They can smear him all they want. He only confirmed what most Americans already knew. Next step needs to be a deeper look into 9/11.

Folks, McClellan is going to be dragged through the dirt by the right wing media b/c of this honest book. they will say he is disgruntled, money hungry, or even mentally untsable etc... they all say 'this doesnt sound like Scott' or 'I'm puzzled' -PLEASE do not be brainwashed again with LIES. Do not be brainwashed by our right wing media, like FOX News... Think for yourself... Wake up... Do not believe the lies anymore.

What the hell makes any of you think you're qualified to say what's what in Washington? You don't know. You're just civilians. Stop making asses out of yourselves.

Let's not forget that when stuff like this happens, the President and all his cronies get together to develop an official "response".

Thats why Rove, Perino, Bush and other numbnuts in the white house all say the same thing about Mcclellan.

The Bushies do not allow differing viewpoints. Remember the last guy that differed with Rove and Rumsfeld was Colin Powell, and he was essentially fired from the Bush Administration.

Don't buy into it!!! Yes I do agree they are many rats in this administration - as well as the past. It's a shame, however, you believe that there should be no forgiveness for liars when they try to come clean (which is a bush admistration m.o.) when their rats jump ship. Don't forget its these very people that are the ones who can help reaffirm what we already know to be true. If none of these liars are to be forgiven than why bother?

Scott McClellan is just a rat trying to jump the ship. He was the mouthpiece of the lies he now appologizes for. I think he should go down with the rest of these traitors of America. This should not absolve him of his treason. Nice try Scott.

Bush and gang are above the reach of the law. The Republic is over, this is not becoming rather is a fascist state.

dogswoof, McCain needs no help destroying his chances at winning. He knows NOTHING about the economy, was deeply entrenched in the S&L banking scandal and has more lobbyists working on his campaign than there are honest politicians in DC.

WE DON'T NEED MORE OF THE SAME. Good riddance.

Oh sure...Scott Mclallen should "have spoken up" like Joe Wilson did...? Or Richard Clarke..? The Bushies would have destroyed him...like they did Valarie Plame..?

BullsEye, Rosafanta. A kid at the time, I still remember the stories about US soldiers slaughtering children in Vietnam and the ferver it caused.

Realizing innocent Vietnamese blood was on all of America's hands is what set them to protest the wars. But with the help of the governments own people flooding America's streets with drugs and the media flooding America's minds with trash, is it any wonder the people are broken down mentally. America has hung itslef, both spiritually and finacially.

You don't lean towards conservative patriotism. You lean towards blind ignorance and tacit support of traitors. If you were a true patriot, then you would be opposing the people who are destroying the country that you purport to love, rather than defending them while they continue their work of killing it. They have already wiped their asses on your constitution. What more do they have to do to shock you out of your smug apathy? You are an accomplice to a crime. The crime is treason.
