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.

Excellent! Can't wait to watch the proceedings.... it'll be like PORN!

Well Mr. McClellan is saying what Americans already knew and believed that this war was a big mistake and Bush is the WORST president America has every seen. Voting for John McCain is continuing this war and back to the dark ages for women when he elects Supreme Court judges. McClellan I believe could not sleep at night knowing how many youngs lives have been lost in a senseless war that should have never been waged. They had a documentary on HBO entitled "Baghdad." I wish the Baghdad was on the big screen instead of Sex in the City. It was very sad to see so many soldiers being flown to a hospital in Baghdad where the Army doctors and nurses waited for the horror they were about to see as they landed the choppers of human beings blown in half and their flesh hanging off their bones. Some were already dead on arrival and others dying on the operating table. Some of the soldiers had one of their legs completely blown off he hung on over night but died in the morning, he was 21 years old he just had a birthday. The Chaplan gave the soldiers their last rites and he said, "how many more do we have to lose and he stopped counting the dead" This war is so senseless." So, whichever way the Democratic nomination goes, people would be crazy to vote for McCain.

Democrats need to unite and vote for our nominee whichever one it is. I intended to, I don't care if he is biracial or a woman!!! You better vote based on how it will affect your lives, your children and your grandchildrens lives, yours homes and your pocketbooks. IT IS ABOUT TIME WE START SPENDING MONEY ON AMERICA AND NOT EVERYBODY ELSE!!! WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE OVER 50,000 SOLDIERS WHO ARE COMING HOME HANDICAP AND BLIND.

Can anyone really say that they didn't see this coming...I wouldn't have fingered McClellan but oh this was definitely inevitable.

Scott McClelland has sustained many vicious attacks in the past few days, most of which seem to be centered around his breach of loyalty. The outrage over this issue pre-supposes that prizing loyalty above all else is a virtue. Do you know who else valued loyalty above all, punishing betrayal swiftly and brutally? Adolph Hitler. Granted, Mr. McClelland doesn’t have to worry about being shot against a wall (probably). So placing a high value on loyalty is of questionable merit to say the least. Valuing patriotism above all, another thing this White House likes to trumpet, is also not without its moral strings attached. Andy Rooney once observed that probably the most patriotic people he met in his life were the Nazis. That kind of takes the shine off patriotism too. Wow, two comparisons between German National Socialism and the Neo-Cons in one paragraph – that’s pretty harsh and unfair . . . or maybe not, if they had more time you never know.

I don't believe McClellan regrets a single thing he did, because it all helped him make money.

he is so simple minded that he can't comprehend all the rebuttal witnesses that will prove that he is simple minded.

Finally...a member of the Bush team that has integrity enough to tell the truth, to be forthcoming about the truth, and be willing to swear that what he is saying is, in fact, the truth. These are all characteristics that the rest of the administration seems to fail to understand that most Americans recognize as the basics for personal integrity.

Now what!!!!

He's not running, he is will to stand up and testify and that's more than I can say for all those who have attack him as a person but not have not attack his words

McClellan has severely damaged President Bush. Although we already knew most of what he wrote, he now provides a credible source and details of what happened that will become an important part of the historical record of the worst President in History. This code of the Republicans to blindly follow their leadership, gives their leadership power, but it is a well know axiom that power unchecked power always leads to abuse, something our founding fathers understood well. That is why the fundamental right of freedom of speech was created. The fact that he is being targeted by a smear campaign and his career is damaged because he is now a “turncoat republican� makes him somewhat of a heroic. McClellan is serving the higher purpose of loyalty to the United States. If he makes money from telling the truth- all the better as others will be encouraged to tell the truth on such matters and those in public office need to be reminded that they are in a position of public service.

i've never been happier to live in canada.

I've heard all the noise about this guy's character, BUT not a word about whether or not what he's saying is TRUE. That can only be for one of two reasons: 1) it is true; or 2) he has even more dirt to turn.

Uhmmm If Clinton can Be impeached for messing around on his wife…….Why with all Bush has done!!!!!!! He is not even being investigated for Impeachment????? He Lied to the People, cost thousand of American lives and disrupted millions of families with his lies…causinig a nonsense war…….and Then he has the audactiy to implement Executive Priviliage on any Question put to him??????? What is wrong with this Picture?????.....Also Please explain.........how is it we can find Saddam who wealth was estimated at 20billion and had numerous look alikes.........but Bin Laden who wealth is 300 million ..........CANNOT BE FOUND NOR DOES HIS NAME EVER COME ACROSS BUSH LIPS!!!!!!

Way to go man. Don't let them strong arm you into silence. Its obvious with the uproar that you touched home.

Thank you for your honesty.

@Wexler....keep it up.

Could this be the end of the road for the Bush administration? Will this be the beginning of the thread that unravels the whole thing and sends these men and women (Bush, Cheny, Rove, Rumsfeld, Miers, Gonzales) to jail?

Scott had better get himself some secret service folks FAST! The guy has a pair, I gotta give him that. I also gotta thank him for letting us all know we are not totally crazy, this GW & Cronies are bad, bad, bad (and now rich, rich, rich).

Does anyone else find it ironic that gas prices soar right after the govt. gave us a stimulas package? I mean, it went from the Fed reserve, almost directly into the bank account of the oil industry. Is nobody curious about that? GW & Cheny have raped us royaly and they see that there is only a few months left to squeeze us dry of our last few dollars and what remains of our soul.

Maybe if Scott McClellan testifies before Congress... Then the BUSH Administration will Send some of the "Other PRIVILIGED People" ( EXECUTIVE PRIVILIGE that is ) to Testify also, so they can REFUTE his version of Events... Personaly (Not Having YET Read The Book ) I Would Tend to BELIEVE Him... Judging by the Reaction Of the BUSH Talking Heads Trying to Discredit Scott...

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL US THE TRUTH ABOUT THE LAST & 7 1/2 YEARS

What's taking you guys so long to update these posts?

I hope that he does testify and the President is backed in the corner to tell the truth and let history show that the people ( as well as me ) was for the war cause of all the false statements that was brain washed in to the American people.
McCain will have to come out against Bush sooner or later and he must know it by now, and when he does the Clinton supporters will feel better about voting for him in the fall rather then the Kennedy Demo's.

Uhmmm If Clinton can Be impeached for messing around on his wife.......Why with all Bush has done!!!!!!! He is not even being investigated for Impeachment?????

What is wrong with this Picture?????

Look folks, Obama's not necessarily a bad guy – he's just not the right guy for the job we need to get done TODAY. And as for November: It's not so much that he can't win, it's simply that he just won't. He has consistently choked in securing the Democratic nomination which should in and of itself be lighting up the WARNING lights at the DNC.

Playing the "Race Card" has consistently worked in his favor – but it's pee'd off a lot of people – and this is just during the PRIMARIES. Imagine how the following groups of people will feel during the General Election (Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike):

- Asian
- Jewish
- Latinos
- White
- Oh, and yes, the Black vote as well...

Everyone has been so quick to count Clinton out of the race, that no one has quite realized that the Big War in November will be won decisively by McSame, if we have Obama (WITHOUT HILLARY) on the ballot in November.

Hopefull, the DNC will realize that in its meeting when they "decide" what to do about the 2.3 million votes cast in FL and MI. And accordingly, the superdelegates will finally get their heads out of the sand and support the candidate that will secure the CHANGE we need in November:

Vote Hillary for President! Because God only knows that the only way Obama will win if is Hillary is on as V.P!!

Either move will unify the party that Obama has single-handedly divided.

toooooo late, billions of dollars and thousands of life wasted in Iraq. why didn't he come out 5 years ago?

Good for him. Someone should tell the truth. Those bible-thumping "values" politicians in the GOP are the biggest liars around.

With Hillary Clinton coming close behind.

SECRET SERVICE NEEDS TO SURROUND HIM NOW!!!!

This guy is the first to testify UNDER OATH from the Bush Crew. Bush has done everything in his bag of tricks to prevent ANYONE from doing ANYTHING under oath or on the record.

Bush is not stupid....( well yes he is but) He KNOWS as soon as ANYONE talks under Oath he is D-O-N-E

That is when all the walls will cave in..all the Rats will turn on eachother and POOF He is IMPEACHED!!!

Again. PROTECT THIS GUY before he has an " Accident"

McClellan is a parasite, who was not qualified for this presigious position he had, and the trust that was required. He was given alot of privileges by the President, and to completely turn on the President like this, is criminal. What happened to confidentiality agreements for high level positions like this? He's pathetic person, who may be in the basking in the limelight now, but will be a very lonely person when all of the hype is over.

As Pat Buchanan said, he gives meaning to the words " you'll never work in this town again".

I hope this is true. This makes me even more supportive of President Bush, who has kept us safe since 9/11.

I said I won't write again. Well, I am back. After doing some research, I hope Hillary takes this as far as she can. When she finally loses, I hope the rest of you loser write her name in the ballot. The more votes you fools give Hillary the easier you make it for McCain to win. The longer this goes the better it gets for the Democrats to lose the majority they won in the house and senate. I am calling it today May 30th at 3:58 PM CST, There will be another Republican President in January, this time with a Republican majority in congress. We will owe that to Hillary and her childish supporter and Barak and his childish supporter. So keep playing the name calling game and take the fight for your candidate to the streets. Maybe and nice Clinton lead Riot will help your case. Thanks you again for handing the control of the country back to the Republicans.

Are you going to post this?

Nothing in his book is new. Much ado about nothing. It's the publisher that made the book harsher than it was because it had no chance of selling. Once again, liberals having a hard time with reality.

McClellan is acting "born again..." He's had a confrontation with his conscience of what's right and what's wrong.

I wonder if the Clinton's can ever do the same? There is so much wrong with her campaign. Yet sadly, she blames Obama for it. And the DNC. I really do think she's turning toward the dark side. She's even quoting Rove's statistics now. How's that for good judgement?

Be in peace with your soul and you will really be free.
Mr. McClellan is just trying to tell us what he thinks will make him at peace with himself.The truth is that we have been misguided into waging war with Irak.He might not be the only one, for sure and I 'm sure that Colin Powel also will come forward very soon and all those that have played the speaker role in some instance will confess the mess.
The truth will hurt but won't burst our eyes:the bush administration have to come forward and apologize to the american people that they have failed.Even the crisis that we are facing right now is the iceberg of their failure.
Finally, i support McClellan and would like to tell all those that expand their imagination in calling names reflexive names such as Judas that they are not better worth than him.It takes more than manliness to come forward and tell the truth after one has realized his mistake.

So who is the real coward now?The one who's still in the house and continue to powder the public opinion with chicaneries or the one who will testify very soon?
Well the truth is that people do not want to hear the truth:
The bush administration has failed.

" I think the american people see that I do regret that... "

Dear Ms. Sinderbrand-

I'm shocked that you refuse to capitalize "American"! Are you not an American-loving American? You probably don't even wear an Americal Flag pin at all times! I bet you even wear the scarves that terrorists-lovers like Rachel Ray are flaunting!

I apologize if it is really Mr. McClellan who refuses to capitalize "American". I notice HE doesn't wear an American Flag pin at all times. Maybe he's got one of those scarves on under his coat, too!

A Flag-Wearing, Unscarved Patriot, and Proud of It!

McClellan, you have no need to worry. Your only mistake was not saying this sooner. Bob Dole, if you're going to call others miserable creatures, that means that you don't mind being called a miserable creature yourself.

Mr. McClellan is a true American hero for having the courage to speak out–with insider knowledge–against an obviously vindictive Bush White House that by the way he knows so well. The response of the Bush White House is predictable and not at all surprising. What is surprising is that some members of the media continue to be used by the Bush White House to spread their propaganda of lies on a broad range of national security issues, but also against any one who would dare to challenge its modus operandi. Thus, such media types are the ones aggressively questioning McClelland's motive and subjecting him to hostile cross-examination, using in fact the inflammatory accusations of the likes of Dole, Karl Rove, Perino and co. No wonder people like Rove have found lucrative employment within the corporate media although everyone should be quite familiar with their dark side and the damage their approach to politics has done to America at home and abroad. This is one of the reasons we urgently need change in Washington!

Things work out in God Time. You can hid wrong in the closet, but it will come back to bit you. I am proud of Mr. McClellan what he did. I believe he can sleep better at night. Being a child of God I can forgive him. We all did thing wrong, but we tell ourself enough is enough.

Thank you Mr. McClellan.

Think work out in God Time. You can hid wrong in the closet, but it will come back to bit you. I am proud of Mr. McClellan what he did. I believe he can sleep better at night. Being a child of God I can forgive him. We all did thing wrong, but we tell ourself enough is enough.

Thank you Mr. McClellan.

We, as Republicans, need to distance ourselves from this greedy liar and this whole story. It's because of people working under President Bush in his administration that we are unpopular. Everyone is quick to be upset with the President and fail to realize it's the insubordinates around him. They are the reason we haven't fully succeeded in Iraq. They are the reason we Republicans are looked down upon sometimes. President Bush is a good and decent man. I would vote for him again and again if I could. We just need to keep a closer eye on some of the people around him. McClellan and those like him are the scum of society. You just don't stab people in the back to make a dollar. He can have his 15 minutes of fame. He will be forgotten in a month.

Just one questions: When did he realize he was misleading the public?

I am just your average American and even I knew this war was wrong.

He'd be "happy to talk if (he) is asked to testify."

Hmmmm.........

SOMEONE ASK HIM!!!!!!! Let's get a long overdue impeachment going.

You might want to rethink about testifying before Congress, Mr. McClellan. After the first question regarding proof of some of your accusations about meetings that you were not a part of, I'm afraid that either your book sales will plummet, or you may be rung up as yet another left wing conspiracy theorist.

Personally, I hope you do testify simply for those questions of proof alone.

This is America and they do have the right to speak out even if it is 2 years afterward. At least he is speaking out.

Maybe instead of shooting the messenger(s), we should listen to what they have to say and raise holy hell about what is going on inside that administration.

I'm sure the Catholic League will also rush to condemn the priest, Monsignor Jim Lisante, who mockingly led the NY Republican Party last night in a prayer that asks God to change Obama's mind and volunteers to replace Rev. Jeremiah Wright as Obama's pastor.

"One more thing, Lord. Please tell Senator Obama that maybe change is a good thing and maybe he should think about changing his favorite preacher," he said, to applause.

After all, using a prayer to attack your political opponents is an abomination to all good Catholics, right?

Good!

Congress should bring bush up on war crimes and impeach him!!
He is the worst president in modern history and has misled the American people and betrayed their trust countless times. He has done tremendous harm to our economy and our perception around the world. Worst of all his disrespect and repeated violations of our constitution need to be addressed.

If you were in the military, would you want McClellan covering your back?

Directions: Answer either NO or YES to both questions.

1. Should Obama have left his church because Rev. Wright was the pastor?
2. Should we all leave America because George W. Bush is the president?

If you fail this test, you are an idiot and should have your voting rights taken away.

wow–a Republican thats willing to tell the truth.. How novel. Maybe it means Bush will finally be impeached

GO AHEAD MCCLELLAN, I AM STILL VOTING REPUBLICAN.

ANYONE BUT OBAMA 08

I am a Democrat, but this guy is a disgrace. I think Sen. Dole said it all. If you were not MEN enough to stand up for what you believe is right, selling it in a book is just a CHEAP shot. Shameful.

Since the liberal wing of the dem party are a bunch of rats and traitors youll fit right in.they are already swooning over you.

What's the big deal about McC? I totally comprehended the Iraq War situation before Bush shocked and awed a nation that didn't even have fighter jets to defend itself. I could have written the book on 3/03.

Bush is a lying monster and should not only be impeached, he should stand trial at a global court for war crimes.

Buddy, any way you try to spin it, you ARE a miserable creature...everyone knows the intelligence was not as good as it could have been, why are you people acting so surprised now? But the intelligence was the same viewed by Rebuplicans and Democrats alike, not to mention other countries, who all came to same conclusion...regardless of how the Democrats try to absolve themselves of their guilt. Hope Obama paid him a pretty penny...

Bush will be heading for his secret ranch in Paraguay (no extradition) before the end of the year.

His Perspective? This means he exagerated. He's doomed if he testifies. Bye Bye McClellan.

To all of the Hillary supporters out there I just wanted to say that I understand where you're coming from and your point of views. However, it is a fact that Obama is the most likely candidate to be able to bring down the walls of deception that permeate the sacred bubble that is Washington DC. Too long has Washington been bought off by coorporations and foreign governments, while the the majority of the American public stood by and with a smile on their face, ignorantly accepted it at face value. The Bush administration is obviously the most corrupt and most fascist, of any previous regimes, by a land slide. Having said that, if all of the Clintonites have ever read Bill Clinton's auto-biography, you would know that he himself wrote about how he couldn't believe the HUGE difference with what the public was told by the government and the truth about what was actually happening. This was extremely dissapointing to hear from Bill. That's all fancy Mr. Clinton but it doesn't explain the fact that you stood by and watched it happen on a regular basis and did nothing? And then he write's a book about it to profit even more from his presidency? And then he has the nerve to try to get back into the white house? WAKE UP CLINTONITES!!! Your precious king and queen could care less about what the heck happens to you and more about their own power, legacy, and pocket book. It is true that compared to Bush the Clinton's are mother Theresa, however, that doesnt excuse the fact that they are just as corrupt as the majority of Washington. Why do you think that the Clinton's and the ELELPHANT are working hand in hand? Do you think it's a coincidence? WRONG! It's the institution defending itself first and foremost before defending the honor, integrity, and people of America. It's pretty pathetic that the only time the Clinton's and the right have ever worked together on anything is to try to destroy Obama, purely for the sake of keeping a strangle hold on the power, family & business influences, and deep rooted corruption in which they all share a hand behind closed doors in Washington. PRAISE goes to Scott for his incredible ability to put his own life in danger for the sake of truth and justice for all man. Way to go Scott, the left welcomes you with open arms for your ability to show such courage and strength in such an impossible situation. Thank you Scott and everyone like you who value human life and what is right over money, power, and personal agendas. Now let us unite together as one and put the elephant where it belongs once and for all!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!

Do not believe this McClellan guy? He is simply trying to make a name for himself. We have heard this story before, and frankly, who cares? No one is going to do a thing about George W. Bush, and he will NEVER get impeached.

The only way we can ever hurt Bush is to get bigger people to hurt him for us. How do we do that? Easy! Let's stop shopping at certain stores or spending money with certain businesses (i.e. Wal-Mart, Exxon, Kroger). We can choose any stores, just make sure that they are ones in which people heavily invest. The stockholders and owners will then demand that action be taken against Bush. I'm talking about a six month hardcore boycott. Trust me, it will work.

The truth is the lies did not begin with the Bush administration. Seems Republicans have been hoodwinking us for some years.

Truth '08

Tell the truth shame the devil. Bush is the Devil.

Dole is obviously peeved at McClellan. I have no problem with anyone coming out with the truth as long it is the truth.

As the saying goes "The truth will set you free" . If there were lies and cover ups in the Bush administration and if it comes out so be it.

The President was not elected or hired by "the people" to prosecute his own illegal agenda. The People of America are the ones who are in charge not the President because he works for us. It is at the will of the people that President Bush was given the mandate to govern honestly. That is the contract and if in future, information is uncovered which proves any wrong doing, then there should be consequences. History will in the end, be the judge of this administration.

Isn't it about time that Americans really carefully analyse the candidates that they are considering? It just seems as if we are all being manipulated by advertisements where the substance of each candidate is only glossed over.

Bush was an inexperienced candidate in 2000 and we elected him over Gore because Gore seemed to be less popular, boring, stiff but had great ides. He wasn't the guy that you could sit down and share a beer so to speak. It just seems to me that America is again making the same mistake in Obama. The difference is that when Bush took over, the economy was in great shape and we were not at war and he had a great start.

Now America is hell bent on voting in another novice because he says the right things and he sounds great on stage and he is the popular choice but not the best experienced choice. Just think if Gore had won would America be in this mess?? You know what the answer is.

If America picks Obama because he is the popular "in thing" with no basis other than that he wants change (change to what – please explain) , is that the wise choice at this time??? Do you think we should take that chance again? He has already made serious gaffs and right now America has to make good choices not take chances.

McClellan is the lowest type of vermin on the planet. Glad he's going to the Obama camp--hopefully he'll turn on Obama.

McClellan is a plausible witness. Everyone knew he was lying when he was the White House Spokesperson, everyone knew it was his JOB to lie. Now that he is a private citizen he can speak the truth. His testimony will be very valuable and interesting.

Questions
1. Should Obama have left the church because Rev. Wright was the pastor?
2. Should we all leave America because Bush is the president?

Hint: You must answer NO to both questions or YES to both questions.

Please Post This CNN!!!

Make sure you have people you can trust around you. McClellan. You are on the list.

You Black Liberation party supporter! I hope your book flops, you liar (either then or now – both??).

The truth hurts. We need people like McClellan in both parties. People in Washington have forgotten who they're are serving. Their only loyalty is to the American people...but that has been forgotten long ago. Loyalty to Bill Clinton...Judas if you disagree. Miserable creature if you're loyal to the American people but not George Bush. I think we deserve better than this.

McClellan is a plausible witness. Everyone knew he was lying when he was the White House Spokesperson, everyone knew it was his JOB to lie.

McClellan IS A PIG. Now he is hinting at supporting Obama. Good for him – we don't need this weasel in the Republican party. Obama can have him any day – the disloyal piece of shmack.

ROCK IT!

Looks like he's telling the truth to me.

Maybe it's time to suponea GW Bush and John McCain and see if they'll finally tell the truth.

Ouch!! That must hurt!!

...which more then they can say for Rove, who should be locked by not but some how or another he isn't

Let the show begin...

Not a good thing for McCain to endure but will be music to Obama Campaign and bolster his judgement on Iraq war....

Woo Hoo! Get him up there.

My question to you is this; why will you wait until you have a book to sale before you come forward with these allegations. As much as I would like to believe you, I regretably think you are serving a selfish purpose.

Is this surprising... He already sold his sole to the devil!

Hillary 08

Scott McClellan is the most despicable, miserable person, and
definitely disillusioned character since James Dean ! A disloyal
employee who should have resigned or quit, if he didn't like the job
or people in the government, yet he stayed for three years, three
whole years !!! What a turncoat of our government and truely not
being in many of the meetings, a true turncoat to many, as a employee who could not be trusted as an employee of all that worked
in the the same Government !!!! Just to be a turncoat for Book deals
and make lots of Dollars !! I sure hope he gets enough out of the
money to have betrayed everyone !! Also, that he can look in the
mirror at himself !!!! A real traitor !!!!

Don
===================================================

Why do people act as though they're shocked over this. We all have known that this administration was corrupt from the very start with the 2000 elections. It was confirmed time and time again as the years past; from 9/11 through Katrina and still today with the misleading so called surge that we (the US citizens and Chana) are paying for to cease retaliations against us. Come on America wake up before it's too late!!!!

Good...he should. That will officially clear the air and put him under oath that his comments were true.

Too bad the White House is petrified and rightfully so and will ban him from any testimony according to their legal counsel.

Though Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neil, CIA director Tenent and all the others that said similar things about the most corrupt administration in history...I'm sure could take his place.

Good for you, Americans and the rest of the world deserve to hear the truth about the retched administration that has been in power 8 years too long. From Canada, thank you.

It does not surprise me to find out that the Bush White House would be involved in a culture of "yes men"...it just took one man to have the guts to come forward, as he should.

Bob Dole can call him whatever he wants, but the fact is that this is history and should be made public...it's no news to the public, just conformation of the terrible things that can go wrong in a country headed by a dictator, which is also why we have separate but "equal" branches of government.

Mr. McClellan, the American people would LOVE to hear about the most corrupt adminstration in modern US history.

We thank you for being so brave!!!

I'm not shocked to hear Mr. McClellan. He appears to be truthful and genuinely shaken by the way he's been deceived by a person he trusted, Mr. Bush.
Mr. McClellan, we all knew this and sorry for thinking you meant to deceive us all. We now know you...
The question is:"Where do we go, now?" We probably wished this was not true, but we have confirmation that the president, himself, committed a felony by authorizing to the cover of a secret agent... The highest office in the land is held by a felon... What message does it send to the american people if no action is taken?

Why is it so hard to believe that like all humans we make choices in life that we are not proud of and sometimes we find it hard to live with. I think that is what happened with Scott. His heart was heavy and he started to think of the crying mothers and fathers who had lost their children in a war that he felt was misleading and very deceiving. I believe he felt responsible to a certain point and wanted to make things right with the American people, himself and his maker. Why are the republicans so mad? Is it because they themselves have no conscious or heart, or maybe they are lead by greed, and loyallty to a man who wanted fame (Bush) on the blood and heartache of American soldiers and their families... Just sad... I commend you Scott for standing up against bullies.

Great Scott! He better get some body armor...

Glad the truth finally comes out

15 munites of fame should not be that important for you to bite the hand that fed you.

You have no morality. YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. You should have either left then, or spoken up then, but definitely not now.

I think you should stop making matters worse, and keep your trap shut.

This will be devastating for the Bush cabinet and Republicans. I admire him for doing what's right and honorable.

Cinton – Independent ; VP – McClellan!!! 08
(humor allowed in here?)

The Bush Administration is done for. Over. Finished. See you in Hague.

Say No to McCain

I am disappointed in Sen. Dole's base remarks. While I never agreed with him politically, I always considered him to be an honorable man who had served his country well. Now I see he is not of the caliber I once thought him to be.

Fascinating to see the administration apologists scramble to shoot the messenger instead of responding to any of his claims. Typical, yet still sad after seven long years.

This is a very brave man... A hero to come out against an administration that forgot they worked for the American People.
Most of the Republicans used the White House, Senate and House as they would some college frathouse and some used their postions to increase their wealth . Others used it to settle old scores, abroad and at home Some republicans told the world that we would lead the world to democracy , peace and equality for all people no matter their religion, sex , race or station in life...
Then the republicans brought fear to America and never let it wain they knew a nation in fear will do whatever they wanted and what they wanted was war in Iraq but we had Afghanistan, but they shifted focus from the real criminal of all americans to a man who ruled a country full of oil, a man who some of these same republicans had been best friends with not so long ago who we were training and supplying with arms to fight in other wars..
Now here we sit, possibly about to hear from the inside .. And finally hear an answer or two to the many questions millions of Americans have been wanting hear, answers to why , who, when .
But the other side is gathering slowly trying to discredit the only man who was brave enough to speak up ....
He is a hero ... if Americans just looked back at the last 8 years of this presidency ... and the past decade of republican control ...
Where are we ? Are you proud of what we are doing ? Will you tell your children you were part of the solution ... or the problem ? Will you act or quietly sit and hope and pray that another acts.......?

How dare he betray the President and his administration. Why won't everyone just let Bush quash all dissent and turn us into an army of obedient drones? Why won't McClellan give him unwavering admiration like the rest of us good Americans?

Thank god, only a few more months until we get a competent Democrat in office.

McClellan -

Stand strong and be encouraged. Truth always causes the devil to raise up its ugly head. Washington is full of them especially in the Republician house. Nothing surprises me with these people. They are all a bunch of murders how can they exile one man for the samethings they are practicing; but hey this is America. We think we can do anything we want and rule anybody house we choose too. We need to stay out of other people business and stop trying to steal land, oil, and earthly possessions from everybody. We stole the very land we call America so nothing surprises me with this country anymore.

May God bless you and one day they all will have to answer to a God who is just and blameless when He judge and speak. Yes, when God make his judgement against America GREAT will be her FALL.

I want be surprised if this is not posted, because you all don't like truth you just like trash.

Its about time someone pulls the rug out from underneath the bush white house

Time to start the impeachment proceedings for Bush and Cheney. President Pelosi 2008!

He should had come out with all this before and he is as guilty as the others...just another person playing the fame game and NO Scott i wont buy your book..I will donate money to the Vets...maybe u should think bout it too

McLellan gave Bush his trust and the Bush team lied to him and pulled the rug out from under McLellan. It's refresshing to see some honesty in Washington. Kudos to McLellan for putting America first!

Mike

he just might say, we coddle certain mid-east governments, or he may choose to be koi, and choose his words wisely, as not to emblazen the left wing reporters who are just waiting for major slip-up; mccain couldn't handle the negative fallout..

I think it used to be, and correct me if I'm wrong here, that if you disagreed strongly enough with an administration under which you served and were close lipped. I'm not sure what has changed. Perhaps it was a terribly failed President that has pushed people over the edge. No matter what the case, I'm not sure if the term, "miserable creature", applies here.

I would be happy to have this guy arrested – if any of what he is saying is true....arrest Bush now.....along with him...he's also responsible – (let's see if that doesn't change his fairy tail)

YES!!!

Get Scott McClellan to testify.
Get Richard Clarke to testify.
Get Paul O'Neill to testify....

...and GET THOSE IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS STARTED ALREADY!!

IMPEACH BUSH/STOP MCSAME

Good. Someone willing to step up and take a punch in the name of Truth, Justice, and the American Way of Life.

I think that this should be fully investigated and those found to have defrauded the American people should be brought to justice even if it leads to the highest office held.

The perspective of someone with an axe to grind possibly?

congratulation brave man. this administration is so bad they took a country in a endless war that cost over 600 billion. a lie war.

Hooray for Scott McCellan. Maybe at long last we will get to the bottom of this disgraceful administration.

Testify? This guy should be subject to prosecution himself. Anyone with a brain bigger than a mosquito's knows he spent years telling deliberate lies on behalf of the President. He is no hero now, simply for revealing something everyone already knew...

WOW

I am simply astonished that not one report is being made about the LACK of outrage from the Republicans that this White House has now been caught in it's lies and propoganda and sent over 4000 U.S. men and women to their graves as well as thousands of Iraqis and service people of other nations.

I am astonished that the Republicans are mad about someone actually demonstrating to them what a true patriot is, namely someone who puts himself in such a terrible situation to point out what some of the most powerful people in the world did to this country!

How outrageous is it that the Republicans are expressing NO DISMAY at the loss of SO MANY LIVES! What is wrong with these people!! This isn't some flippin football game, these are our lives!

Toss them all out! Left, right, anyone who has forgotten that they are SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE needs to GO! And the media, and pundits who cheer this disaster on need to get the boot as well!

I know executive privalige can prevent people from testifying when they dont want to testify (Rove). But can executive privalige prevent a willing witness to NOT testify?

What a dirt ball – Every administration has stories to tell. Just imagine if each press secretary wrote a tell all book about their days in the White House. Amazing what McCellan is doing for money and the timing of the release is just to sell more books.

This is the most disastrous, corrupt and immoral administration in US history!

Disgraceful!

I think it's about time to bring this bush administration to justice for their act. I will say enough is enough with this administration. they have done enough damage not only to their country (USA) but also to the rest of the world. Now we get to know more (from an insider) about what we knew before that this war was a propaganda. Thanks to Scott. The going says "it's better late than never" and what goes around comes around.

This administration came up with his intelligence convincing everyone that iraq had WMD, was a threat to our safety, got congress to vote for the war, now more than 4000 dead soldiers later we find out they made this whole thing up.

Looks like an impeachment is on the way

go for it.

You are not a miserable creature. You are an American with a right to write truth.

I think it's important we know the truth and he gets to testify.

And the next President and congress can bring the criminals of the past eight years to justice. Which may include Bush and Cheney.

Boy, the media is trying to crucify McClellan. If the book was a negative book about Clinton or Obama, the media would be chomping at the bit and not asking questions that are really trying to paint McClellan in a better light.

I don't expect CNN to post this, however, I thought I would give it a try anyway.

CNN, and especially old Wolf Blitzer are trying to help McCain. I believe old Blitzer is a very good friend to the Traitorous Lieberman.

I am glad he came out with the book. I believe what he writes in this book. He could not come out before, he would have of coarse been fired, so he had to waite until he felt like it would not hurt him. I am just glad he did it, it re-enforces what we all thought anyway. I don't think Dole should be talking about any "miserable creature" unless he is addressing the issue of ED.

Of course Republicans are gonna blast him!!.. They are all very loyal to one another.. But in my opinion they all need to get their head our their As#$s and realize it's not about Party, it's not about loyalty, it's not about power, or greed, (shouldn't be anyway), race, sex, gender, it's about the AMERICAN people who live and have come to this country trying to live the AMERICAN DREAM as the greatest country on earth!!!...

They are gonna do what they have to, to discredit him and make him look dishonest, but i believe the guy!!, thought that way anyway, and even think the ppl in the White House believe him and know he's right, but wanna save their political butts and back the Prez, which is admirable, and i'm not sure i wouldn't do the same thing..!!!

But there's a bigger point here.. and it's the American PPL and uncovering the Veil of secretism that has ppl doubting and not believing in the govt. that is supposed to be for the People By the People!!!

Scott McClellan to testify?

Do we remember what happened to the DC Madam?

Suicide-yeah right-that was a hit to protect politicians. Anyone who follows this stuff knows it.

Wow!!!!
I sure hope this guy makes a lot of money on this book, because his political career is over. Most of his personal friends have turned away from him. Regardless if it's the truth or not, this guy is in it for the money. Gave up everything else in life for the possibility.

I applaud his courage to stand up against the white house and for what he felt he has done wrong to the American People. I only hope that he testifies soon, so that Bush would become impeached. Granted he already has a terrible impression upon the American people of today, but he should not be remember as one of the 15 presidents to serve full two terms. He should live with the same legacy of Nixon, a conspiring president brought up on impeachment trials.

Scott McClellan has only confirmed what we have known for years. As for Bob Dulls comment, he is a fine one to talk about miserable creatures.

This is a good sign and best for the public who is often blinded with the reality behind close doors. Yes good in a way that who ever is making decissions that effect the lives of Americans should have this in the back of thier minds in the future. There may be a McClellan in thier team.
Loyalty does not mean hiding the facts.

GO MC! I mean, he just said what we all knew. I wish they would have impeached Bush and Cheney a long time ago!

Scott is pitiful. He was not privy to the inner circle of information and now apparently needs cash. If Bush was “mislead� by the intel, then so was Clinton, Tony Blair, and George Tenet.

I hope Scott enjoys his 15 minutes of fame (or shame) because he’s going to be on the crap list of everyone he’s ever known after this. Give me a break!

You make me sick Scott.

CNN stop wasting time on this opportunist, greedy, unstable joke.
It is amazing that you are interviewing this clown on a daily bases repeating the same bogus statements.
If this is not biased programming I don’t know what is?

Scott at least tell us what was your price? How much did you sell yourself for?

This is the beginning of crimal war crime charges being brought against the Bush administration. McClellan is gonna get up there and sing like Frank Sinatra

"Start spreadin' the news...."

God bless you.

McClellan should be quesstioned about 9/11 . Was 9/11 self inflicted (contract with the Saudis) as a provocation for the Iraqi Invasion?

McClellan is the only one with a conscious that's why this is happening.

It's a great day when the truth gets out. If we didn't live in a free society people like McClellan would probably be killed off, just like they do to reporters that go to far in Russia.
I think this is a great opportunity to learn more about what happened behind the scenes.

Bush and Cheney need to be tried for War Crimes

Scott, you are a TRUE American HERO and a PATRIOT!!! We ALL SUPPORT YOU!!

Good for McCellan. I have heard all the people saying he should have spoken up when it was going on or quit. Maybe so but I believe in redemption and if he came to it late, at least he came to it. Now, if Pelosi and Reid just have had half the guts and started impeachment, this country would be back on the track.

Stay away from planes, NRA meetings long walks in the woods with Dick Cheney .....

CNN please post,

Why Is McClellan being treated like a criminal when he is the one going to bring out the truth about our so-called patriotic president and his clan of idiots. McClellan should be championed. Come on Dems out there where are your balls! Finally someone tells the truth. Maybe freedom of speech will be respected again in this country.

Personally, I think Scott is a hero!

To ANYONE who honestly thinks this guy is making things up:

are you nuts, too? After all the lies and propaganda that Bush & Co. has put out there, we are surprised by this?

I praise your willingness and ability to open to the public the truth abouth this administration. I implore you to continue with every and any disclosure possible, in any manner, that can and will lead to the consequences deserved by everyone at every level that has, and consequentially will have, devastating effects on this Nation and every American for years to come. I am confident it took a lot of soul searching and great personal and professional difficulty to come to the decision, process and result(s) that you have achieved. Don't hold back. Get the others, as I am confident there are, to join you.
Don Bryan, Master Sergeant, U. S. Marine Corps, Retired

Testify under oath and we will start taking you seriously!!

The funniest thing about this whole McClellan book is that all of the right-wingers are all lacking one major element in their denunciations:

A DENIAL

They all belittle the man, but not a single one challenges any of the facts that McClellan presents. It's what they are not say that speaks volumes.

I'm just an ordinary citizen and am not involved in politics. But, anyone can see that this creep, is out to make some quick money. I will not waste my time reading his book. I hope that Judas, enjoys his money.
I, totally agree with Dole, he is a miserable creature.

“There are things we did right and things we did wrong. I think the american people see that I do regret that I didn't realize some of the things I did then.�

And you can read about all of them for only $29.95... now at Amazon...

Wink Wink....

Scott,

I once loathed you for being a Bush spokesman, but you have redeemed yourself as a TRUE American. You are exactly what this country needs right now and I hope others come forward to back your claims. Anyone who criticizes you for releasing this information is in denial of the truth. Don't let Bush censor you. Enjoy the book sales and reviews. Thank you.

-Sean

Scott McClellan is the two-faced, turncoat of the bigest, miserable
creature, MOLE

its so funny that these republicans are calling him names and saying he did it for money. bush's approval rating is an all time presidential low, people with half a brain can tell the country was bamboozeled into this war and now this book backs it up and all the conservative/republicans can do is whine and cry about it. its so funny that you people that support this distorted veiw cant see ANY corruption in this multi-billion dollar spending administration. they dont think there is any corruption involved with cheney and how he owns stock in defense contractor companies like haliburton before and after the war, which he reaped millions off of. but they will be the first to call mclellan corrupt. they will be the first to say this guy is lying in his book about the facts. i am so happy these people will not be deciding who the next president of the united states is. finally some decency might be able to come back into this government. i hope obama or hillary overhauls the whole thing!!

You go McClellan. Testify to All on the so called "Bush Administration".

We deserve the truth to be told – and they deserve to have to sit back and watch as their empire of corruption crumbles.

Obama '08

Don't anybody listen to the message. It might spoil your pristine little minds.

Let's just shoot the messenger instead, like we did with all the other ones! U.S.A.!! U.S.A.!!! U. S. A.!!!!!!

Thank you Scott McClellan. Hopefully more people will speak up and tell the truth.

Keep your chin up Scott. Remeber people have died because of this admins deception and policys. It does not get any worse than that. What you a facing and going thru pale in comparision. Please testify people need to be help accountable for what they have done.

This has all the makings of a Tom Clancy novel.

Ugh... it's one thing to genuinely want to expose Bush for his crimes that justice might be done on DC, but it's another to do it for the sake of being a celebrity and getting a few $$$.

The man tells the truth, sure, but he does it for the wrong reasons.

Obama supporter? Of course. Everybody supports Obama. Why? Because we need lower gas prices and also to be able to afford college for our children.

from his perspective? i wonder who told him what perspective that was. He is a sorry excuse for a man, My bet is he likes obama, all traitors/haters do!!

DEMOCRATES FOR McCAIN UNITE 08

Dope Head George, Condi, Quick Draw Dick, Dirt Bag Rove, Donald RumFool and some of you other CRIMINALS, might be going to jail. I wish they could take John McSame with them.

Scott McClellan, as all other non-essential pundits, have the luxury of taking a couple of years to make their decisions, and change their minds if they like. The president has to make his decisions "right now" and pray that they are the right ones. The whole world reacts to what the president of the United States says. No one reacts to what Scott McClellan, Obama, or Clinton say. They can say what they want; what the voters want to hear; and let the president take the heat. Most of President Bush's decisions are right on target because his philosophy and core thinking are correct. I just hope and pray that our next president is just as quick to decide, and that his/her decisions stand the test of time.

I don't think I've ever been so happy to hear a rat squeal. Thanks, Mc. Also, I don't know why all the uproar is about. Bush and the Repubs act like we didn't already know he was full of crap. It's just good to hear one of them finally admit it.

oh wow.

Disgruntled former employee much?

Makes me really wonder what's been going on in the White House the last 7.5 years...

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Henry David Thoreau
US Transcendentalist author (1817 – 1862)

I am proud of Scott for educating the people of our country ....People deserve the truth.

Time to get to the bottom of the Bush-Cheney-Rove administrative abyss of ethics!

Dole is calling McClellan a miserable creature,,,, Dole defends the worst creature, Bush!
I am proud someone is finally speaking truth to power!

I guess the chickens are coming home to roost after all, McClellan having a change of heart. Better to get it off his chest now, then to die with no honor. Maybe he will join the left of the party now.

I guess Bob Dole's way of thinking about McClellan's book is just like that saying about Vegas "What happens in the White House stays in the White House". Dole sounds like a miserable creature, I wonder why.

McClellan keep up your good work. Keep saying the truth to clear your conscience.

Has anyone else noticed that all the criticism of McClellan is personal. Nobody has come out and said that he lied. Nobody has refuted any of his claims. Nobody has said that his claims never happened. Funny that, isn't it? Back when Woodward and Bernstein uncovered Watergate they sat in Ben Bradlee's office and railed about "non-denial denials" from the Nixon administration. McClellan is telling the truth, and they "can't handle the truth."

For serving dishonorably in the most dishonorable White House in U.S. history, McClellan has done the most honorable thing!

I'm happy that anyone is willing to tell the truth about this administration UNDER OATH since so many currently in this administration refuse to do so. What are Bush and Cheney and then, of course Mr., formerly of the administration, Karl Rove so afraid of happening?

WOW!!

Bring the house down!!! If this guy is willing to go under oath, especially before November, and testify to the truthfulness of this work, then a German Shepherd will be able to beat McCain.

If you are willing to write a tell all book about an administration, you better be prepared for federal testimony in front of congress.

Makes you wonder why this guy choose to do this now? Either way, he may be telling the truth... question is, are we prepared for the dirty answers that will arise???

Bob who? He has not even read the book!!

First he is no longer relevant except in his own mind. Secondly, it just shows the miserable state of our political affairs that each party often finds it more convenient to just hunker down and tote the party line than to seek the truth. Sounds more like a Totalitarian state that it is more important to be a loyal party member. This administration has done some very miserable things. If the Republicans are to re-deem themselves, they are going to have to own up to a lot of the abuses they have perpetuated during the Bushy years.

No doubt he'll expose some miserable creatures: George Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.

And the truth shall set you free...truth is a higher calling

I just want to emphasize that none of Mr McClellan's critics are disputing his claims, they are just calling him names.

So its up to us to decide... Do we value loyalty to a President or loyalty to the American People more?

Bob Dole is a terrible, terrible man, and he has become an apologist for the worst presidential administration in the history of our country. While I think it's usually dangerous to speculate on what the dead would think, I have this sneaking suspicion that Barry Goldwater is looking down rather angrily at his old Senate friend, wondering when in the hell the Republican Party became the party of lies, scandal, and betrayal.

You are a good man Mr. Scott McClellan do not be intimidated by the the lying Republicans (false christians) who support and work for this admistration. I am glad you finally came out clean we all make mistakes, but God will forgive you for your repentens and honesty do not worry about any one else.

Thank you Scotty. You did the right thing. I am not too concerned about your timing. Bob Dole need to take his medication and get off the viagra.

Money! I think I'll write an expose about my parents and make it sound really salacious! See if I can make a buck or two also.

Strange how brave this man seems all of a sudden.

Lies and deceit, durinf wartime, from the Neo Cons infesting both the Executive and Legislative Branches is Treason!
Aiding and abetting Treason by deliberate inaction by the Democrats leads one to believe they are also in Conflict of Interest and Collusion so they must be replaced so we can begin to reset the same United States Constitution to one the Founding Fathers fought and die for!!

It will be interesting to see if this book/story gets some coverage...but unless more critical talking points come out I fear the Democratic nomation process and the following general election will drown out this story.

LIBERALS (and others) – Do not buy Scott's book, and make him millions of dollars in the process. He consciously misled the American people. I don't give a crap if he's been converted. Again, do not buy this book! At most, rent of from a library or something.

If he is telling lies SUE him but if he is not and they don't we should sent Bush to JAIL. He caused so many deaths for his own little thrill.
So now its not cool to be a SNITCH? So we should tell everybody not to speak up against crime and the ones that commit them. This country is going down the tubes. Rove and the rest of the klan can do what ever they want and not pay for it even if it cost American lives. WHAT?
Clinton has proven that this country has no rules as long as you can get away with it or win. Wake up AMERICA

Bob dole is right. McClellan is just one more greedy pig who if he had disagreed should have resigned from the administration. Funny how the Left is grasping at this like a dying man to a life raft. Just goes to show why even with all the chances they get the Dems will once again lose the Whitehouse come November to the better man. Welcome to President McCain. Reagan Democrats will once more turn away from a far leftest radical like Obama. Funny how McClellan seems to support Obama huh? Keep cashing the checks scotty your 15 minutes is almost up lol

Just an FYI….CNN needs to capitalize "american" in this text in a paragraph near the end, or you know it will get mis-construed as McClellan's fault or some weird mistake on your part.

Thank you, Mr. McClellan, for telling the truth. It can no longer be said that all Bushies from Texas are corrupt liars.

Dole lied in calling McClellan a miserable creature. He is not. We are fortunate Dole was not elected president - to a lesser level of deceit, Dole told us after taking money from the tobacco industry that its uncertain whether smoking causes cancer. Another lie.

I am very surprised about the attacks from the Old Republicans towards McClellan
If the guy took the time to gather all the infos and tell the truth, where 's a problem with that?
You lots republicans are frustrated because Scott told the TRUTH, and we know the TRUTH hurts...None of you can't contradict what he said, you are just calling him names... Well if you have a point you would have made, just let the truth come out.
I will be among the first ones to buy this book even though we know what's in there, just need to read more about the mess that Bush and his advisors have led us into
God help the USA

Way to Go Scott!!... We all Applaud you for your truthfullness, and your desire to make sure the truth is heard!! Keep up the good work, and let the games begin!

Good and I hope that they will call him and get some straight answers about a lot of things that have been said and done.

Just an FYI....CNN needs to capitalize "american" in this text in a paragraph near the end, or you know it will get mis construed as McClellan's fault or some weird mistake on your part.

Bravo Mr. McClellan for admitting the truth behind this sorry administration.

I am glad Scott McClellan is not my friend. I don't want a knife in my back!

Seriously, I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but this McClellan guy is a total shill. He's doing nothing but reveling in his 15 minutes of fame.

Frankly, I agree with Bob Dole – If I had known the truth in the W White House and didn't say anything, I wouldn't be too proud of myself for writing a book about my private disagreements now that 4,000+ American troops are dead.

amazing how bipartisan this issue can get, when in effect, McClellan stood up for the American people to reveal truths manipulatively hidden from us. that administration was voted in to REPRESENT Americans, not GW's wet dream. and it's GOOD to have an insider confirm what we all suspected. I don't give a rat's if your republican, democrat, or giraffe, it doesn't matter. this is about ethics, and it looks like McClellan found his standards. finally.

Sounds like he's trying to come clean. That's a rare sight in this administration.

Go away! These are no news!

McClellan should testify under oath. It's time we all hear the truth about what's going on with Bush and his team. I'd also like to hear what the other side has to say, also under oath. However, who knows whether anyone is telling the truth under oath.

This country needs to be open and honest about its gov't.

That includes the ugliness that surrounds Bush and his hacks.

McClellan has revealed new stuff to add to the bad stuff about Bush that we already knew.

I would love to see McClellan testify!

I pray congress asks him to testify along with others. I bet if it was Clemens the date would be announced already.

Typical response by Bush supporters. When they are cornered by truth, the 28%ers attack the messenger in the delusional fantasy that truth doesn't exist separate from a messenger.

Uh-Oh.............I'm out!! (Running o the car........starting the car...........hitting the gas!!!!)..........

I hope Mr McMclellan doesn't have the "sudden urge" to "commit suicide" between now and any hearings...

Well if he is willing to testify, he is a better man than Carl Rove. He refuses to say one word under oath. And it seems that our Congress is unwilling to make him. What a shame.

Nothing more enjoyable than watching these Republicans squirm. I believe an impeachment or war crimes trial are in order.

Do not judge the speck in your brother's eye, but rather the mote in your own.

maybe he should tesity.... let al lthe repub dirt out.... so all the Hillary Supporters who are voting for MCSAME can see how deep the rabbit hole goes.....

A vote for MCCAIN is a vote for your kids, grandkids and great grandkids to be killed by roadside IED's when MCCAIN enacts the DRAFT in 2010.

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.

I believe him completely. We all know the bush/cheney/mccain republican machine lied through their bleached teeth. Remember mcwar coming from Iraq saying how safe it was? Why does he keep opposing all these GI bills? Republicans are disgusting!

I am so glad McLellan is willing to testify. Lets get a congressional hearing. Lets get him under oath so he can hang himself. He has no evidence at all except that he SAYS SO . This is a great way to discredit the guy and hopefully even catch him lying. Put the guy in jail.

McClellan.. I am IMPRESSED.... You ARE willing to testify.... (somebody better get this guy a flak jacket)

You go Scott! Take those corrupt SOBs down!

Reasons why Veterans, active duty personell, and anyone who cares about them should not vote for McCain:

*AWOL for May 22nd vote on GI Bill. Expressed opposition to bill saying "it was too generous to Veterans".

*Voted against Bill in September that would have mandated adequate rest for troops between combat deployments.

*Voted No on $1.5-billion increase for Veteran Medical services (money would have come from closing corporate tax loophole).

*Voted No on establishing a trust fund to bolster underfunded Veteran Hospitals.

*Voted No in May 2006 against $20-billion allotment for expanding Veteran Medical Facilities.

*Voted No in April 2006 to increase Veteran Outpatient care.

*Voted No in March 2004 another $1.8-billion reserve for Veteran Medical care (again funded by closing corporate tax loopholes).

Bottomline, McCain is more interested in taking care of big business then the men and women he wrongly sent to fight in Iraq.

Obama-Webb! Testify under oath? Wow, not that's saying something. That's a Democratic American for you, if you'd remember but let slide?
