Iraq War from Inside the Adminstration

The following are quotes from a new book about the Iraq war. Can you guess the author who said the following?

• "Events have showed that our willingness to trust the judgment of Bush and his team was misplaced."
• "History appears poised to confirm what most Americans today have decided — that the decision to invade Iraq was a serious strategic blunder."
• "War should only be waged when necessary, and the Iraq war was not necessary."
• "Bush and his advisers knew that the American people would almost certainly not support a war launched primarily for the ambitions purpose of transforming the Middle East. Rather than open this Pandora's Box, the administration chose a different path — not employing out-and-out deception, but shading the truth."
• The author accuses the Bush and his administration of "intentional ignoring of intelligence to the contrary," a "lack of candor underlying the campaign for war," a "lack of inquisitiveness," and being "too stubborn to change and grow."

So, who was this leftist, commie, America-hating, flag-burning, peacenik, elitist, enemy sympathizer? Scott McClellan, a Bush loyalist who worked as his press secretary and followed him from Texas to Washington to be part of his administration. The fallout from this book should be interesting to watch.
