Unintentional Comedy

If you are going to buy a book on Iraq - buy Alex Rossmiller's Still Broken.
If you're going to buy another book and are looking for something sick twisted and tragic, written by someone who has no sense of either self awareness or irony, I have a feeling that Doug Feith's new tell all may be it. It turns out - shockingly enough - that Feith's basic thesis is... Drum roll please.... IT WAS EVERYBODY ELSE'S FAULT. Here are my favorite pieces of the preview article.
Feith depicts former defense secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld with almost complete admiration, questioning only his rough handling of subordinates...
In his book, Feith defends the intelligence activities on grounds that the CIA was "politicizing" intelligence by ignoring evidence in its own reports of ties between Hussein and international terrorists...
Seriously? This from the man who ran the Office of Special Plans. Probably the worst case of intelligence cooking during the war.
Despite its bulk, the book does not address some of the basic facts of the war, such as the widespread skepticism inside the top of the U.S. military about invading Iraq, with some generals arguing that doing so would distract attention from the war against global terrorists. Nor does Feith touch on the assertion of his fellow war architect, then-Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz, that Iraq would be able to pay for its reconstruction with oil revenue.
Funny how he forgot to mention that little detail in the 900 page manuscript!
He blames both the CIA and Powell, who outlined the weapons case in a February 2003 speech at the United Nations, for overemphasizing the threat. But Feith appears to ignore the crucial role that statements from Cheney and Rice, about the imminence of "mushroom clouds" emanating from Iraqi nuclear weapons, played in the case the administration made for war.
I gotta say. I don't always agree with Tommy Franks. But his assessment of Feith as "the f'ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth," has some merit.
