"Anonymous" wrote a book where he argued that we should abandon Israel and open negotiations with Islamofascists so they stop being mean to us. He's one of the old school blueblood anti-Semites, the same types who wanted to appease Hitler in the 30's.
It's very good that he's left the CIA; he's exactly the sort of person who has been undermining our country for decades. Lately many in the CIA have been undermining President Bush, frankly trying to derail his re-election. Good riddance. His 15 minutes will soon be over.
In my memory, Bush is the first president to express the idea that America's loyalt to other counbtries should be base not solely on immediate self interest, but more on their commitment to liberty.
In the long run, Peace (and American interests) will best be served by the expansion of individual liberty.
Scheur is ignorant trash. Here's a link that explains his garbage: Empircal Hubris
His call for the utter appeasement of the Islamofascists is a prescription for disaster!
But SeeBS is giving him 4x that tonight.
I am honestly curious what these people think getting out of Iraq or doing something different would actually do. For example, what in the world could a former CIA analyst or a Michael Moore really think in his or her comfortable home here in the States about the discovery of a dismembered and disemboweled woman with a disfigured face that just happens to have long blonde hair and has been deemed Western? Or the now numerous beheadings? Do these people really think that negotiations or payoffs or appeasement will change terrorists' opinions one iota?
It's as though nay-sayers are not only not with the program, they don't have the program or can't read it, or they are living in Disney World somewhere between the France and Germany buildings. This is a truly frightening prospect. How in the world could I expect them to defend my back when everything they say--and do--indicates otherwise?
Not only do I not understand their thinking, I am to the point of not wanting to anymore. If they want to move, in the spirit of Scroose, let them decrease the population and do so, and quickly, so I can prepare to defend myself if necessary.
