Sorry for a repost, but hours have passed and I think it is important to see how Feith bullshat Chris Wallace on Fox News on Sunday…Wallace couldn’t even believe it!! I broke up Feith’s statements by sentence and used elipses if there were two distinct obfuscations in a sentence, to show the utter vacuousness of this guy’s comments.
———————–

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Feith was shockingly unrepentant, denying any and all evidence that he stacked the deck for war. It was too much even for Chris Wallace, the show’s host, who seemed incredulous that Feith would deny the obvious. (You can read the whole transcript here.) An excerpt:

WALLACE: Okay. Let’s talk about it, because the briefing was titled “Iraq and Al Qaeda Making the Case,” and here are some of the highlights from your PowerPoint presentation. “Intelligence indicates cooperation in all categories, mature symbiotic relationship.” “Some indications of possible Iraq coordination with Al Qaeda specifically related to 9/11.” And you said an alleged meeting between 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and an Iraqi agent in Prague in April 2001 was a known contact. Mr. Feith, all of that–all of that was wrong, wasn’t it?

FEITH:
No, not at all.
There was substantial intelligence.
I mean, evidence is a legal term not really appropriate here.
There was a lot of information out there.
Intelligence is very sketchy,
…and it’s always open to interpretation.
On this issue, there were people who disagreed about the intelligence
…and the people in the Pentagon were giving a critical review.
They were not presenting alternative conclusions.
They were presenting a challenge to the way the CIA was looking at things
…and filtering its own information.

WALLACE: I have to tell you, I mean, when I–I mean, I read these as “mature symbiotic relationship,” “known contact”–that sure sounds like conclusions.

FEITH:
You’re plucking language out of a briefing,
…the thrust of which was why is the CIA accounting for information that it had that suggested an Iraq-Al Qaeda relationship when the CIA was excluding that information from its own finished intelligence at the time.
It was a criticism.
It’s healthy to criticize the CIA’s intelligence.
What the people in the Pentagon were doing was right.
It was good government.

Sacre Bleu!
It just isn’t like Feith to make stuff up.

Now that the covers are off and the lights are on watch the cocroaches attempt to flee. Where are the defenders of Bush on this subject? This is why there arguments fall flat. They ignore the vile actions of Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, the Office of Special Operations and the rest of the scurrying in the dark vermin.

Thanks Feith, for reminding everyone why Tommy Franks called you ‘the dumbest man on the planet’.

Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Kristol, Cheney, Bush, et al should be sentenced to an eternity in prison, ritually waterboarded, and made to stare at this frightening poem for the rest of theire miserable lives…

Reading about this guy’s doings and looking deep into his eyes, the pools of his soul, gives me pause to wonder: why do psychopath serial killers concentrate on innocent victoms, when there are people like this, out there? Hmmm…

Douglas Feith is a mealy-mouthed reprobate who deserves a hard punch in his face for having the unmitigated gall to question Inspector General Gimble’s veracity. Mr. Excrement-For-Brains Feith deserves to be locked up with the terrorists at Gitmo–he is a bigger terrorist than all of them put together, and the key thrown away! Charge Feith and JAIL THE SODDING S.O.B.!!!!!

why does WaPo, rather than the Times, give this idiot spaace to justify his unjustifiable alternative analysis? Why? Why do we have to continuously treat these people as if their views are valid or possibly reasonable. Why can’t those whose job it is to REPORT do some REPORTING and not just transcribe what someone with an agenda tells them. Come on, folks. Y’all are in the big leagues playing with the big boys. Stop acting like if you call someone on their BS that you’ll get killed because, guess what, people all over the world are actually getting killed.

Itâ€™s a good thing Feithâ€™s ass is conveniently attached to his backside.

. . . and his head is stuck up it to fill the vacuum. Unfortunately, there is nothing that could fill the vacuum between his ears, though.

Ah, Feith. The man Tommy Franks referred to as “the dumbest fucking guy on the planet”. If that one makes it through the censorship, I’ll be shocked! But I have to agree with the sentiment.

I feel its a tactic to get so many different players and opinions involved, it diffuses responsibility to the point that you cannot find anyone who is responsible for anything. It’s the governmental way.
