As for the McClellan book, well a loving portrait doesn’t sell as well as a hit job. Just ask George Stephanopoulos what the Clintons think of his book.

Just because it isn't a loving portrait doesn't mean it isn't true. I don't know if anyone read the book "Fiasco" about the military adventure in Iraq, but the book had made the case for much of what Mcclellan has written i.e. Mcclellan isn't the only one saying these things. So it just might be true......
