-----

Formerly a member of Bush's select, loyal inner circle, McClellan will speak with rare candor about his experiences as press secretary during the first three years of the Iraq War, one of the most challenging and contentious periods of recent U.S. history, as well as where he thinks the president and his top aides veered off course, and the lessons the American people need to learn as they choose a new leader - The Commonwealth Club of California

McFelon was a typical sycophant. Lick bum and make dollars (worth less today BTW) and then go and be the bold person breaking with the nuts once the jury is out. He is pathetic actually.

He knew what was going on..but of course at the time if he spoke out on his own moral principals he probably would have gotten fired.

I wonder what he would say about Iran....is that a "Necessary" war...??? Perhaps if you are Israel but Iran has never threatened the US.....

Exactly the same as Kucinich has rightly leveled against Bush and Cheney: lying to enter this country into an illegal war. F*** him and his pie-eyed, mealy mouthed, muddy-the-water "I was misled" line of B***S***. He knew good and god damned well what was going on.

McClellan is still a bit of a chump.

It does make you wonder...Are the powers that be using the momentum of anti-Bush sentiment to carry their agenda?

blah blah blah.... this guy is full of it, and should be prosecuted.
