Stop Spinning

I am having a very difficult time sorting out this Scott McClellan expose'. It seems odd to do this now and in the way he did. Like he's purging his soul or something for what he's done in the past. If it truly took him from 2003 til 2006 to realize what was going on, he's just not insightful enough for any position of public service, and even though politicians don't seem to remember who they do work for, they work for us. And the people that work for them, also work for us! He took this job to spin the war on us. The date alone indicates that! And in reading the defense and explanations today, from various people "in the know" at the White House, it seems even more confusing. Between confessing about the Plame deal and Iraq, Scott seems to have irritated just about every republican in Washington. I found Dr. Rice's comments interesting as she referred to the concern about Iraq in 2001 and 2002. It wasn't that long ago. I thought America had bigger issues, like 9/11, than a potential accumulation of weapons not aimed at us. So clearly, declaring war on Iraq, according to Dr. Rice was in the works in the very early days of the Bush administration . . .
Oh, and now Michael Chertoff says alQaida is nothing compared to Hezbollah. Great! And America is defending the government of Lebanon that gives them a seat of political power. I think what's left of this administration better compare notes and get their stories straight. Sure looks like Scott did.
Yesterday when I heard about this book, I thought "Good, I'm glad somebody has the guts to tell it!" Then I read the excerpts and the time frame and I just think Scott is an opportunist that spent 3 years sucking up and now he's selling out. He's going to cash checks for being disloyal twice. First he did the spin for the administration on "we the people" and now he's sold out his old cronies and who's buying his book? Some of "we the people." It hit the best seller list at Amazon.com, already!
He says he's doing this because of his religious beliefs . . .
My religious beliefs say "Let your yea be yea, and your nay be nay." If he really resigned because of his conscience, he didn't need to wait another two years and sell a book. We already know, he knows how to organize a press conference.
Buy the truth, and sell it not . . . a Proverb of Holy Scripture
