Scott McClellan: "Bush Sold War by Propaganda"

You gotta love it! The gentle, soft-spoken, former Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, is revealing way more than this Administration would prefer; and already, Mr. Karl Rove is denouncing McClellan for sounding like a "left-wing blogger." Ah yes, no evidence from Mr. Rove, just good ol' character assassination.

McClellan says that the Iraq war was sold to Americans via a "political propaganda campaign manipulating sources of public opinion," and confirms what we all knew: Cheney--who he refers to as the "magic man"--was steering policy from the shadows. McClellan says "the Iraq was not necessary," but that "top Bush aides had outlined a strategy for carefully orchestrating the coming campaign to aggressively sell the war."

In my opinion, McClellan is certainly not revealing everything. Where there's smoke, there's usually an inferno, if you investigate further. Still, this is an important step in the right direction.

Will it awaken the brainwashed Republicans? I doubt it. They'll believe anything Rove, Limbaugh, and FOXNews tells them. Hopefully, we won't see any more books like this from those loosely connected to theonomy.
