Michael Scheuer’s Nuclear Nut Meltdown [UPDATED]

Wow. claiming an attack would save us takes my breath away both for it’s moral depravity and because it is probably wrong. I shudder at what Barry “don’t let any crisis go to waste” Obama would pull if we were attacked again. Of course, he’d have to think about it for a few days first.

Though, sending 1500 unarmed National Guard troops to the border seems farcical. Why are they bothering?

At the risk of repeating my self and offending the spam god…

After watching the clip, any sane person would have only one conclusion.

He is off his freaking rocker! Anyway, Glen Beck thinks he is “honest and a man of integraty”…nuff said.

No wonder UBL is still out there.

Any time now UBL will fly over here using his telekinetic powers and warp the steel beams of the Empire State Building into a deadly barrage of missiles.

Or something like that.

Will the Man of Spiel be able to put down his smoke and stop UBL in time?

Tune in next weeks for the exciting conclusion.

And now a word from our sponsor, Bamboozletine.

My disdain for this man is already on the record

Larry, you’re so funny! He sounds like a loon, to be sure.

What I’m wondering about is: what do you think of Leon running the cia? If you’ve already done a post on him, I must’ve missed it.

It’s hard to tell which is the biggest nut in that clip, but Beck is just trying to stay relevant I suppose.

Mr Scheuer and Dick Cheney both seem to relish the idea of another terror attack to validate themselves and, one day, they will no doubt find their wishes have come true. The FBI recently released reports on the interviews with Saddam Hussein after his capture. Bitter irony. Saddam was concerned the IAEA would discover there were no weapons leaving Iraq vulnerable to Iran. Take a bow Cheney. Who would Iran fear most? Iraq with Saddam or Iraqi police when American troops have left the room?

I also disagree with the idea of an armed National Guard on the border with Mexico. Who would they shoot? Members of a drug cartel or innocent people looking for a better life and how will they know the difference? Or doesn’t it matter?

Anyone who addresses everyone he speaks to as “Mr.” and “sir” is not all there. I think he proved to be a bit off and not sure why these shows still invite him on.

Larry,

I used to think that one couldn’t spend too much time in the library. Then along came Scheuer.

I have to say it Larry: Michael Sheuer brings out the best in you. While your writing is always excellent and often hilarious, this buffoonish man takes it to another level. Sort of like when Tom Shales used to write his reviews of Kathie Lee Gifford’s dreadful Christmas specials. He had so much contempt for her that she was his greatest muse. Keep it up!

The only time I’ve watched Glen Beck has been when videos of him are posted here. I have a little trouble with his highly-emotive style. But he’s only one of many drama queens on TV these days. I miss the likes of David Brinkley more and more as time goes on.

As well, I had trouble following the trajectory of this discussion, turning on a dime as it did from being about the Mexican border to Osama bin Laden. Maybe I just haven’t had enough coffee yet.

Larry,

Scheuer appears to have gone off the deep end, or was he always missing a few to begin with? I think its the fomer, that he never had it.

Scheuer is all about lining his personal pocket while he can before the world realizes what a buffoon he was/is.

The real question is – right now, who is the bigger threat – Osama or Obama?

Going on the Glen Beck Show is the first clue of insanity. His viewers are the types who wear tin foil on their heads.

Larry: thanks for a good laugh.

Seriously, people who equate Barack Obama with Osama bin Laden are not paying attention. Where were you when Bush looked the other way and let the terrorists strike us?

I don’t like Obama, but crazy talk does not further the agenda of reclaiming democracy in America.

IS MICHAEL SCHEUER ACTUALLY AYMAN AL-ZWAHIRI?

Has anybody seen them in the same room together?

I’m sorry, but when are we going to stop thinking that Obama has good intentions about this country? Advocating another 9/11 is not the most responsible thing to say, but I must admit with things going the way they are with Obama, that time will come again. I believe Obama is out to destroy this country from within. He is just a lying sack of shit with his own agenda and it doesn’t include the safety, security and prosperity of this country. You can mince words if you want to, but we are in shitload of trouble with Obama in command. We are in crisis overload in this country and everything has to be done NOW without any checks and balances – hell Congress doesn’t even READ what they vote on!!! The MSM won’t report on anything negative about Obama. Beck and Scheuer are not nuts, they are merely reflecting the insanity that is taking over this country.

Well, I guess the comment above from Dutch is also reflective of the insanity that is taking over this country. I am not sure which sacred cows Dutch is worrying about, but if he/she truly believes our president is sincerely *out to destroy this country from within* then the time has come for Dutch to get away from the keyboard and get to either the southern border or to the mountains of Aghanistan. Larry we argued long and hard about the *true believers* while we sat in Langley. Your site seems to have uncovered a few more.

Larry, Gris,

Sheuer is all about garnering himself a one-man comedy act.

Happy 4th one and all. Stoke up the grills for lip-smackin BBQ, Ribs, Chicken, Bratwursts, Burgers, Wiener dogs, Tater Salad, Pork-n-Beans, Tea, JD Black label, Beefeater, Johnnie Walker, so the world becomes blurry from the grill to the chair and back. Yee Haw!

Luv having my own locker calves and such. Makes for a hearty BBQ and full stomach on the 4th.

Again, Happy 4th one and all!

To: griswold and Larry Johnson

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

My view still is that the greatest threat to this country is Obama. I hope he proves me wrong, but I don’t have high “hope”s he will. Contrary to your remark Larry that “I don’t think Obama is clever enough to cobble together a secret plan to destroy from within” is very naive. He is not a “kid” and he may not be doing it on his own, but yes, he can. I never underestimate any politicians. Get out of the “world” and look inside your own backyard. Why do we have so many “crisis” situations? Wallstreet, Healthcare, Global Warming, a meaningless Press and who knows what’s next? Check out the “Cloward-Priven Strategy”. Obama has ties to so many subversives in his background that it’s scary. I thought from the very beginning of watching Obama that he had another agenda. I come from a background of witnessing a real fascist takover and the signs are here – even if you are too chicken to look. Larry, you run the risk of becoming irrelevant if you turn a blind eye to dangers from within. That’s what’s needed in order for fascism to succeed.

What I don’t get is how people with views so far out of the mainstream like Scheuer get to hold and retain such high positions of trust in the intelligence community. On a slow news day Larry please, explain that to us.

lmao- larry this is too funny. hadn’t seen the resemblance till you pointed it out. omg! your are so right! too funny. i’m still laughin at some of your post. but, it’s true. lol.

Scheuer is kinda out there for me, but I think the only reason Beck likes him is because Scheuer just says it. He has no filter, just like Beck. And for me, it’s refreshing for someone to just tell me what they think than to hide and obfuscate.

Still the larger point is accurate. The trust gap between the DC crowd and America is growing wider. And any major event is going to split that gap wide open. (I think it’ll be the economy.) He could have found a better way of saying it, though.

Al-Zwahiri’s photo displays clear evidence that he was dropped on his head as a child. I’m studying Scheuer’s hairline trying to decide if he might have been bonked on the head at exactly the same spot.

Michael Scheuer Responds;

What I tried to say on FOX last night is what I said in my last two books. I believe that our governing elite has a single foreign policy vis. the Muslim World and that it has no contact points with reality. Americans are therefore very inadequately protected. I increasingly believe that our leaders’ perception of the threat and attempts to defeat it are verging on the feckless, and that most Americans — concerned with the economy, raising families, and quite insular in any event — do not recognize the poor job leaders in both parties are doing in defending their country, homes, and family. I am afraid that another, greater-than-9/11 attack will occur — because our leaders see the world that they want to be and not the one on offer — and that only then will Americans starkly see what I believe is unconscionable failure of the federal goverment to put their safety first. My bottom line is that there will be another attack because the Republicans and Democrats are abject incompetents and because our current economic state is too good a chance for bin Laden not to try to push forward al-Qaeda’s “bleed America to bankruptcy” strategey . Far from wishing for another attack, I trust that Churchill’s judgment that God looks out for drunks and the United States of America still holds good and and we remain safe. God better do the job, because no one in our elite is doing it.

Respectfully, Mike Scheuer

So does this mean Fox News is akin to Al Jazeera?

Scheuer responds.

Why is this man given so much airtime, heralded as an expert of anti-terrorism? I watched a clip where Glenn speaks to Scheuer’s credentials, makes a comment about how long Scheuer has worked in “the White House, spoken directly to Presidents” on critical matters. Scheuer corrects him but then adds that he’s dealt “with the highest, senior officials.” Which, of course, doesn’t leave presidential or next in line officials out. This is weasal positioning at best.

But I have to be honest. Until I read Larry J.’s former putdown of Scheuer, I assumed [bad thing to do] that the man’s credentials had been thoroughly vetted, that he was speaking with the CIA’s voice.

It’s just another example of how we’re being manipulated by all outlets, right, left, libertarian, whatever.

Personally, I found this interview reckless and completely irresponsible. An Osama attack is the only road to our salvation???

Please!! Using our critical thinking skills and our bullshit meters is the real avenue.

And Glenn Beck, who worries me but sometimes makes a valid point, should have called Scheuer out on that comment. There’s unfiltered, and there’s irrational.

Thank you, Larry, for bringing this to our attention.

We’re surrounded by maniacs! And fools.

Oops! Had another post lost in space. Can anyone retrieve it??

Thanxs!

i,m not worried about osama it,s obama that scares me to death.

I thought the interview was pretty good, especially the part about the unarmed National Guards, until the part about Obama blowing us up in order to get the attention of those “Harvard types.”

Can’t we just vote them out? I don’t think we need to another terrorist attack.

Where was the “nuclear nut meltdown” exactly? Yes, he seems to be obsessed about Osama but that doesn’t change the fact that there are people who’d like to kill Americans just because of their faith or nationality. Nor does it change the fact that illegal immigration causes a lot of negatives.

It breaks my heart to see that the US is following so closely on Europe’s footsteps and rejoicing over the benefits of multiculturalism. Oh, and of course if any problems do occur the blame is always on the Americans. Are you there yet? Because that’s what we’ve been hearing for decades; we’re lazy, racist, genetically bad and we need to be perfected.

The problems in Europe are a bit different than what you’re facing since here it has a lot to do with religion and muslims have become a majority by 2050. The problems are present already and it’s absurd that the people in charge still refuse to see them. We’re becoming the next Balkan and anyone who dares to say a word is jailed. So I don’t have much hope that American politicians would do things differently. The oppressive politics have worked like magic, so far.

A big terrorist attack is exactly what is needed to wake some people up. It would have no impact in Europe since we’re all brainwashed that terrorists are only a group of few people and suggesting they have anything to do with muslims will again land you in jail. Americans still have hope since political correctness isn’t as bad in the States as it is in here.

All my friends who’ve migrated to the US have nothing but good things to say and Americans in my eyes are people who are proud of their country and will go for that extra mile to defend it. But now you’re lead by a weak president who seems to detest his own country and flies all over the world to appease the muslims suggesting that Islam is the best religion in the world. Downgrading oneself is an European custom, we’re professionals in that field and I hope you stop trying to match us!

Please, respect yourself. Be proud of yourself. Defend yourself.

Larry,

Scheuer is symptomatic of a larger problem — wacko prominent NEOCONS have been wishing for attacks in order to bring back their NEOCON AGENDA.

prominent Neocons who have uttered what Scheuer aspires:

Newt Gingrich

“This is … one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration,” Gingrich continued. “The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger. And therefore, the better they’ve done at making sure there isn’t an attack, the easier it is to say, ‘Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.’ And it’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us”. (April, 2008)

Donald Rumsfeld

“That’s what I was just going to say. This President’s pretty much a victim of success. We haven’t had an attack in five years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that it’s not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing’s in Europe, there’s a low threat perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack. And when that happens, then everyone gets energized for another [inaudible] and it’s a shame we don’t have the maturity to recognize the seriousness of the threats…the lethality, the carnage, that can be imposed on our society is so real and so present and so serious that you’d think we’d be able to understand it, but as a society, the longer you get away from 9/11, the less…the less…” (December, 2006)

Stu Bykofsky
(Columnist, Philadelphia Daily News)

“One month from The Anniversary, I’m thinking another 9/11 would help America,” laments Stu Bykofsky in his Philadelphia Daily News column.

“Remember the community of outrage and national resolve? America had not been so united since the first Day of Infamy – 12/7/41. We knew who the enemy was then. America’s fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater. What would sew us back together? Another 9/11 attack.” (August, 2007)

Lt. Col. Doug Delaney
(chair of the war studies program at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario)

“The key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago.” (July, 2007)

Rick Santorum
(former PA Senator)

“Between now and November, a lot of things are going to happen, and I believe that by this time next year, the American public’s going to have a very different view of this war, and it will be because, I think, of some unfortunate events, that like we’re seeing unfold in the UK. But I think the American public’s going to have a very different view.” (July, 2007)

Dennis Milligan
(chairman of the Arkansas Republican Party)

“At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001],” (June, 2007)
