    Scheuer backs up RP on foreign policy, or maybe RP backs up Scheuer, but Scheuer is no softie. He'd love to capture Bin Laden and torture him with a pair of rusty pliers.

    Michael Scheuer with Scott Horton of Antiwar.com

    http://antiwar.com/radio/2008/04/17/michael-scheuer-4/

    Says that polls show 80% of muslims now show that American foreign policy is considered anti-Islam.

    Says America is becoming one big Israel.

    Ron Paul waged a courageous battle for a sensible foreign policy, and was the only candidate Bin Laden would have feared as President.

    Says the choices are between War and Total War.

    Bin Laden is losing ground in Pakistan.

    Abandoning Pakistan to democratic forces will backfire on the US.

    Talks about energy independence.

    Scheuer is one of the world's foremost Bin Laden experts.

    EDIT:::

    Wow, around 15 minute mark, discusses American efforts that sabotage Israeli security. Really interesting listening.
