bush and Cheney it makes our nation a pitiful example.

This just proves that McCain misspoke statement about us going to war over oil probably was true.

Oh Simple Scotty has grow a pair.
Good, good.

Sure, McClellan can now concede that he "misled the public," and that he himself was "badly misguided." He concedes these points after the book is published, of course. He's no better than those Hollywood brats who write bad things about their famous parents just to cash in; in fact; he's far worse than the Hollywood folks. They're not dangerous; people like McClellan are.

I think it’s a good thing that McClellan is speaking up. Better late than never. I see it as a public service. So, what’s got Bob Dole so extremely upset? Would he rather see all that foul-smelling stuff kept under wraps? I wonder why. Who is he protecting? That’s another book.

Good Man!!!

Don't count on the Bush administration letting him testify. Coverup is Bush's middle name.

just a run-of-the-mill, garden variety, nuthin' special punk.

I'm willing to give McClellan the benefit of the doubt: That he decided what he was doing was wrong and the people he was working for were wrong, and that it's important to him to now tell the truth. Better late than never.

For Dole to excoriate him for not being loyal is really telling. Does Dole actually put loyalty to the party ahead of loyalty to America and to Americans? If Dole believes McClellan is lying, Dole needs to call him a liar and tell us why he believes him to be one. Otherwise, Dole is just demonstrating his own character flaw.

THIS GUY IS A REAL WIMP!
WHAT A WAY TO SELL YOUR BOOK!
AND TO MAKE THE REPUBLICANS LOOK BAD FOR BORACK OBAMA!
HILLARY IS HONEST AND DESERVES THE NOMINATION!!!

Wow! Pretty brave Mr. McClellan. "Bad Luck" has befallen many who have become too vocal in their criticisms of the Bush administration (Wellstone, JFK Jr., etc.)

I agree that this man should challenge things he doesnt believe to be correct, but there is something about this that just smells of money and greed.
