    Ok, no disrespect to Ignoramus, but you are truly living up to your name. This has nothing to do with religion, Jews or otherwise. This has to due with the inner sanctum of power and privilege keeping that power and privilege. This is about dues and debts being paid by those in power and privilege to those who have invested interests in the oil market. Economic and militaristic domination. A global consortium of western and euro power structures. Also, are you in love with this guy or what?! This Scott idiot is only trying to minimize his role in this treasonous treachery like the rest of the tell all traitors who betrayed their country by silent complicity for the last eight yrs. Native NYker, I understand your anger. It was your city, your home that was devastated. But, I truly believe that we all want justice for the people and city of NY. But let true justice be done to those who died and still grieve for the monumental losses they suffered and I,m sure still do. You have to wonder why we were attacked w/ no provacation. There is so much more than we could possibly know or ever will. The answer lies w/ this admin., with the Bushes, with the bastions of the power players.

    We The People Of The United States Of America. "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." "Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star", 149 May 7, 1918

    THE CASE FOR TREASON UNDER THE RULE OF LAW!

    Commiting fraud in order to go to war. Treason by revealing Valerie Plame's identity in order to throw people off their trail. Obstruction of justice. Torture. Manslaughter. Propagandizing. Election fraud. Profiteering.
    The president was leaving an event in North Carolina, McClellan recalled, and as they walked to Air Force One a reporter yelled out a question: Had the president, who had repeatedly condemned the selective release of secret intelligence information, enabled Scooter Libby to leak classified information to The New York Times to bolster the administration's arguments for war?

    McClellan took the question to the president, telling Bush: "He's saying you yourself were the one that authorized the leaking of this information."

    "And he said, ''''Yeah, I did.'''' And I was kind of taken aback," McClellan said.

    "For me I came to the decision that at that point I needed to look for a way to move on, because it had undermined, I think, a lot of what we had said."

    McCain: THIS IS NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!

    McCain voted to send 4000 Americans to there death!

    A little-unnoticed civil lawsuit in Florida is shining a light on an unusual but hugely profitable Pentagon contract to ship millions of gallons of aviation fuel to U.S. bases in Iraq through the kingdom of Jordan.

    The deal involves a cast of influential characters, including the king of Jordan???s brother-in-law, who is suing Harry Sargeant III, a top Florida-based fundraiser for Sen. John McCain???s presidential bid.

    Al-Saleh alleges in the lawsuit that after he arranged the deal, he was cut out in a scheme meant to defraud him. He claims that he and Sargeant and the third partner, Mustafa Abu-Naba???a, a Jordanian businessman, had invested in IOTC Jordan in 2004. But, he says, Sargeant and Abu-Naba???a committed fraud by forming another company called IOTC USA in Florida without informing him and by channeling the Pentagon contracts through that firm. Al-Saleh is suing Sargeant, Abu Naba???a and the company for $13 million as his share of the profit from the 2005 contract, plus an unspecified amount of profit from the 2007 contract.

    THE MEDIA LET THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOWN BEFORE THE INVASION OF IRAQ. NOW THEY ARE LETING US DOWN AGAIN BY NOT FOCUSING ON THE REAL ISSUE HERE!

    1. In my opinion Dick Channey is the main culprit here; he pressured the CIA to come up with false and misleading rational to invade this country! Every time the CIA could not verify that Saddam Hussein had WMD???S, he told those involved that information was not good enough. Dick Channey should resign immediately from the Vice Presidency or Congress should start a formal investigation with hearings just like they did in the Water-Gate investigations.

    2. The MEDIA has to remember here a crime was committed pure and simple. We have to remember that over 4000 Americans Solders have died unnecessarily in this conflict. Over 30,000 more have had there lives changed for ever with causalities.

    3. Further John McCain, Hillary Clinton as well as the other members of Congress should apologize to the American people for there votes to allow this tragedy to happen. Those in Congress can redeem there creditability with formal hearings and pressuring Dick Channey to resign.

    4. Those families that have lost loved ones in this war should compensated for the lost of there loved ones. Further, those that have suffered causalities should be receiving compensation also.

    5. The MEDIA should have done substantive investigating pre-invasion of Iraq. Checked the information the White House putting out and verified the sources. The Media today has lost its way. Back in the 60???s, 70???s and even in the 80???s the MEDIA did not back down from White House pressure. Now they are easily intimidated by FOX News, Right Wingers and the current administration!

    I have four important questions for Bush, McCain and the GOP!

    1. Is Iran stronger or weaker since Bush???s invasions of Iraq?

    2. Has Osama bin Laden been killed or captured since Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    3. Are we paying more for gas now or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    4. Is our economy better of now or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    5. Is the White Houses creditability better now or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    6. Is the budget deficit higher now or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    7. Is the Middle East more peaceful now or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    8. Do we have more American Solders dead or before Bush???s invasion of Iraq?

    This WAR has cost us so much; it is unbelievable that damage that Bush administration has done to this nation. The saddest thing about this WAR most of the American cannot comprehend what has happen during the last seven years of this administration. Further, McCain wants to go down the same road! Go figure!

    The national nightmare will continue.

    Look how many people still support McBush jr and this Bush crime family.

    Mcwar is almost as popular as Obama or Hillary.

    No the national nightmare will be over when most Americans come to terms with what they have become after decades of conditioning by the capitalist media and the industrial military complex.

    Capitalism will warp the minds of its citizens with greed and desires for imperialism.

    The nightmare continues until most Americans repent for their imperialism and war mongering.

    Mcwar bombed men women and children and we called him a war hero.

    I don???t see the nightmare ending any time soon we prefer to blame our politicians

    This man is disgusting. His tattle-tale book is a rehash of old news and innuendo; why is it getting so much coverage? Left Wing MSM just can't help themselves I guess! Perhaps Mr. Soros is making sure he gets a return on his investment! As fo McClellan, he is a sniveling rat with no integrity, decency, honor or loyalty. Obvoiusly, he is PO'd his Mum did win her election and the President would not extend assistance. With all the problems facing America, there has got to be more interesting subjects that this traitor.

      you are probably just jealous you didn't do it first. but it is not treason to inform the public of treachery in the white house they are accountable to us not the other way around. More people should do it. I'm only disappointed that it didn't happen sooner. When it comes to outright lying to the public anyone that has the ability to report this should do so as soon as possible

    The American people should hold responsible The American Zionists and their friends the Charlatans turned Preachers. They sold Bush's war in their media. They supported Bush and Cheney unquestioningly. They turned a blind eye when our civil rights were trampled. Lets us call kissinger,Wolfowitz,Perle,Feith,Schumer,Lieberman just to mention a few Zionists and call Pat Robertson, Hagee and the rest of the Charlatans to account.

  • Posted By: CoastalGal @ 06/01/2008 4:22:28 PM

    The truth is ladies / gentlemen, whether people want to hear it or not, this situation was being orchestrated long before Bush came into office. Fact 1: US and British intel. knew back as far as '98' of the terrorist attack against the US. Fact 2: The Saudis are depleting their own resources because of their obscene, opulant lifestyles. Most of the money they've made is invested overseas in Real Estate and other holdins. Fact 3:
    Bush Jr. is indebted to the Saudi royals for monies invested in his failed business ventures. Fact 4: Bush Sr.
    is indebted to the Saudis and a good percentage of Corporate America for his failure in the first attempted Iraq invasion. Fact 5: France and Russia, not even a month before the current Iraq invasion were vying / bidding on the Iraqi wetlands / oilfields for developement. mmmmm....Fact 6: Bush Jr. / Bush Sr. are both heavily debted for all the favors, strings and outright, blatant theft of the 2000 elections. Fact 7: The bush / Cheney alliance has financial holdings in the companies that created and distributed the new voting box ballots in 2000...Jeb Bush was governor of Florida @ the time...how convenient. Fact 8: The Brit who was the only person who knew yay or nay whether there was WMD's commited suicide supposedly after his findings were contradicted. Fact 9: 15 of the 9/11 hijackers were of Saudi nationality, even the Saudis admit that. I could go on w/ more facts all day long. It is neither here nor there anymore. We are way past that phase. The Bush admin. got exactly what they wanted, a nation paralyzed w/ fear, revenge, grief, and horror that turned into a lynch mob mentality without first finding the facts. We have ultimately NO ONE BUT OURSELVES TO BLAME. Bush is not the idiot good ole boy that the public sees, who can barely, coherently give a speech or statement, and we as a nation, as a society have sadley and tragically underestimated this man in many ways. Those who tried to enlighten and educate us about these facts have had there lives and careers destroyed, as traitors and unamerican. We are as a society apathetic, arrogant and are willing to let others sacrifice themselves, so that the rest of us don't have to be bothered. Lets not also forget who helped Sadam Husseins rise to power and the overthrow of the previous Shah, the good ole USA. We reap what we sow people. Now it is time to move past all this and decide where our nation will go from here. If the citizens of this country had an interest in anything other than their expensive cars, plastic surgeries, inane celebutants, internet hookups and so on and so forth, we would as a collective nation demand the impeachment of Bush Jr. / Cheney and those in the know. These traitors should be tried for treason against this country and the peoples there of. Same goes for Tony Blair, Great Britain was a willing and able accomplice in this monumental scam.

    Scott comes from a distinguished Texan family and background. Socially he is the equal of ANYONE in Texas. Edducationally and intellectually he is superior to his superiors. It must have been galling for Scott to endure all those years listening to ignoramuses. He has now done his duty to his GOD, his CONCIENCE and his COUNTRY. This is more than can be said for his EX-superiors.

    Scott comes from a distinguished family and background. He has more education and better intellect than Dubya. It must have been galling for Scott to play second fiddle to ignoramuses. Now Scott has discharged his obligation to his GOD and COUNTRY.

    All of the right-wingers have thier tights in a twist over this book, but NONE of them have acccused little
    McClellan of being a liar.........

    I just hope Henry Waxman can get little Scotty to testify UNDER OATH for his subcomitee....could this be the "smoking gun" that brings down the Bush/Cheney crime family? Time will tell...................

    All the right wingers got their tights in a twist over this book , some were downright hysterical, but NONE of them has accused McLellan of being a liar....................

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 06/01/2008 1:43:29 PM

    I read somewhere that Scott's book is published by Public Affairs and he only got $75K - not millions... and so what if he made a lot of money from his book - isn't that what our economy is all about?

    What I object to is all those sports buffoons earning millions of dollars every year, and being called "heros" - they're idiots, druggies and big huge hulks without brains. Pay teachers more money - educate our stupid kids!! (not really, they're not all dumb, just kidding!)...

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 06/01/2008 1:36:54 PM

    Bush and Cheney should be tried in the International Court in the Hague for war crimes.

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 06/01/2008 1:36:16 PM

    The joke's on the US citizens who actually voted for (and vehemently supported) Bush. As if you'd have read an expose of Bushes back in 2000 election year, or 2004, and believed every word. I can't believe the electorate in this country is so ready to support such a loser - don't pick another one this year in McCain, poor guy is just too old for the job. Most Goverrnment workers are prohibited from applying for new jobs at age 65 and beyond - it's amazing that we don't limit our executive leadership that way too.

  • Posted By: ru4real6846 @ 06/01/2008 1:27:55 PM

    McClellan, we think, is telling the truth about Bush and his administration. Bush had NO reason to send our troops to war. It wasn't because of 9/11 but because of oil. Bush lied and has always lied to the American people ever since he cheated to become president. We all know that politics is crooked and Bush is the biggest crook ever. And the American people let Bush get away with all his lies. Bush is the WORST president this country has ever had. he's worse than Nixon and he was the biggest crook. Bush is an ass-hole who should have never been in office and should have been impeached years ago. Bush is a disgrace to this great nation of ours and to the American people. That's why this country is going down the toilet. Bush has screwed up everything this country stands for. Bush is a liar and always will be, just like his lying father. Bush should be shot for all the wrong he has done. Bush knew 9/11 was going to happen because the terrorist said if Bush gets in office, they would bomb us and that's just what they did. Bush has brain-washed a lot of people but he will NEVER brain-wash us, because Bush is a moron who doesn't know how to be president. We hope Bush rots in hell for all the wrong he has done. Go to hell, Bush. That's where you belong, you worthless piece of CRAP!

    I have to agree with joesix, almost. I don't find this man interesting at all. As with most of the Bush admins. who have left, resigned, kicked out or replaced...your books, testimonies, late breaking news flashes are 8 yrs. too late and millions & billions of dollars short and @ the expense of every American. Everybodys trying to pass the buck or make one, evade responsibility and accountability. This guys no different than the rest of the tell all idiot savants.

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 06/01/2008 11:28:10 AM

    I'd like to know if Bushes were behind the mysterious plane death of JFK Jr.
