I really have no use for Scott McClellan. That said, his book has pushed the politics of the Iraq war front and center again. Seemed the traditional media, most of which never questioned the start of the war, had lost interest in continuation of the endless war. But, Scott's telling of the propaganda effort to sell the war has forced the DC pundit and press corps to pay attention -- and it's making GOPers to reiterate support for the debacle. On cue, Condi stepped out today:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended on Thursday the Bush administration's record in Iraq after sharp criticism of the war in a new book by a former White House spokesman.John McCain has been traveling around the country espousing his fervent support for Bush's war. Clearly, McCain wants to continue that legacy.
"We did some things well, some things not so well," said Rice, who was national security adviser when the Iraq war began in 2003. "The one thing that I am certain was not a mistake was to liberate the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein."
