AUDIO :: Bloggers Conference Call with Douglas Feith
Listen to the bloggers conversation with former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith.
In recent weeks Secretary Feith has been characterized as the evil genius behind making the case for invading Iraq by Senator Carl Levin, The New York Times, and other liberal media outlets. The Left has made its case by distorting the facts.
Doug Feith has received backing from the Wall Street Journal, The New York Sun, General Peter Pace, and Hugh Hewitt. In fact, Chief of Staff Chairman General Peter Pace has said about Doug Feith, "It irritates me, not that anyone would question his thoughts or his policies - that is absolutely fair game -but that anyone would question his loyalty or his motives. I have watched this man for four years. He cares only about what is best for the United States."
In this
One Jerusalem call, Feith refers to a Defense Department memo and Senate Armed Service Committee hearings. These documents and more are referenced at
Red State.
Red State also has a long commentary on the campaign against Feith.
As you will hear in our
conference call there appears to be a deliberate campaign to use Feith to discredit President Bush and his policies.
Some of the bloggers on the call included Pastorius from
Infidel Bloggers Alliance, Jim from
Gateway Pundit, Richard Baehr from
The American Thinker and Rick Richman from
Jewish Current Issues.
Douglas Feith was with the Department of Defense in the United States when Dickheney was Secretaryt of Defense. It was a cabal of Cheney, Libby, Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle and others who i8n 1990 planned the war against Iraq; were stymied by the election of Bill Clinton as President; but did not hesitate long after the election of George W. Bush and his self-appointed vice President, Dick Cheney. Douglas Feoth's "intelligence" on Iraq was false, and different from that of most other intelligence units of the U.S. government. It is not a question of his "patriotism" but one of his judgment and upon which it was based, and the judgment of the man for whom he was working, Dick Cheney.
