It's politically motivated: The White House is in a furor over a book being released today by Richard A. Clarke, former counterterrorism coordinator for both Presidents Bush I (the Paterfamilibush) and Clinton. The book alleges that Bush II (Flyboy-in-Chief) and his merry brand of pranksters have essentially ignored threats from al-Qaeda while fighting a vanity war in Iraq. The White House claims the book is politically motivated, but would find no apparent political motivation in a book that extolled the virtues of the Iraq mission.
