This article ought to scare the living hell out of everybody on this forum.

Read ALL of it; this guy was IN CHARGE of finding bin Laden and he thinks it's FINE if we dump Israel.

If this is what the CIA is like, Porter Goss needs to burn Langley to the ground and start over.

[Howlin]

In a letter to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees earlier this year, Scheuer says his agents provided the U.S. government with about ten opportunities to capture bin Laden before Sept. 11, and that all of them were rejected.

These TEN OPPORTUNITIES were NOT during the Bush administration, as he did NOT work there then!

[My2Cents]

Michael Scheuer is the senior intelligence analyst who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden since 1996.

In other words, this guy's been an abject failure.

[Diogenesis]

Un f'believable. These traitors would murder our President
and get "single bullet Spectre" to get them off.

OUT OUT OUT

[Grampa Dave]

I believe that this POS is gone from the CIA. Rush just said that he appeared on Chrissy Whine Matthews without his picture being blacked out.

He is typical of the Carteristas and those hired by the Carteristas.

[epluribus_2]

let me guess - he has a book to sell and *** imagine that *** it's Bush's fault! When does he appear on 60 Minutes?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

From Can't Believe Squat News???

[MEG33]

I heard him on Matthews..CLEAN UP THE CIA

[pissant]

If this is our OBL "expert", I can see why we haven't caught him. This guy's intellect is about equal to the average 7th grader. Must have been a Clinton promotee.

[Grampa Dave]

Of course this comes from CBS. Does any conservative or even moderate believe any garbage from CBS?

Note to the left wing maggots in charge of CBS phoney news. We have our eye on your eye!

[BlueNgold]

Ahh, another Clintonite criticizing an aggressive policy. Surprise surprise.

[kinghorse]

This Kroft guy looks and sounds like a product of the Clinton's fair and balanced CIA. Before we came to appreciate the importance of intel people were being hired and promoted for their political beliefs rather than their competency. Good to see these people finally throwing in the towel. Whatever this guys says I take with a huge grain of salt. He's a political officer not an intelligence officer. Just like Wes Clark and that Polish guy were political generals, not military generals. No way they get fast tracked if Bozo wasn't there to fast trach them.

[sitewriter]

He's lookking to make more $$$ by selling more books and speaking engagements. He failed in the CIA, so he is going to make $$$ off the ignorance of the far-left.

[CobaltBlue]

Howlin, I don't read Schuer as saying "dump Israel." I read him as saying that we have to accept that bin Laden and the other Islamists ARE motivated, in part, by our support for Israel.

That doesn't mean "throw Israel to the wolves."

I have no idea whether any of this hostility would be ameliorated if Israel could reach an accord with the Palestinians. Maybe, maybe not. If not, then it's up to the American people to decide whether supporting Israel is worth being attacked by terrorists.

I think it's worth it. Giving in to terrorism isn't acceptable in my book.

[kinghorse]

I should have said Schuerer not Kroft. duh.

[Chgogal]

Mr. Scheuer, during you career at the CIA, we Americans suffered great losses. IT'S ALL YOUR FAUTL! YOU were ineffective. Deal with it. If I were you I'd be hiding in shame. Obviously you are too stupid to do so and you suffer from an over sized ego. Do you think we really care what your opinions are? Go away you ineffective POS!

WOW, my blood pressure dropped 15 pts. ;)

[annyokie]

Great article, Howlin!

[Windsong]

"and he thinks it's FINE if we dump Israel"

Israel?? Huh?

Last I checked..it didn't matter one iota if we supported them or not bc terrorists STILL would have attacked us. Israel can fight its own wars, and they will no doubt be bickering with arabs for the next 1000 years, just as they have the last 1000.

[Beckwith]

Michael Scheuer is the senior intelligence analyst who created and advised a secret CIA unit for tracking and eliminating bin Laden since 1996.

So this is the guy who failed at his job and caused us 9/11.

[backhoe]

Porter Goss needs to burn Langley to the ground and start over.

Back during impeachment, I corresponded with him, and was very favorably impressed- if anyone is up to the job of purging the CIA, it's him.
