In a completely expected, pre-election, liberal attack on the GOP and President Bush, Bob Woodward's new book is scheduled for release this week. In the book, Woodward is highly critical of the Bush Administration's Iraq policy.

The White House has responded to the book after reading advance copies. Here's what White House Press Spokesman Tony Snow had to say:

"In a lot of ways, the book is sort of like cotton candy -- it kind of melts on contact," White House spokesman Tony Snow said at a briefing dominated by the topic. "We've read this book before. This tends to repeat what we've seen in a number of other books that have been out this year where people are ventilating old disputes over troop levels." Snow said it was well known that events in Iraq have been difficult and that officials have debated the right approach. "Rather than a state of denial," he said, "it's a state of the obvious."
