More Proof Douglas Feith Is an Idiot

The Bloomberg News tells us what we already know about the reliability of the intelligence produced by Douglas Fieth and the Office of Special Plans.

The Pentagon provided “inappropriate” analysis for its reports of a strong link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, a finding that was cited by the White House as a rationale for invading Iraq, a report by the Pentagon inspector general says.

The declassified report said Defense Department officials “undercut” the intelligence community.

It specifically said that analysts reporting to Douglas Feith, who was the under secretary for policy, told Stephen J. Hadley, the deputy national security adviser at the time, and I. Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, that there were “fundamental problems with how the intelligence community is assessing information.”

Feith has patheticly tried to distanced himself from his handiwork.

“I don’t think the rationale for the war hinged on the existence of stockpiles.” - Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith, The New Yorker, 5/9/05VERSUS

“I’d like to spend a moment, if I can, stressing in particular the crucial task of eliminating weapons of mass destruction. We have begun detailed planning for this task, which includes securing, assessing and dismantling Iraq’s WMD capabilities, its facilities and stockpiles. This will be a huge undertaking.” - Feith, Senate Testimony, 2/11/03

Tommy Franks called Feith "the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth."
