Fast US war in Iraq left problems - US official (Douglas Feith)
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/N08186836.htm

WASHINGTON, July 8 (Reuters) - The speed of the U.S. military push across Iraq and into Baghdad set the stage for post-war problems, including attacks on American forces, a top Pentagon policy official said on Tuesday.

"We're facing some problems brought on by our very successful war," said Douglas Feith, the undersecretary of defense for policy.

U.S. forces swept into Baghdad on April 9, 20 days after war was launched against Iraq on March 20.

Post-war problems include looting, sabotage and attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, Feith said at a forum organized by the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.

1. Un-f*cking-believable!
The word you're looking for, Mr. Feith, is "consequences." Sound it out. con-suh-kwen-sez.

Used to be that lying to the American people had consequences, too.

3. Feith is a LIAR
This is the weenie the neo-cons sent out to deny the OSP scandal.

Another Straussian neo-con turd, yea sure, the war was so successful it led to guerrilla resistance. Face it slimebag, the Iraqi people dont want foreign occupiers there, you lied about the parades and flowers. You lied about WMDs.

Now with Rummy's incompetence and huge ego....no supplies are reaching the troops, there arent enough troops there....rather than admit the uniformed military was right....the civilian neo-cons in the pentagon continue to lie and let the troops suffer.

Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle.....think any of these neo-con "tough guys" ever served in the military ?

Somewhat. "Very successful war?" I don't think so...
