Here he was sharing his wisdom on PBS. One has to wonder why he was so adamant about this? Was he on someone's payroll?
It's hard to believe anyone could be so wrong--for free.
"So, we recognize that he's the threat. He's serious about wanting to kill Americans, but as long as he's in Afghanistan, as long as he doesn't have access to a cell phone, as long as he can't just hop on a plane and travel wherever he wants without fear of being arrested, his ability to plan and conduct terrorist operations is extremely limited. We have to recognize [that] he would like to do a lot of damage. He would like to kill Americans, but wanting to is different from being able to, having the full capabilities in place."
Larry "Nostradamus" Johnson.
M, Turley's wife had a baby yesterday. He wisely has turned off his cellphone for a few days. I'll have some stuff to say about the controversy in the next hour, though. I talked with the White House about it yesterday. As for the ex-CIA nuts, I'm going after the Larry Johnson Brigades tomorrow.
Those interested should come on over to the tony snow thread. You can link to his radio show from there.
Hm. Larry Johnson had his eye on one tree and never seemed to see the growing forest. Well, that's casework for ya...
bump for a laff in the morning.
I liked this part especially:
"So ... we need to put it back in perspective. Yes, he does not like Americans, he does not like the United States. If he had the wherewithal to kill Americans and attack US targets, he would do so, but he doesn't. He is not in the position, he's not an army. He doesn't have an arsenal of nuclear weapons, he doesn't have an arsenal of chemical/biological weapons. He doesn't have military forces in place ready to launch, because then he'd also need transportation to move them from point A to point B and once they get to point B, then he's gotta figure out how to get them back to point A. He doesn't like us. He would like to conduct operations. He'd like to make our life miserable, but thank God, he's been limited by his ability to do that, in part because his people are in jail, in part because he's holed up in Afghanistan and no other country out there is willing to open its arms to him and say, "Come sit down and work with us."
Bump! Stay on this guy, Sam.
You're tearing him up!
Known to his friends as Larry "Can't Find My Own" Johnson
"He explains why he believes the U.S. has often exaggerated the terrorist threat and analyzes the danger posed by Osama bin Laden."
And I believe he is an idiot. (Actually, I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't worse than that. Nobody can be this stupid.)
I hope when he is investigated for his treasonist activities (with VIPS and Ellsberg), they go over his financial records with a fine tooth comb.
Yup, the mans a negative barometer.

"When you go back and look over the last 10 years, the two regions of the world that have had most terrorist attacks have been Europe and Latin America, not the Middle East."
Insane? Hopelessly stupid? An anti-Semite? On somebody's payroll?
You be the judge.
So, the President that he is talking about in this PBS interview is Clinton, right?
I think Larry Johnson should be made to read these remarks he made if front of any hearing he is a witness to from now on!!!

Right.
"I think Larry Johnson should be made to read these remarks he made if front of any hearing he is a witness to from now on!!!"
Great idea. At the very least he should have his pensees thrown back in his treasonist face.
He's written enough wrong-headed material to supply a filibuster.
Bump
Isn't this the same clown the Democrats had do their radio address last week?
"Isn't this the same clown the Democrats had do their radio address last week?"
Funny you should ask.
Larry Johnson's Radio Address For The DNC--With Interpolations
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1451373/posts
Yes, Larry Johnson did the Democrats' radio response. He gets around.
I think the old term "useful idiot" may apply to Johnson. Useful, in this case, to the terrorists by his very hatred of the U.S.
He reminds me of Scott Ridder.
And people wonder why we've had a failure in intelligence? Aside from their obvious political biases, many of these motivations simply look to be CYA efforts to distract from were the real failures lie. Should we really be surprised to see current or former agents speaking out against Bush, when the truth exists within this cabal that has failed America, miserably.
Whether it was the India/Pakistan/N. Korea nuke programs, targeting of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, Al-Shifra in Sudan...or WMDs and UBL, I hope Porter Goss (and the FBI) is reviewing all these people's past work...and finally exposes them for the failures they were. Just the fact that Johnson was claiming a reduction of terrorism within the last few years prior to 9/11, when more high-profile attacks were occuring against "American" targets, indicates some disconnect with reality. And that doesn't even include those attacks that were thwarted.
