for the masses of americans, this book, and this interview, paints george bush as a man with a higher calling.

he was portrayed as concerned, at times to the point of tears, with the decisions he was making.

this is what the anti-intellectual, anti-elite want to hear. this is what they signed on for, and they will love it.

i wondered how bob woodward could write a negative 'expose' of the bush whitehouse after he had had his nose up bush's ass for three years, describing him as being so "presidential", and other crap.

i now see what he is doing. he wanted to write a book, with a little of the reality in it, but in a way that bush would like, approve, and clear for printing. plus make a lot of money.

and that is exactly what he did.

you notice he didn't mention "f**k saddam, he's going down!"

the 'intellectuals' will see the few outrageous points that were made, and try to point them out. but the unwashed masses will love what they hear, and want more of it.

woodward has successfully played both sides. he is a true whore. this book is to combat all the other books out now that are bashing bush. this is payoff for all those years of access.

and woodward is saying bush wasn't pushing iraq until two months after 9-11? i thought bush was pushing iraq within weeks of his being sworn into office.
