The Five Key Myths of Woodward's Book

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Because the mainstream media can't be trusted to give a tenth of the space to the Bush administration's response to Bob Woodward's charges in his book, "State of Denial," as it does to the charges themselves - be sure to read the White House response (Hat tip Jawa Report).

On the question of Woodwards, "State of Denial," William Kristol says in his Weekly Standard piece, "Who's in Denial?," that it's not the Bush administration that's in denial, it's the Democrats:

President Bush is right. It would be nice if he weren't. The country would be better off if there were bipartisan agreement on what is at stake in the struggle against jihadist Islam. But despite areas of consensus, there is still a fundamental difference between the parties. Bush and the Republicans know we are in a serious war. It's not the Bush administration that is in a "State of Denial" (as the new Bob Woodward book has it). It's the Democrats.
