This is nothing new, I'm sure we've all heard it before. Just a new person spouting the same old stuff. *shrugs*

Yes but what is of extreme significance is that this is the person that was the president's mouthpiece for 3 years. He sat in all these meetings where policy was discussed and was the one who articulated these policies to the American public. So it is very different than a critic from outside the president's inner circle.
The White House may be trying to spin it as a disgruntled employee who is trying to cash in, but the allegations are somewhat disheartening to Republicans (like moi). The concern is that it is an albatross around McCain's neck with regard to the Iraq war.
