In response to an article published at NewsBusters and The American Thinker, I have received two e-mail messages from Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran of the CIA that used to head up Alec Station, the Counterterrorist Centers Osama bin Laden unit. (Update: Scheuer is the individual regularly referred to in the 9/11 Commission report as "Mike".) His name might ring a bell as the previously anonymous author of the books Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror and Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America. In his writing as well as his interviews, Scheuer is an outspoken critic of the current Administrations prosecution of the war on terror, as well as an opponent of the war in Iraq. As such, he is not considered to be a friend of the presidents.
That said, after reading my piece about the smear campaign against ABCs The Path to 9/11, Scheuer apprised me of an op-ed he had written for the Washington Times on July 5 of this year. Given its context to this issue, I wanted to share it with our readers, and will do so in its entirety in a moment.
However, before I do, let me first share a more recent opinion offered by Scheuer as answers to some questions I asked of him in response to his first e-mail message: Is the scene in question as depicted by Rush an accurate account of the plan to capture or kill bin Laden in Afghanistan. If so, who do you believe gave the order to halt it? Scheuer responded:

All of the Clintonistas are going to say he lies too! I can hear their voices getting warmed up now. Interesting man, and interesting facts too. Makes me feel really glad we have a POTUS that ain't afraid, and will stand up for something instead of someone like Clinton. We were saved in the nick of time with Clinton gone.

fcking amazing. The more I learn. The more I get pissed. This camel jockey could have been taken out very quickly, and anyone who knows anything about specops realizes this. now laden has been elevated to a hero status by the islamofacists and will be protected by the pakistanis and iranians.
"...So, I look forward to ABC's mini-series, as well as to seeing the quality of the network's fact-checkers. If they do their job well, some of the September 11 Commission's whitewash may start to be peeled away. If they fail, however, the reality that Bill, Dick and Sandy helped to push Americans out of the windows of the World Trade Center on that September morning will be buried in miles of fantasy-filled celluloid."
It's great that there's confirmation of Clinton's failures but as long as the MSM is still sharing cigars with him it only matters to people who want the truth.

Please share your choices of stand up guys for the 2008 election. I can't come up with any who would have a prayer of being nominated let alone elected.
I'd love to see Fox do a review show after 'Path' hosted by Britt Hume. Have Newt, Tony Blankley, Bill Gertz, Gen. McInnerny, etc. discuss it and put it into proper and historical perspective.
Unfortunately, neither can I.
Antonin Scalia?
Schwartzkopf?
My post was referring only to terrorism, and Mr. Bush took it to the terrorists. That being said, I can say I do not agree with all of the things since then, but at least he has done a lot more to protect us than others before him. Why is it so many of us cannot give the man credit for what he has done, but rather, bitch and complain about all the things WE think he should do and didn't? In short, it is time for all of us to just grow up and admit that no one man can do it all, and needs our help and understanding.
Bump for later read.

how about Zell Miller too!!
The link to the video below tells us all we need to know about how dangerous the Clintoons were/are to our safety. They failed to protect us against al Qaeda and Ben Laden.

Were the Clintoons paid by the Opecker Thugs to protect Ben Laden?
Thanks. That's a nice addition to the thread. Lisa Myers (along with John Stossel) is one of the very few network news reporters you can count on.
