Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's new book detailing the "propaganda campaign" President Bush and his allies used to make the case for war in Iraq is raising new questions about John McCain. As a new video released today by the Democratic National Committee shows, John McCain was a key part of the Bush Administration's efforts to misrepresent the threat posed by Iraq and make war look like "the only feasible option."

From echoing the Bush Administration's false and misleading arguments before the invasion to parroting their rosy rhetoric as Iraq descended into chaos, John McCain has consistently been President Bush's most loyal foot soldier. Now, McCain uses rosy rhetoric and misleading statements to defend his willingness to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years.

"This week, the American people are getting a fresh look at John McCain's key role in the propaganda machine that Scott McClellan describes in his book," said DNC spokesman Damien LaVera. "Given that he was part of the drumbeat that misled America into war and continues to misrepresent the facts as he defends his willingness to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years, how can Senator McCain be trusted to not continue the Bush policy of cherry picking the facts on the ground in Iraq and misleading the American people?"
