But the very next day, Saturday, White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley started bashing Bob Woodward’s new book “The War Within: A Secret White House History, 2006-2008″. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the book myself as the first two Woodward books on Bush’s war in Iraq were excellent. The first one was a positive look at Bush’s run-up to the war. Now that Woodward has turned critical, however, the spinmeisters are back pedaling.
I love how the president himself handles this interview. Essentially, his defense is, “Uh, uhm, well, uh, let’s see ….” In other words, all this hemming and hawing is getting us nowhere and President Bush has yet, after nearly 8 years of failure, to take any responsibility for his losing policies. Should we ever expect him to?
