Gosh, Maybe Tommy Franks Had A Point....

....Not to mention George Tenet and Jay Garner too (as told by Dana Milbank):

Doug Feith, the No. 3 man at the Pentagon before, during and after the invasion of Iraq, has come in for his share of blame for the failures there -- in large part because he led the Pentagon policy shop that badly misstated the case for war and bungled the planning for the aftermath. Gen. Tommy Franks called him "the dumbest [bad word] guy on the planet." George Tenet of the CIA called his work on Iraq "total crap." And Jay Garner, once the American administrator in Iraq, deduced that Feith is "incredibly dangerous" and, "He's a smart guy whose electrons aren't connected."


Why have I come to think that all those folks just might be right?

Well, yesterday, Mr. Feith was interviewed by Anna Maria Tremonti on CBC Radio One so that he could flog his 'book' which, by all accounts, Mr. Milbank's included, is nothing more than a total crock filled to bursting with craptacular lies.

One of which, reiterated repeatedly yesterday is that, even if he didn't have 'em, Saddam Hussein could have reconstituted his Weapons Of Mass Destruction within three to five weeks.

I was incensed as Ms. Tremonte let this and many other egregious craptacularisms pass so that she could focus on the issue of Bush Adminsitration-sanctioned torture, a subject which Mr. Feith repeatedly described as 'controversial'.

Luckily, Larry Wilkerson, a guy who worked for Colin Powell and who has done quite a bit of mea culpanizing of the more honest variety himself, came on after Feith and set the record straight.

And he didn't even use the F-word.

But he should have.

All of which leaves me wondering - why are people like Mr. Feith, people who have been proven wrong over and over and over and over (and over) again, taken seriously by anyone even remotely serious about anything?

Including the CBC.

Instead, it is my opinion that they should be submitted to endless ridicule.*

At the very (very) least.

OK?

The RA File of the interview can be found here (see part 2) - but be forewarned, it's worse than 5 million screaming fingernails on an endless blackboard from hell and/or the wails of all the dead unjustly killed because of the actions of people like Mr. Feith.
*And it looks like MoDo agrees.
