Scheuer: Obama 'Doesn't Have a Clue' about Terror Threat to America
NewsMax ^ | September 10, 2009 | Jim Meyers

Eight years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the U.S. is still in "terrible shape" in the fight against terrorism, former CIA counterterrorism expert Michael Scheuer tells Newsmax.

Scheuer also said President Barack Obama "doesn't have a clue" about the realities of world terrorism.

Scheuer, whose latest book is "Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam After Iraq," spent several years as head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit.

"My dad used to say, beware of men who like to show off in front of children. And I think the president's discussion with schoolchildren [on Tuesday] is a good example of a man to beware of."

When you’re on the side of the enemy, it works to your advantage.

obama was raised by people, and exposed all his life to people, had mentors chosen for him by his grandparents, and chose to associate in college and beyond- with people, who hate America as much as al Qaeda. Even his wife. Certainly his minster. Look at his czars and advisors. Look at his sugar daddy soros.

Why and what should he should he “understand” about the threat posed by such hate? These people see the hate as something personally useful.

Zer0 and Bill Ayers and Van Jones are in a big rush to destroy America from within, and they cannot be bothered with the terror threats from outside.

Scheuer: Obama 'Doesn't Have a Clue' about Terror Threat to America

He should just turn on FoxNews and hear Geraldo Rivera prattle on and on and on about how we lost Iraq and how we are screwing up in Afghanistan.

General Geraldo could probably even draw him some maps in the sand.

[I'd give a quarter, okay, 50-cents to anyone who sticks a sock in Geraldo's mouth right about now.]

“Scheuer also said President Barack Obama “doesn’t have a clue” about the realities of world terrorism.”

Actually, he does.

He’s counting on an attack so that he can use it for political purposes and to grab more power.

President Bush went to war with our murderous enemies who hide behind women and children.

Obammie the Commie is the type that hides behind women and children because he believes he’s too important to be put at risk.

"And I think he really is a man who doesn't have much interest in America. He appears to be more concerned with what the world thinks of him.

"My dad used to say, beware of men who like to show off in front of children. And I think the president's discussion with schoolchildren [on Tuesday] is a good example of a man to beware of."

Nails it....

Quite an article in one important respect: This guy Scheuer has had a reputation as a flaming leftist for years at the LA Times.

On second thought, I’m probably thinking of a different Scheuer. LOL.

Obama 'Doesn't Have a Clue' about Terror Threat to America

I disagree.

Obama believes white Americans are the terrorists.
He really is on the side of the muslim crazies.

The muslim terrorists (like the 9/11 hijackers) and the Obama administration both want to destroy America as we know it.
The difference is that is that the muslim terrorists want to destroy the buildings, ruin the economy, and kill the people.
Obama and his cohorts want to destroy the Constitution, control the economy and rule the people.

I am fully aware that while Obama is black he is actually my blood on his fathers side more of Arabian ancestry.
I cannot see any sympathetic response from any person with Arab bloodlines.

The terrorists that attacked America were Arabs, they hate America and will keep on trying every day regardless to find any way they can to bring America down, they will infiltrate, invest billions of dollars and will keep on working to be termites in our infrastructure.

No amount of somber silence by Obama will make me believe he feels remorse over 9/11.

It’s becoming more clear and more clear; Obama is not a man of America.
