America has had …
America has had good relations with Israel because they are an island of truth, democracy and quite frankly 21st century humanity in a sea of hateful intelligently challenged backward countries.
is that ebonics? …
is that ebonics? Shame on you.
I agree, too bad …
I agree, too bad you mentioned ‘Bush’ in your comment as it was buried under more than a few thumbs down. Keep it up, and stay smart.
Well spoken. …
Well spoken. You’ve convinced me with your outstanding examples that this man far exceeds your own worth.
Well anyone who …
Well anyone who speaks for America’s interest and not “Israeli interest” is anti-semite.
Ridiculous isn’t it.

Americas best interest is to be in good terms with every country. There is no need for hostility in this day and age. Except ragheads ofcourse.. There is no hope for them.
Mr. Scheuer, you’re …
Mr. Scheuer, you’re 15 minutes are up.
We have heard this before, about how a “small minority of Jews” is ruining the world.
Michael Scheuer is …
Michael Scheuer is a maggot infested log of shit.
Absolutely amazing! …
Absolutely amazing!!! This guys knows his stuff. 20 years in the CIA Bin Laden Unit. Can’t get any more knowledge about our enemies than this guy has
Scheuer shows …
Scheuer shows Kreisler for the flacid liberal quisling that he is. Most modern, self-styled leftist beliefs wither in the face of real intellectual power. They have no real world answers to the hard questions. It also appears that he’s ignorant about Clinton’s rendition program, which was as great a “violation of human rights” as anything the Bush administration did. Of course, for me, I have no problem with killing our enemies in war.
America gives me …
America gives me the opportunity to talk this guy talks like some kid that can’t hid how much he hates Jews and how jealous he is that Israel has the power it does.
And I hate to break it to you but it is in Americas best interest to be in good terms with Israel (there is a good reason why the American government works so closely with Israel.

@ArcoFlagellant I …
@ArcoFlagellant I served TAD on the USS Turner Joys somewhat after this event and I met no one I met believed they were attack on Aug, ’64 in The Tonkin Gulf. Even the Navy and Robert McNamara have admitted that fact as well. LB J used that as an excuse to offically start the War in Vietnam. BUSH used Saddams ALLEGED WMDs to start the Iraq
@ArcoFlagellant …
@ArcoFlagellant Most of the American people were highly isolationists. However, the fascists in Europe tried aggressively to recruit the American public as allies in WWII. There also had been fascist plotters to overthrow democracy in America violently and they had significant support in large American businessmen. FDR was well aware of this and took the chance of a Pearl Harbor attack by being tough on Japan. Remember that both Japan and Germany declared war on the US first.
Scheuer really lays …
Scheuer really lays it out @ 39:00 min mark
That intro was …
That intro was awe-inspiring!
What makes America …
What makes America different from any aggressive imperialist power then, if America only exists to use violence to force our system and influence on others?
Also, America wasn’t dragged into WWII, it was an interventionist power – had America not chosen to try to aggressively exert its influence then it could have easily maintained its neutrality in WWII.
In much the same way that the current conflict between the Middle East and the USA is a result of American aggression and intervention.
