Other members of the [[George W. Bush]] administration have offered starkly different assessments.  Several officials have implied that his allegiance to [[Israel]] sometimes appears stronger than his allegiance to the [[United States of America]].  Then-[[National Security Advisor]] [[Condoleezza Rice]], for example, responded to one of Feith's presentations by saying "Thanks, Doug, but when we want the Israeli position we’ll invite the ambassador."<ref name="AmCon">[http://www.amconmag.com/2007/2007_03_12/article1.html American Conservative Magazine]</ref>  Similarly, Colonel [[Lawrence Wilkerson]], [[Colin Powell]]'s chief of staff, stated that he saw Feith as one of many people who seemed like "[a] card-carrying member[] of the [[Likud Party]].<ref name="AmCon" />  I often wondered if their primary allegiance was to their own country or to [[Israel]].

Senior members of the armed forces have also criticized Feith.  General [[Tommy Franks]] once referred to Feith as "the f***ing stupidest guy on the face of the earth."  Colonel Wilkerson, cited above, said that "Seldom in my life have I met a dumber man."  Lieutenant General [[Michael DeLong]] said that "Feith wasn't somebody we enjoyed working with, and to go much further than that would probably not be a good thing. To be honest, we blew him off lots of times. Told the secretary that he's full of baloney, his people working for him are full of baloney....He had some people around him that weren't very good. He thought he knew more than he did, which is dangerous."<ref>[http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/interviews/delong.html Interview of Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong on Frontline]</ref>
