LOL, AP story on Feith resigning includes Franks quote

http://www.theolympian.com/home/news/20050127/topstories/76689.shtml

<snip>

Army Gen. Tommy Franks, the retired commander of U.S. Central Command, raised eyebrows in Washington when he took a verbal shot at Feith in his autobiography, "American Soldier." Franks, who wrote the war plans for the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, wrote that Feith was "getting a reputation around here as the dumbest (expletive) guy on the planet."

<more, including Pentagon spokesman denying Feith is the stupidest guy on the planet>

4. Franks Not That Dumb

When you think about it Tommy Franks isn't that dumb, I mean the man retired right before the shit hit the fan in Iraq. And then got himself a Medal of Freedom.

So I wouldn't exactly classify him as dumb.
