    Stupidest Guy on Earth Speaks Out

    Your Daily Politics Video Blog: The President bears the greatest responsibility for the catastrophe of the Iraq war.  He was the key decision maker at every point.  And he's fundamentally accountable.  But if you look into the innards of the process that led to war there is probably no one who was either responsible for or involved with more of the bad decisions, more of the conscious decisions or horrible ideas than Doug Feith.
