McClellan Admits He Was A Pussy

From the day late and a dollar short file:

"Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a new memoir that President Bush relied on an aggressive 'political propaganda campaign' instead of the truth to sell the Iraq war, and that the decision to invade pushed Bush's presidency 'terribly off course.'

The Bush White House made 'a decision to turn away from candor and honesty when those qualities were most needed' — a time when the nation was on the brink of war, McClellan writes in the book entitled What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception.

The way Bush managed the Iraq issue 'almost guaranteed that the use of force would become the only feasible option.'

'In the permanent campaign era, it was all about manipulating sources of public opinion to the president's advantage,' McClellan writes.

White House aides seemed stunned by the scathing tone of the book, and Bush press secretary Dana Perino issued a statement that was highly critical of their former colleague.

'Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House,' she said. 'For those of us who fully supported him, before, during and after he was press secretary, we are puzzled. It is sad - this is not the Scott we knew.'

Yeah, that's because the Scott McClellan you knew was a presidential syncophant that spread the propaganda to the press when he knew it was all bullshit. He shares the blood of 3,000 Americans and untold thousands of innocent Iraqis because he was too much of a pussy-boy to speak up. He was afraid to lose his job, and thousands have lost their lives as a result. He had the opportunity to speak up when it meant something.

Fuck off, Mr. McClellan.
