Feith :''the f---ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth,"
http://www.antiwar.com/lobe/?articleid=2614
Feith, who, according to Bob Woodward's new book, Plan of Attack <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/074325547X/antiwarbookstore/>, was described by the military commander who led last year's invasion, Gen. Tommie Franks, as ''the f---ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth," has been at the center of virtually everything else that has gone wrong in Iraq, so there is no reason to think he was very far from this one.
Like his mentor, former Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle, Feith has long been a hardliner on foreign policy, arms control issues and Israel. (snip)

As a youth, his father, Dalck Feith, was active in pre-World War II Poland in Betar, a militantly Zionist movement and forerunner of Israel's Likud Party. Dalck Feith’s parents perished in the Nazi Holocaust, according to the neo-conservative Wall Street Journal, which last week demanded a public apology from Powell for his reference to Feith's operation as the ''Gestapo Office."
Feith worked for Perle in the Pentagon under Ronald Reagan, and the two teamed up in the late 1980s to lobby on behalf of the Turkish government and build military ties between Turkey and Israel. In 1996 he participated in a private study by a right-wing Israeli think tank that called for ousting Saddam Hussein as a means to transform the balance of power in the Middle East in such a way that Israel could ignore pressure to trade ''land for peace'' with the Palestinians or Syria.

Israel is "inflicting, not fighting,
terrorism"...
"I have been a Zionist my entire life. I would die for
Israel. But watching the suffering of the Palestinian
people, I'm also becoming a Palestinian-ist."
-Geraldo

"You can't round up Palestinian young men and put
numbers on their arms to make it easier to identify
them," he said. "That reminds the world, that reminds
Jews, of what Hitler and the Nazi pigs inflicted on
the Jewish race during the Second World War."
-Geraldo

2. Geraldo said that? He'd better start looking for work!
Fuck Snooze must not be very pleased with him.
