Feith is popularly considered by many to be the most vociferous Zionist in the Neo-Conservative ranks.

"virtually everything that has gone wrong in Iraq - especially those matters that Congress is either investigating or is poised to probe - is linked directly to his office. "All roads lead to Feith," noted one knowledgeable administration official this week." Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source for the Middle East

Israel must remain so strong and so defensible, the Arabs dare not once again invade Israel because they would be destroyed along with their legendary self-deluding pride. Did Uncle Sam -- via President Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Dick Cheney, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith and so many of my heroes --blink and make “friends” with their intractable enemies in Afghanistan and Iraq? Or, did they destroy them and are now dictating a peace that will be in America’s best interests? Dr. Jerome S. Kaufman, National Secretary of the ZOA Published in the Detroit Jewish News, May 2, 2003
