Official Power-Tool of the Bush Administration
or as Tommy Franks put it: the "fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth"...



Chickenhawk/Pedant Douglas Feith Describes Self; Fails To Realize It:

"In conversation, Feith is not often on point. The first time we met, I was prepared to ask about his role in the management of postwar Iraq. Feith, though, preferred to discuss the influence on his thinking of Edmund Burke, (who) "wrote brilliantly and bitterly about the French Revolution and the danger to a society of a bunch of people thinking they could remake society rationally and get rid of all the institutions that have grown up over centuries and reflect the distilled wisdom of numerous people.”

"When I asked, for instance, if the Administration was too enamored of the idea that Iraqis would greet American troops with flowers, he argued that some Iraqis were still too intimidated by the remnants of Saddam’s Baath Party to express their emotions openly. 'But,' Feith said, 'they had flowers in their minds.'"
