Shelton Book A Humdinger

"Shelton says he liked former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield personally, but he says he was arrogant, would not listen to military advice and was responsible for a flawed Iraq war plan, 'a fiasco.'

“There was absolutely no link between (Saddam,) and 9/11,” Shelton writes.

He accuses Bush of 'intentionally deceiving the American people.'

He is critical of the Central Intelligence Agency. He writes John McCain has 'a screw loose.' He has no use for Al Gore, which gives Shelton credibility with me.

He tells of attempts to kill bin Laden that were rejected by our State Department.

I found the story about Clinton’s aides losing the 'biscuit' funny to me, but misplacing the nuclear launch codes is not amusing.

Another story is about a senior Clinton official who proposed letting Iraq shot down a low-flying Air Force U-2. You got to love Shelton’s response."

"There Is A Muslim Problem In The World"

Now that I've had a week to think about the big controversy on "The View," I've come to the conclusion that my comment that "Muslims killed us on 9/11" was really not what caused Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set. No doubt that pithy piece of analysis ticked them off, but there is more to this deal than meets the eye.
