High gas prices piss them off - and it should - but they'd be willing to trade us torturing and invading and whatnot if it would slide back to a buck or two a gallon and stay there, whether they admit it or not. <BR/><BR/>I'm all for fighting the good fight, I just don't expect to win in the long run.

I just found it funny that the guy who put out a book in a political season, ripped Clarke for doing the same damn thing in this political season. Everything the administration is throwing at him in terms of muck are the same EXACT things they threw at Clarke. <BR/><BR/>That being said I agree with the fact that we need more of these top tier guys telling their stories. I hope the smear machine won't discourage others from the administration to tell their stories as we all need to know so we can learn how to thwart them in the future.Braddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169256602548952339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3108069754129942962.post-69188525485736321002008-05-30T00:07:00.000-07:002008-05-30T00:07:00.000-07:00i disagree with your "get bent scott" sentiment. ...i disagree with your "get bent scott" sentiment. we all know these losers are scumbags and liars, and sure, scott is as duplicitous as the rest. the important thing here is that even though we may have known definitively the white house blatantly ignored facts and cherry-picked information to draw their conclusions they submitted to the american public (read: lied to us in the most calculated way), and even though mcclellan is an a$$hole, the public needs to again and again be reminded until they realize the truth. mcclellan's plainspeak does not tiptoe around the heart of the matter as much as other former insiders who were published before him. so even if we can't 100% trust everything he says or his motivations, you and i both know that the finger he is pointing at the moon gets the public a little closer to reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
