The big news here is not that Bush, Cheney and other lied and deceived the nation. The big news story is that someone as 'high-up' as McClellan is calling them on it.

Although, there will be some that argue that he's just doing this to sell his book.

Scottie doesn't know !

This is a belated attempt to wash the blood of 4000 soldiers and 100 000 civilian lives lost in a propaganda-driven war.

You can't take it back Scottie. You were the face or the mouthpiece of that war.

Where are those republicans that posted on the Auschuwitz/ Buchenwald blog about Obama?

That is nothing compared to who you support...yeah...you supported Bush for 8 years and allowed him to demolish the constitution and tear down this country. HHUMMMM! I guess people are better known by the decisions they make.

The truth keeps coming out slowly about how "Tyrant" Bush has mislead us purposely into the idiotic war in Iraq. So nice to see McClellan now throw the Tyrant under the bus as was done to him. Let's hope we get to hear more about the illegal activities of the worst president in American history!

Isn't it ironic that this criminal wrecking crew of democracy was supposed to bring back honor and integrity to the White House?

Can someone say "impeachment"? I wish Congress could...

Yeah, he was the mouthpiece - but what did you expect? That is what being a press sec. is. Keep in mind, though, how fast GWB and his cronies tend to torpedo ANYONE who got in their way and actually speaks the truth. Maybe he wanted to wait to write the book to make sure he was financially secure before they ruined him.

Not defending his actions, just a thought.

sotiredofignorance — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:41:56 GMT

Did people really not know this and have to be told by McClellan? I thought it was pretty clear at the time it was happening. No surprise here, though David Gregory, who was the only one in the press that tried to call the administration on it's behavior must feel vindicated.
On another matter:
Dear Really:
Thank you for taking my quiz, for you make my point. If you start out with a false premise in an analogy, your "analogy" is false. It was not that Chamberlain talked with Hitler that causes him to labeled an appeaser, it was because he ceded land and lives. But, he was not necessarily badly thought of in his day. He served during WW 2 as a part of Churchill's War Cabinet. He did not slink off into the dark.

Just because you say Senator Obama is weak does not make it so. And just because you say that Chamberlain had no further role in the war does not make that so either.

Everyone knew shrub was lying like a rug, but it's nice to have an insider confirm what everyone knew. I'm frankly more interested in the men in the shadows, Rove and Cheney, the guys who REALLY run things, but leave no fingerprints. It's those guys I'd like to see indicted for treason in the Plame case. Bush lying is small change---everyone knew he was bs-ing the U.S., that's a no-brainer. Rove and Cheny are the real villains of this particular piece.

Dave, Tn — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:50:47 GMT

One of the biggest mistakes Bush made was having this twit as Press Sec. If he had someone like Tony Snow instead he could have prevented some of the lies from piling up so high. This "book" sounds like it could have been gleaned from the NYT op-ed pages. Kind of like that stock op-ed they keep around to have different people step forward & sign. This could just be another case of NewSpeak trying to "frame" something before it happens just like different reports from the past. Blast it on the headlines days in advance and never go back. Don't blame us for Bush when all you offered was Gore and Kerry.

I hope every American, particularly republicans and Bush supporters give serious attention to this news. What a disgraceful coward Scott McClellan is...not for his turn on Bush but for his disregard of the truth. If this man uses one cent of profit from this book for anything other than helping the families of fallen soldiers or victims of Katrina he's beyond contempt.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Mr. McClellan for exposing the truth that I know I have believed about the bush administration for a long time. I have sat back in awe and amazement at how so many people could be decieved and led astray. The evangelicals are the only reason bush was put back in office. The abortion issue is bigger than anyone campaigning recognizes. That is exactly why the flip on mccain's stance. Again, Thank you for telling the truth --I feel vindicated. I haven't felt like I have had a president in 7 long years. Bush has never been nor will mccain ever be my president.

That we should bury the past, that digging into this will only rip this Nation apart. Real healing will come with Real justice. We need to make sure no future Administrations ever attempts to do what these men have done. They need to be held accountable.

Is it really too late to impeach Bush and bring this whole administration to justice?

This is like a gangland story. A really nasty Bob Hoskins could play Bush. This validates everything I felt, emailed and voted against during the two terms. We have no moral authority vis-a-vis other democracies or autocracies. The only thing that hasnt come out is Bush's possible involvement in rubbing out enemies.

How could over 50% of the people be manipulated so slimily over two terms? No, Virginia, democracy is not necessarily the best system(or even less worse than all the others) when money, greed, powerhungriness and psychopaths control things. For those of the evangelic bent and other readers of the left behind crowd, yes, Bush has been Carpathia and you supported him. Or, was he Lex Luthor?

Go, Barack and the new brooms to sweep out this garbage.

I don't think we'll learn anything we don't already know - or at least suspect. We've got some major problems here in the US and I'm not sure that any of the candidates for president can clean this up. The clean-up *must* be exacted by the people! We have to take control of this situation, folks, or we're gone. Simple as that.

Valerie Plame outed herself when she made political contributions and listed a known CIA front as her employer. Furthermore, the identity of the "inside" man who was the first member of the White House Staff to "confirm" her "secret" identity was known the moment the investigation opened.

Scott is just looking to sell books and is telling the rabid public who buy such junk exactly what they want to hear. Most of the critics and pundits have no clue what a real dictatorship is.....

Scott McClellan is only confirming what seventy percent of the country has already figured out. Bush and Cheney are brutal warmongers, pure and simple. I was saying that way back in 2003. They cherry picked the intelligence and told lies and distortions to the American people.

The Amish have a solution for this. Just shun the man. Bush need never attend any fund raisers, after dinner speeches, or be asked his opinion on world affairs again. Once out of office he should be forgotten. His world should be limited to his ranch in Crawford which is the limit of his intellect anyway. Given his ego, this would be the most painful judgment we could impose.
