Well they're at it again, the Bush administration has there thumb in yet another conspiratorial pie. The Associated Press reported today, that former White House press secretary Scott McClellan claims that the Bush administration went to any length to propagandize the efforts to go to war in Iraq. Now the popular media, instead of questioning the administration, instead sweeps it's short nets out to grab some Bush political insiders to downplay McClellan, in not only his claims, but also his character. I mean, really people, who would sit down to write a book in order to destroy their character, and what publisher in his ir her right mind would publish such garbage.
It's an utter outrage that the Bush administration can walk away from so much controversy, and not only have nothing to say about it, but go out and deface everyone who's against their policies, immoralities, and corrupt agendas. Writing a book is not easy, and writing a book about the corrupt behaviors of one of the most powerful men in the world is no laughable matter. Yes, most people would claim that it's political insanity/suicide to do so, but McClellan really doesn't have much to lose. Did Bush forget that Mr. McClellan jumped the administration's ship, resigning as press secretary back in Bush's midterm race. He left the Bush administration. Ask yourself why anyone would leave such a prestigious position, when there were no fingers pointed at him, and he wasn't involved in any scapegoat plot. Yet to this day 5 years later we still don't know why he left. Maybe we'll find out in the book. Wait, I know why! He left because he realized that as long as he worked for a war mongering liar of an administration, he could not sleep at night, nor live with his lies to the public. He was the mouth of the president to the press and the public. That's a lot of people to relate a lot of lies and propaganda to.
McClellan was the press secretary who had to deal with the question of whether Lewis Scooter Libby and cohorts (including Cheney and Rove), exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame. Every time this question was put forth, the secretary and staff agreed not to discuss it further. That was his job to discuss it with the press, not for the president's staff to block that transaction.
I applaud McClellan for putting forth this information; a true firsthand account of who the real president is, a liar and a thief of American freedom. Fear lies at the root of Bush's campaign for freedom. Fear of terrorists, and death. What is so free about that, and what does any of my freedom have to do with a bunch of in-fighting extremists of whom I never hear about or see, or feel threatened.
Today, I then discovered that CNN's Jessica Yellin, reported (here also) to have experienced pressure from her executives at ABC News and MSNBC to promote press that would boost Bush's approval rating, and support the argument to go to war with Iraq, even though, in her words, she was reporting things contra to what her executives were pushing for, and that she was not allowed to publish anything that was against the Iraq war, and slandered Bush's political reputation. This goes beyond propaganda, and says to any person in their right mind, that corporate media executives have an underlying agenda to scam the American public. Even if they aren't linked to Bush's media monster, they still have been associated with his policies of persuasion through controlling the free press. Not every single news network in the country could possibly propagandize in favor of Bush's policies just as a favor.
Also worth noting is McClellan's interview today on the Today show, where Katie Couric kept asking him repeatedly, why the book was released now, one week before it's planned release. His response was atrocoius and yet another right-wing plant to destabilize the Democratic candidate Barack Obama. In summary McClellan responded to the question stating that he wanted people to learn from prior historical mistakes, and then he went on to compare Bush's entrance to the White House was representative of Obama's platform of change. He said, that Bush had the intentions of change, but instead was swayed by the political whirlwind of Washington. Sound like old GOP bridges never burn, and this book release is yet another GOP undermining of what the people really want in this country. Don't tell us what we want, give us what we need, and get out of office, Bush!
