Flashback: McClellan's Take on Richard Clarke Book

While press secretary, Scott McClellan was asked by a reporter why the public shouldn't believe the conclusions Richard Clarke made in his book about the Bush Administration. This was McClellan's response:

Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he not raise these sooner? This is one-and-a-half years after he left the administration. And now, all of a sudden, he's raising these grave concerns that he claims he had. And I think you have to look at some of the facts. One, he is bringing this up in the heat of a presidential campaign. He has written a book and he certainly wants to go out there and promote that book.

Very interesting indeed.
