McClellan memoir slams white house

Admirable but untimely. Mr. McClellan, it is a laudable and noble thing to try to clear your conscience over your part in this current administrations dealings, but a tad too late and certainly untimely. I would hesitate to ask how much you were paid to open your mouth and say all this now, with your book tour coming up, but that might suggest strong conservative, capitalistic, and maybe right wing tendencies on your part, which would mean this administration would have to applaud your efforts, and the liberal, leftist groups would have to acknowledge less than altruistic reasons for your dramatic outpouring of less than flattering facts about this white house's current tenants.
Motives aside... Here's the story...

McClellan says he believed Bush as war started
By David Jackson and Richard Wolf, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan, whose new memoir has sparked controversy about the Bush administration's plans before the Iraq war, said Thursday he is "disappointed that things didn't turn out the way we had hoped they would turn out" at the beginning of the administration.
McClellan, whose memoir claims the administration manipulated facts to "sell" the Iraq war, told NBC's Today Show that he became "increasingly disillusioned with things" during his time in the White House.
"My hope is that by writing this book and sharing openly and honestly what I lived and what I learned during my time at the White House that in some small way it might help us move beyond the destructive partisan warfare of the last 15 years," he said of the memoir, excerpts of which were first disclosed earlier this week.
