Bush Admin Lying Machine coming apart, Be careful whose bed you choose to lie in McCain Options

[Hellfighter]

So here we go;
Straight from the source like never before;
One of Bush's own about to reveal the whole Bush Admin/neocon lying machine scheme-
No surprise really -but now its about to be officially 'explored'.

some doubters may venture to say he's just selling a book - but he seems to be like Colin Powell and the Generals who criticized the Iraq war from its outset, a virtuous person who was slapped around by the neocon villains in the admin revealing the formerly deliberately obscured facts for themselves for everyone to judge-finally.

Well, so far the White House is spinning this as "he wasn't given this much information" and his former co-workers are saying "back stabber." Now, if he had made it all up, I think co-workers would say "liar", not "backstabber."

I think he's totally looking to make a profit from this, whether it's true, false, or just historical fiction. I think the only reason people write books, get them published, etc... is to make some money, unless he's trying to time this to add a speed bump to McCain's bid for presidency. I do agree that it could partially be a guilty conscience issue, one huge reason Powell vowed to never get into politics again. Kind of wish Powell would throw his hat in the VP pool, always thought he was very intelligent and had some good morals (probably why he left the political sandbox.)

Hey Pez!!! Good to see you again. It took me a year to finally not feel bad about changing from your sig you made for me to my new one!

Yes I know he's out to make a profit selling his book, however as you indicated also there are other personal reasons he set out to make the book imo.
Notice in my initial post I did stress he wrote the book, " not JUST for profit".... however in spite of that, the meaning still got twisted to mean that I said he wrote the book without no thought of profit in mind. Of course he could be looked upon as a traitor -no argument there -but so was Col.Stauffenberg when he joined the anti-Hitler plotters - treachery doesn't necessarily make the actor a bad person- as is being hyped up by McClellan's former staff mates who are in 'shock and awe' at his 180 turn on certain radicals amongst them. For him to spill his guts like that and putting out his neck so far, indicates an agenda beyond JUST profiteering from a book - and in the sense of shedding light into a dark corner of rats....imo

..........No one is claiming he is spouting lies. Nothing speaks louder than that.

And that says it all..... from my view.
