Woodward book sealed Gen. Jones’ fate

Washington (CNN) — When he got his hands on an advance copy of Bob Woodward’s new book “Obama’s Wars” before it hit stores and started reading it earlier this month, I’m told that White House National Security Adviser Jim Jones simply blew a gasket.

Jones was so furious about his portrayal in the book that the retired four-star general told friends later that he promptly took the book and mailed it back to Woodward, as if to say the book wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on, according to a close friend of his who spoke to me on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the national security adviser’s private conversations.

When I pressed a senior administration official on whether or not Jones did in fact put the book in a box and mail it back to Woodward, the official simply said no comment, refusing to confirm or deny the postal service protest.

    Woodward should do a book on the fraud and fiscal abuses perpetrated by the current and past Postmaster Generals, and how their inept, paranoid micromanagement has almost destroyed the moral and ability of their employees to do the job they were hired for. You can’t imagine how they are growing the management and executive pay and bonus aspects while cutting the service to the public. Close service windows and give themselves a bonus for doing it. How about firing two or three executive VP’S and keeping the windows open? It comes down to two skinny legs trying to carry a bloated and fat administration. I could run the Postal Service in the black simply by cutting the management by more than 1/3 and taking away the executive bonuses for cutting service.
    Got an idea, how about administration executives giving back three furlough days, and allowing Craft to do the job without them..Watch how they REALLY are proven to be….OVERHEAD.
