I thought Michael Scheuer (aka Anonymous and author of Imperial Hubris) had valuable criticisms on US policy and terrorism. Watching this clip of Scheuer on the Glenn Beck show reversed any of those preconceived notions. He's marching to Dick Cheney's tune of hoping the country gets attacked so they can be vindicated and that hateful Obama will fail. Of course, the Bush administration failed when they were needed most: preventing 9/11. Pleading of "they prevented another attack" doesn't pardon them for neglecting their duties.
Anyway, Scheuer is nuts.

I, too, have been perplexed by the seeming inconsistency of some of Scheuer's comments; he can truly be maddening to folks who appreciate the rare brand of criticism he has applied to US/Middle East foreign policy. In his defense, you may want to listen to this interview, given not long after this clip was taken. He does provide some additional context to his Beck comments...but then goes on to perplex me even further:

Peace be with you.
