Woodward Book Coming on Sept. 8 -- More Iraq Bombshells?
Edited on Tue Aug-05-08 09:52 PM by Cheney Killed Bambi
And Woodward, very quietly, has a new book coming out on September 8. It's so quiet that it is still untitled and is known officially only as his Bush at War Book Vol. IV.

The Amazon page has nothing beyond that and its purported length at 486 pages. Barnes and Noble doesn't even have the length. But wait: there is a strong hint about the contents.

At both Amazon and at the publisher's own site (that would be Simon & Schuster) there appears this super-brief description:

"Bob Woodward's fourth book about the Bush presidency at war declassifies the secrets of America's political and military involvement in Iraq. It will be essential reading for all citizens -- and candidates -- in this election year."

My guess would be that Woodward, who finally grew much more critical of Bush and the war in Vol. III (State of Denial), will go even further this time, perhaps even producing some "smoking gun" type documents ("declassifies the secrets") of the trumped-up evidence in the march to war.

1. So, Woodward, just another megalomaniac Patriot by Choice, ego stroked

by dolling out history to suit his particular needs. He showed himself as a complete sell out early on when truthful books could have helped, rather than fawning bullshit. I am completely fed up with the vast majority of pundits who put their own egos ahead of the welfare of the country.

And, McClellen and Woodward-esque mea culpa- "Ive seen the light at last" moments of clarity don't make up for their bullshit in the least.

Plus, with a lazy, sheeple, brainwashed public who appear to lap up everything that the right puts out while ignoring the truth makes books like this highly unlikely to have the desired effect. As we've seen for years, people's belief systems now completely trump the truth.
