Posted February 23, 2008

Two days ago (Feb 21, 2008) Scheuer, former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden unit, appeared on Fox News and suggested that Ron Paul and maybe Dennis Kucinich are the only presidential candidates that understand the real causes of terror and proposed the only foriegn policies that address the real causes of terror...

Scheuer states, “I think both of them (McCain and Obama) are equally unable to cope with the threat represented by Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the Islamists,” Sheuer responded. “They really don’t have a clue about what this war is about.”...

“What they hate us for is the unusually virulent strain of obsessive compulsive disorder that’s present in the American governing class, and that’s called interventionism. That’s what the cause of this war is. And neither Mr. McCain, nor Mr. Obama, nor Mrs. Clinton, nor any of the rest of them who are in the campaign—except Mr. Paul, Mr. Kucinich perhaps—had that idea.”...

According to Scheuer, “If anyone is marching to the drum of Al-Qaeda, it is certainly the United States Government.”...

1. I heard a speech by Obama that was definitely counter to "interventionism"

It was the most substantive material I have ever heard from Obama.

2. Paul has been really pushing the official story and books by Scheuer,

CNN reported: "(Ron Paul) suggested that the former mayor read four books: 'Imperial Hubris' by Michael Scheuer, 'Dying to Win' by Robert Pape, 'Blowback' by Chalmers Johnson and the 9/11 Commission Report."

despite aligning himself with several 911truth elements.



It's really strange, and Obama who has Brzezinski as his adviser, should know more about Brzezinski's creation.

3. better than McCain too

McCain wants our troops in Iraq a hundred years. Go figure.
