Why doesn't steve kroft go catch OBL then, he seems to know all about it.
I am really surprised that 60 minutes aired this guy taking it to Clarke and Tenent.
I watched this and I thought it was funny how SM somewhat distorted the timeline to almost make it appear that the CIA dropped the ball during the Bush administration.
So it wasn't the Russians that started the end of the world?
His criticism of both Clark and Tenent lends credibility to his comments.
Am I the only one who thinks that all of this chaos and finger-pointing at the CIA + these nuke warnings that seem to be coming every day now == bad news....
I don't want to panic, but the government has not been very reassuring of late.
Regarding the headline, what's the big deal? I said that ten years ago.
I see a big gap between 'surely coming' and 'if he gets a weapon, he will use it.'
Sad,.....but,........it (WMD-attacks) may be 'bigger' than we can even imagine!
AQ is seeking a world-wide......'stage'.
(to them,...it is a self-saving....of.....'face'...?)
(Their,....'Heavens' must be destroyed?)
/sarcasm
Anybody who calls OBL great and a worthy opponent,needs to be put on a very close watch,and then medicated.
I wonder how much of it has to do with Porter Goss shaking things up at the CIA lately.
OBL really needs to rethink his wishes.
On the other hand, I have to admit that I found Imperial Hubris contradictory and bizarre...
Yet, I feel that all of this flailing about (reflected in that book) indicates that they are failing. We need to reform the CIA fast...
Screw the old personal system. Kick out all of the liberals and wimps. Hire all of the smart young folks in America and put them to work.
I don't know why folks keep saying that Bin Laden is smart, when it's so apparent that he's either as stupid as a june bug, insane, or both.
He took on the US on 9/11 and lost his entire empire in the Middle East, and he thinks that setting off a nuke will win this war for him? If America's loss of 3,000 people cost him so dearly, what will nuking the states cost him and his beloved Islam?
I didn't catch 60 Minutes this evening, but Scheuer makes another important assertion in his book Imperial Hubris: we are not winning the war in Afghanistan nor in Iraq, and we will not win these wars. He says we have lost control of many towns and large regions of both countries, and this will get worse. I hope Scheuer is wrong, but clearly a great deal of persistence will be needed to prove him wrong.
Because smoke over substance went part and parcel with Clintonian policy. Lazy bureaucrats despise an administration that demands results and accountability. Lordy, they might have to actually earn their money! (our tax dollars)
Well, this is frightening to me... If Goss is going in there and taking names, that probably means that they are failing badly in their overall efforts against Al-Qaida. I do not believe that Iraq is the issue.
Big mouth, no brains.
Where was this jerk before September 11? Why wasn't he leaking info to the MSM then? Sounds like he's trying to drum up book sales while the scum at CBS take swipes at W. The best way to create excitement is to tell America that it will be nuked pretty soon and, of course, it's Bush's fault.
