Just saw this on another board. Anyone get a recording or hear it?
I was just listening to the Radio Factor, with a guest host for Bill O'Reilly. He had Michael Scheuer on as a guest. Michael Scheuer is the foremost expert on Bin Laden as a 22 year veteran of the CIA and Chief of the Bin Laden issue station. He was talking about us understanding the reason that Bin Laden had declared war on the US and specifically stated that it is our foreign policy. While the extremists in the Middle East don't like our corporate intrusion or our willingness to give women equality, they failed to gain support in a holy war through the Ayatollah Khomeini in the early 80s. Bin Laden realized the history and knew he could gain traction in the issue that 80% of the Middle East population agrees with, and that is our foreign policy.
When the guest host asked him to imagine that we had all of the original presidential candidates back in the ring, who out of them understand this, he answered, only Ron Paul. He says that our other candidates have failed miserably because they don't want to take the time to read Bin Laden's writings and understand history, they simply want to react.
Did anyone else catch the interview? I was shocked that O'Reilly would have that viewpoint on his show, and pleasantly surprised that his guest host didn't disagree with that viewpoint.
