According To Bob Woodward, John McCain Said In The Bush White House, "Everything is f---ing spin."
Read more, and the excerpts below:
Woodward notes that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama opposed the surge, while GOP presidential candidate John McCain was “advocating more troops for years.” Woodward also quotes McCain expressing frustration with the Bush White House, clenching his fists in the West Wing and exclaiming to Woodward: “Everything is f---ing spin.”
Woodward asserts in his new book that Gen. George Casey, when he was the U.S. commander in Iraq, believed "that President Bush does not understand the war" and eventually concluded "he has lost the president’s confidence."
Calling Bush "the nation’s most divisive figure," Woodward criticized the president for failing to fulfill what some might view as impossible expectations.
"He had not rooted out terror wherever it existed," Woodward scolded. "He had not achieved world peace. He had not attained victory in his two wars."
Woodward also observed that seven years in the White House has "taken a visible toll" on Bush, who "has a noticeable paunch and sometimes slouches in his chair."
Editor's comment: That sure sounded like John McCain, and he is right.
Any questions?
