Michael Scheuer suggests Paul, Kucinich would be best on terror
Date: 02/22/2008
By Cody Thompson

The former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit Michael Scheuer appeared on yesterday's Hannity & Colmes to give his opinion about what candidate would be best at fighting the war on terrorism.

After airing a clip of McCain criticizing Obama's plan on fighting terror, Rich Lowry (who was filling in for Hannity) asked Sheuer, "Is either of them right?"

"I think both of them (McCain and Obama) are equally unable to cope with the threat represented by Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the Islamists," Sheuer responded. "They really don't have a clue about what this war is about."

He continued, "Mr. McCain is very confident, but he's clueless. Mr. Obama is equally clueless.

"They continue to tell Americans, 'These people are Islamo-fascists, and they hate us because of our freedoms,' and 'they hate us for our liberties.'

"What they hate us for is the unusually virulent strain of obsessive compulsive disorder that's present in the American governing class, and that's called interventionism. That's what the cause of this war is. And neither Mr. McCain, nor Mr. Obama, nor Mrs. Clinton, nor any of the rest of them who are in the campaign—except Mr. Paul, Mr. Kucinich perhaps—had that idea."

and of course the CIA has such a great history when it comes to dealing with terrorists.

Scheuer is right. Although I find it laughable that McCain thinks Obama is "naive" for saying he would go into Pakistan if they had Al-Qaeda intelligence. I guess McCain thinks going after the terrorists who actually had anything to do with 9/11 would be "naive". Whereas he would rather "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran".
