Leave him alone. He wrote a book. It is true or untrue, accurately reported or not. If not, this will no doubt be revealed. It is honestly meant and presented, or not. Look to the assertions, argue them, weigh and ponder.
That's my first thought.
When I finished the book I came out not admiring Mr. McClellan or liking him but, in terms of the larger arguments, believing him.

Pot Meet Kettle. A blowhard with BDS, writing about a Judas blowhard. One upset at GW for letting him go, one upset at GW for not hiring her as a speech writer. Both leave a bad taste and should be spit, not swallowed.

It’s the seriousness of the charge that matters. Duh!

Listen Republicans. And understand.
That the Islamic Cults, the UnAmerican Democrat Party, Pelosi and Hussein Obama, are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until we are dead

But Is It True?Both in her writings and in her television appearances, Peggy Noonan comes off as someone who chooses her words with great care and deliberation. Were she a deep thinker, one would be impressed.
To: jrooney
Peggy peaked in the 80s.
Nowadays she apparently gets paid by the word.

You are spot on. That is why as uncomforting as it will be, I will vote for John McCain to stop Obama and Pelosi. My families future is too important.

Ok, 1st the usual suspects whine hysterically for years because Bush DOESN'T fight back. NOW the White House is fighting back and the same collection of senile old Dincons is whining hysterical because Bush is fighting back!
Past time the pseudo Conservative talking head retired like Noonan, Buchannan and Wills, they have lost all intellectual credibility with their perpetual pouting.

Look up “vapid” in your Funk and Wagnell’s and you’ll find “Peggy Noonan.” This poor woman is a legend in her own mind.

WELL SAID!!
If I was to say what I really think of Noonan, I would be banned.

Peggy Noonan: her one lifetime accomplishment was to have been a speech writer for President Reagan.
Never held office herself, never accomplished anything on her own.
As she fades farther and farther from relevance, she tries ever more desperately to draw attention to herself.

If you want the truth "revealed" you can't exactly "leave him alone."
To: jrooney
In determining whether “it is true”, the first burden should be on the author of the book, not the people who are skeptical about the book. If McClellan has facts, let him show the facts. Don’t draw conclusions out of things like McClellan being excluded from a conversation between Rove and Libby.

She’s so dramatic when she tosses that head back and runs a trembling hand through her tresses...
I expect her to start calling everyone “DAHLING”
