Michael Scheuer--former CIA analyst

[RationalThought110]

It seems like he agreed with Chaim on issues.   Was he ignored while he worked for the CIA?

[mord]

His a liar he claims there was no ties btw Al Qaeda and saddam yet in the indictment of saddam that he wrote he claimed they had ties

JOHN adds: That's an interesting change of heart on Scheuer's part. Scheuer was the head of the CIA's bin Laden unit in 1998, when Clinton's Justice Department indicted bin Laden. Here is a paragraph from Count 4 of the indictment:

Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezballah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States. In addition, al Qaeda reached an understanding with the government of Iraq that al Qaeda would not work against that government and that on particular projects, specifically including weapons development, al Qaeda would work cooperatively with the Government of Iraq

  he also is anti Israel

CFR File: Michael Scheuer's Anti-Israel Leanings, And Ron Paul Supporter
 So here comes the likes of Michael Scheuer, who was involved in a 22-year career of tracking the likes of Osama bin Laden. But what's not so surprising about Scheuer is not just his anti-Israel leanings, but his connections to Fabian Socialist and pro-Communist organizations that act as "think tanks" for the U.S. government such as the Council on Foreign Relations as a prime example of a Fabian/pro-Communist organization Scheuer has been quite involved. But what other sort of deceitful organizations Scheuer has a run in, besides the CFR? Well, there seems to be the likes of the pro-Putin Antiwar.com, run by none other than Kremlin Dennis (i.e. Justin Raimondo), to which Scheuer's pieces on the Iraq war and Israel are often being promoted. Now seriously, just what's the matter with Western intel in general, when you get someone like Michael Scheuer collaborating openly with Antiwar.com which collaborates with the Communist Party USA in a Communist front known as United for Peace and Justice, along with having its members' articles end up being promoted by the Pravda, organ for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation/Soviet Union? Scheuer during his time at the CIA was suppose to find bin Laden, but instead, he seems to be favored by the network of Fabian Socialists and pro-Communist types in the U.S. to promote and mainstreamize disinformation instead.

Anyway, here's more on Scheuer's anti-Israel leanings:

He Missed More Than Bin Laden....

By Donald Meissner
FrontPageMagazine.com July 25, 2007

The establishment media's favorite terrorism expert in recent years has been Michael Scheuer -- and Scheuer's favorite scapegoats of late have been shadowy, Jewish "Israel-firsters who dominate the American governing elite."

In part, Scheuer's status in the media is owed to his status as former director of the CIA unit responsible to apprehend Osama bin Laden. In part, this is due to the fact that Scheuer appears to enjoy disparaging his former employer.

He recently echoed the Left's criticism, telling ABC News, "We've tried to do Afghanistan on the cheap, and it's going to cost us domestically in terms of the next attack on the United States."

However, Scheuer's 2004 critique of U.S. foreign policy Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror, indicts more than President Bush. He blames Jewish "neo-conservatives" and implicates Israel in America's victimization.

"Surely there can be no other historical example of a faraway, theocracy-in-all-but-name of only six million people that ultimately controls the extent and even the occurrence of an important portion of political discourse and national security debate in a country of 270-plus million people that prides itself on religious toleration, separation of church and state, and freedom of speech."

Scheuer's characterization of Israel as a theocracy is ludicrous -- Israel is the only secular democracy in the Middle East, with citizens free to practice any religion, or none at all. At least Scheuer's predilection is clear: he does not hide his antipathy for the secular Jewish state.

On April 9th of this year, in a speech to the Center for Naval Analysis, Scheuer said:

"By defining bin Laden and his ilk as would-be Islamist Hitlers, the U.S. citizen Israel-firsters who dominate the American governing elite ensure that those who question the nature and benefit of current U.S.-Israel ties are slandered as pro-Nazi, anti-Semites."

In this case Scheuer, citing no specific evidence, invents a Jewish conspiracy theory. In his world the U.S. political, economic, and military alliance with Israel is a reverse proof that U.S. policy is "dominated" by that interest group. Who are these shadowy dominators, and what is the source of their awesome power? Scheuer has no answers, only insinuation and circular logic.

Scheuer publicly defended the innuendo-ridden Walt-Mearsheimer report, which he said "critiqued at length the prolonged, deranging, and clearly negative impact the Israeli lobby has had on the formulation and conduct of U.S. foreign policy." Not everyone would stand by the ludicrous report. The imprimatur of Harvard University was rescinded from Walt-Mearsheimer. Numerous scholars, including Alan Dershowitz, have documented the report's errors of fact, omission, inaccurate citations, and lack of adherence to basic scholarly standards regarding sources and interpretation.

Also troubling, in 2005, Scheuer remarked to the Council on Foreign Relations that Israel operates in America "probably the most successful covert-action program in the history of man." His lone example was the Holocaust Museum in Washington -- as though Israel arranged the Holocaust for the purposes of manipulating U.S. foreign policy.

Now that you know the consipatorial musings of Scheuer's imaginative mind, several questions arise: How does a top CIA official develop and espouse views diametrically opposed to U.S. foreign policy since 1948? Is he correct in his assertions?

Like other analysts who consider the U.S.-Israel relationship a root cause of Muslim fury -- august minds like Jimmy Carter, Pat Buchanan, Mel Gibson, Norman Finkelstein, and David Duke -- Scheuer is primed and ready to be called an anti-Semite, so don't go there. A greater rhetorical faux pas would be to mention the Holocaust, or to reference Munich.

There is one sure way former staffers like Scheuer, a self-described "life-long Republican," enter the limelight and lecture circuit: vehemently criticize the Bush administration, and blame the entire morass on Israel and anonymous, perfidious Jews. That is truly what Scheuer and his ilk intend when they conjure and decry an imaginary pro-Israel hegemony within the United States.

Is it possible that a mere six-million beleaguered Jews in Israel, many recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union, Africa and elsewhere, could manipulate the world's only superpower? How many "Elders of Zion" live among us here in the United States? To paraphrase Natan Sharansky, from his book The Case for Democracy: to demonize, delegitimize, and hold Israel to a double-standard is modern anti-Semitism. To anyone who studies world history and the Hebrew Bible, this prepossession and prejudice remains as old as the Judean hills.

The Jews, slaughtered and repeatedly exiled from nations of the Diaspora, are now forced to entertain the mortifying question of their "right to exist" in their sliver of a homeland. The conspiratorial anti-Israelis profoundly misunderstand the meaning of their one correct conclusion: Israel represents the essence of the struggle. The Jews were participants in the Genesis of Western civilization, contribute fully to the blossoming of our advanced culture, and will still exist when the walls come tumbling down. For Scheuer and his cohorts, Jews are hastening its demise.

If that's his best analysis of world history, his analysis of bin Laden may also be suspect.

Also more about Scheuer, he is also a supporter of the likes of Ron Paul, who embraced the Council on Foreign Relations dominated administration of Ronald Reagan who pulled out from Lebanon after an early attempt by PLO-trained Hezbollah terrorists massacred over 200 U.S. soldiers stationed in Lebanon. It's certainly no wonder why the network of Fabian Socialists and pro-Communist types seem to get along with Faux Rightists like Ron. From the man who was suppose to hunt bin Laden during his 22-year career in the CIA, and the network of Fabian Socialists and pro-Communist types meddling into an agency that is suppose to protect America from terrorism, it's certainly no major surprise that Scheuer would be infected with promoting disinformation for the network of Fabian Socialists and pro-Communist types, even if it means being well connectted with Antiwar.com which has openly favored the likes of Soviet-Russian dictator Comrade Czar Vladimir Putin

I'm having some trouble understanding you so you'll have to clarify.


Are you saying that he used to say that there were ties between Saddam's government and al-Qaeda but now says it's not the case.  And that he used to lie when he claimed there were ties between Saddam's government and al-Qaeda?


I think Dick Cheney continued to insist within the past year that there were ties between Saddam's government and al-Qaeda; he's only repeating the claims of the so-called expert, Scheuer? 

[RationalThought110]

Does the owner of that blog know about JTF?

[mord]

No the lieing Paul supporter scheuer now says on t.v. osama had nothing to do withe saddam however in an indictment he wrote up in 97 he said they do have ties

[mord]

Does the owner of that blog know about JTF?

I don'nt know that but maybe he be should contacted to join

[RationalThought110]

No the lieing Paul supporter scheuer now says on t.v. osama had nothing to do withe saddam however in an indictment he wrote up in 97 he said they do have ties

So then isn't it Scheuer's fault that people were connecting Osama and Saddam?  Those frauds Paul and Scheuer want to blame the "neocons".  Scheuer is the "neocon."

[mord]

No Scheuer originally said saddam and Al Qaida had ties,now to sell books he says they don'nt.
