Another Bush insider critical of administration
Date Created:03/23/04 08:42 AM

As mentioned earlier, former Bush aide Richard Clarke has written a book charging what has already been widely circulated -- that President Bush has been single-mindedly focused on invading Iraq. He was before the September 11 attacks and, apparently, wanted aides to find a link between Iraq and the 9/11 attacks.

Predictably, the White House response has been to attack Clarke as a disgruntled former employee who is writing the book for political reasons. W.H. press secretary stayed doggedly on message during a briefing yesterday. The Bushies seem worried.

The earlier book was written by former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil. I've not read either of these, but I'm currently reading American Dynasty: Aristocracy, Fortune, and the Politics of Deceit in the House of Bush, by Kevin Phillips, a Republican and former Nixon staffer.
