Fucking Politicos making 'shocking' revelations years after the fact in order to sell books.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that someone from the "inner circle" is finally saying something. Never the less he's still a coward for not saying this years ago.
I wonder, if by chance the whole Iraq invasion had actually "worked" would he have still written the book?
There's a reason this administration goes through so many Press Secretaries. I imagine it's kinda like Jonestown or Scientology: they're ignoring or at least setting aside any argument that doesn't jibe with their preconditioned outcome. McCellan couldn't have stopped "drinking the Kool-Aid" until he left the compound.
And Politicos has a right to sell books. Nothing wrong with that.
but 20/20 hind sight is no comfort when you finally wake up and realize you helped in the destruction of your own country.
I would hope there are stronger people in power that stand up when it counts.
I can see your point shuac, tell a lie long enough and you will begin to believe it yourself...

Well said, sir.
I wouldn't be surprised if eventually all the blame will funnel and concentrate on one single character, when it reality it was a orchestra of failed principles and political opportunism.
Was he deceived when the number of American KIAs was 1000, still at 2000, 3000, 4000 and so on...
I see this as nothing more than saving his own ass, I'm just glad he is saying it.
but... it's good that he didn't STAY quiet, right?
Yes, they're just still going to be damned by historians for CYA handwringing after the fact.
Now, if he gives sworn testimony before Congress, and his testimony leads to the eventual arrest of the top officials responsible, maaaybe I'll cut him some slack.
He's gonna be getting an invitation to come before the House judiciary committee soon, so he's got an opportunity at that.
You missed the last 4 years of news because you were watching FOX News or listening to airhead conservative radio and now you are saying that thinking critically means giving the administration the benefit of doubt. There is no liberal conspiracy to make the administration look stupid and corrupt, they actually are stupid and corrupt. The reason it hasn't been brought out in the courts is because they are not models of efficiency and certainly not above political corruption. The administration's support network has to fall before the people inside do.
By who? Who has any power to put Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of these criminals in prison? Congress? Some international war crimes tribunal? puh-lease.
