Doug Feith, Reinventing History

Dougie Feith appeared on Faux News Sunday with Chris Wallace today and emphatically denied that he or anyone in his office ever said there was an operational relationship between Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. How sad. Mr. Feith apparently has early on-set Alzheimer's disease. He's forgotten that someone in his shop at DOD leaked his October 2003 memo to the Senate Intelligence Committee to one Mr. Stephen Hayes, an enterprising journalist, who in turn published the breathless findings in the Weekly Standard.

So what? The Weekly Standard is not an official government publication. Why should we take it seriously? Well, let's ask Vice President Dick Cheney. Here's what the Weekly Standard Editor, a guy named Bill Kristol, wrote three years ago:

-SNIP-

As the Bush apologists rally to Feith's side and try to whitewash history, they are finding it difficult to erase the videotapes and written articles that document their insanity. They are certainly taking chutzpah to a new level. On the one hand, they insist that the CIA had dropped the ball and that fresh outside eyes were needed in order to get at the truth about Saddam and Osama. But in the blink of an eye, Feith takes refuge in the CIA, insisting that George Tenet backed up the ravings of Feith's minions at DOD.

Then we get the spectacle of Feith, Kristol, and others saying that the relationship between Saddam and Osama was really an irrelevant sideshow and that the real problem was the CIA, which said that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. So therefore it is all the fault of the CIA. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Feith and the legion of neo-con hacks and enablers were all victims of the nefarious, ignorant CIA. Hells bells! They did not do a single wrong thing. I know who is really to blame--it is all the fault of Valerie Plame.

Not since the glory days of the Stalinist Soviet Union have we witnessed such a bald, audacious, and mendacious effort to reinvent history. Notwithstanding the concerted effort of the neocons to deny any responsibility for the debacle in Iraq, their propaganda campaign, which conflated the threat of Islamic terrorism with the alleged menace of Saddam, was the foundation for going to war in Iraq. No amount of lies disavowing responsibility for whipping up the public anger to go to war by the likes of Feith, Bill Kristol, George Bush or Dick Cheney, can erase the scarlet stain of the blood of American soldiers killed in Iraq because of their folly. Sorry Doug, I remember what you said and did. Run if you must, coward that you are, but the facts on this are clear and unambiguous.
