So what’s Scott deal?
As I’m sure you’ve all heard, Scott came out this last week with a book, What Happened. And he’s on the Daily Show tonight with Jon Stewart. So my question above?
Well he was on the show and he wouldn’t admit that the Bush Administration did their thing with intent. He kept saying it was the culture of Washington DC. What a bunch a BS! The Bush Administration sat around a table and decided to go to war under false pretenses. Jon Stewart asks, “Where is the evidence that the culture affected these decisions?”
Scott has no answer and he couldn’t concede. To Scott the Bush Administration just can’t do anything wrong it seems. “It’s not their fault, these are good people. The culture affected them.” As Jon asked, show me the evidence. Richard Clarke mentioned in his book how since day one for Bush it was Iraq and how they can get to war.
It wasn’t an ideology developed by evidence. It was evidence that only support the ideology. A dangerous mixutre.
For all the things bad you can say about Scott, he did admit some wrongs on the show, and likely his book (I haven’t read it yet). He did state how he said things about Richard Clarke that weren’t true when he hadn’t even read Richard’s book. He seemed like it was possible he felt remorse, but he did work for Bush.
Let’s just say the jury aint out yet for me. But I do plan to read that book.
