Douglas Feith
Undersecretary of Defense for Policy
Center for Security Policy: Former chair
Middle East Forum: Study member
| quote: | (excerpt #1)
His militarism-and close ties with the military-industrial complex-were evident in his policy work in the Pentagon working with Richard Perle in the 1980s and then part of the Vulcans along with Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Cheney in the Bush II administration; his work as a corporate lobbyist in the 1990s for Northrup Grumman along other military contractors; and his prominent role in the Center for Security Policy and in the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). His political orientation is distinctly neoconservative, as evident in his affiliations with such groups as the Middle East Forum, Center for Security Policy, and Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS). Feith has also been associated with the National Institute for Public Policy (NIPP), a policy institute that promotes missile defense, space weapons, and nuclear weapons development. Feith, along with Max Kampelman, were team leaders for NIPP initiatives, funded by the right-wing Smith Richardson Foundation, for studies advocating the implementation of ambitious missile defense systems. |
| quote: | (excerpt #2)
Feith is also well known for his participation-along with neoconservative big wigs Richard Perle and David Wurmser-in a 1996 study organized by the Israel-based Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, which urged scrapping the then-ongoing peace process. The study, titled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," advised Prime Minister-elect Benjamin Netanyahu "to work closely with Turkey and Jordan to contain, destabilize, and roll back" regional threats, help overthrow Hussein, and strike "Syrian military targets in Lebanon" and possibly in Syria proper. |

Highlights & Quotes
Stephen Hadley is a fire-tested Vulcan - a hardliner close to Vice President Dick Cheney and to the neoconservative camp. Named by the president in mid-November 2004 to replace Condoleezza Rice as his National Security Adviser, Hadley formed part of a loosely constituted group of foreign policy advisers known as the Vulcans who advised the presidential candidate Bush in 2002 and were at the core of the presidential transition team following Bush's election victory. Among the other Vulcans who later moved into the first Bush administration were Rice, Colin Powell, Cheney, Richard Perle, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz
