Feith must only think its not “a great thing” to “use harsh language” when others are directing it towards him because he said recently that only “assholes” are concerned with how the use of torture reflects on America’s “moral authority.”

But more broadly, Feith is the latest in a long list of war supporters to deflect blame for the failures in Iraq from either themselves or the Bush administration. Indeed, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and AEI war hawk Danielle Pletka recently blamed the Iraqis for the continued violence in Iraq. Some other lowlights:

– Like Feith, fellow war architect Richard Perle blamed the war’s failures on the decision to not “turn Iraq over to Iraqis” after the fall of Baghdad.

– “Surge” brainchild Fred Kagan said last month that he “supported the 2003 invasion despite misgivings about how it would be executed, and those misgivings proved accurate.”

Former Iraq occupation governor L. Paul Bremer recently responded to the criticism from Feith and Perle that Iraq wasn’t handed over to the Iraqis soon enough saying: “It sounds like the architects are running away from their building here.”

1. Such a disingenuous wanker.

3. I thought he was an imbecile

Steve Kroft was pretty smug when he interviewed him, but I didn't mind because Kroft was totally right and Feith was just trying to cover his ass.

4. Maybe Fieth is starting to understand he might get that "tap on the shoulder"

to summon him to the Hague...that Phillpe Sands new book talks about in the "Complicity of Torture" by USA against Geneva Conventions. Little Dougie that he was "above all that" but maybe he's having second thoughts, these days. :shrug:
