Reply #102: Ten Reasons for Feith's Ouster: #1 - Failure of Iraq Policy; #2 ...

[leveymg]

- Someone high (but not too high at DOD) needs to take the fall for the above;
#3 - No WMDs found in Iraq -- bad intel provided by Chalabi, Gorbanifar, Likud proved extremely embarrassing;
#4 - Feith is being thrown to the dogs for DOD takeover of CIA turf;
#5 - Feith is being thrown to the dogs for OSP takeover of DIA turf;
#6 - Feith is being thrown to the dogs for OSP obstruction of FBI investigation of AIPAC spy ring;
#7 - OSP-AIPAC scandal indictments imminent, a bloody mess expected (Feith has already cut his deal in exchange for not being indicted);
#8 - Plame affair indictments not imminent, appeasement of unhappy CIA officers needed (see #4 above);
#9 - Jack Shaw's allegations of massive corruption among US contractors in Iraq tied to Feith and his friends (a public fallback position to cloud the above);
#10 - Need to clear the wounded off the decks before Bush starts bombing Iran.

Anyone want to add to the above list, or suggest a different ranking?
