The collapse of the administration's rationales for war, which became apparent months after our invasion, should never have come as such a surprise. In this case, the 'liberal media' didn't live up to its reputation. If it had, the country would have been better served.

I'm glad to share my views.

As press secretary, I spent countless hours defending the administration from the podium in the White House briefing room.

My wife and I look for ways to always support the troops, including sending care packages regularly to them.

I have had a career in public service.

I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.

I think that there's a tendency in this town to try to selectively pick snapshots, when the broader reality is that we have a record of results and that we're getting things done for the American people.
