Thanks for the post. Scheuer is an interesting guy. I'm always surprised when he says that Osama bin Laden is alive.

[PreDeadMan]

excellent excellent interview. Scheuer made some great points.

It is supposedly just to protect the civilians from govt airstrikes. You know, the civilians we're killing with our missiles.

[tpreitzel]

Dozens of cruise missiles? You mean hundreds, or at least 100 plus, or nearly 10 dozen cruise missiles ... ;)

He was right that this is a "Regime Change" mission.

American and European forces expanded their assault in Libya on Sunday, with air strikes damaging the compound of Col. Moammar Gadhafi, as questions mounted about the scope and duration of U.S. involvement there.

"A small, very vocal, group of people inside of Congress that's been saying that"? (4:08)

Let's hear the names of that small and very vocal group!

Surely Fox had enough time to list off of the names of the people in that small group. Maybe they didn't want to give those people legitimacy?

A group of liberal House Democrats, led by Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio) and Maxine Waters (Calif.), “all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality” of Obama’s commitment of forces without prior Congressional approval, POLITICO reported on Saturday.

Air strikes just piss off the survivors. Infantry controls ground and what happens on that ground.

[Jack Bauer]

This guy is perfectly right.

The irrationality of middle eastern politics should be dealt by isolating ourselves from them, not by involving in every small issue those wackos have especially in conflicts we do not comprehend by taking up sides which we do not understand.

WOW! He hit the nail directly on the head in the last 30 seconds of the interview. He spoke simply and clearly; perhaps dumbed it down enough to have an effect on Fox viewers.

Scheuer: "300 million Americans taken to war by a couple of elitists... that is tyranny!"

NICE STATEMENT

Scheuer, does have to remember, a portion of the $75 Billion a year in black money(classified) buys many many assets on the ground, that includes US assets all over Libya. On the those MI6 clowns that were caught on the ground in Libya by rebel forces: http://www.mybloggityblog.com/wordpress/2011/03/sas-caught-with-espionoge-equipment-in-libya/

British SAS operatives and several MI6 agents were caught by Libyan farmers after they were inserted from the HMS Cumberland. The operatives were confronted by the farmers who have ties to the opposition and were forced to open their bags. The farmers then detained the men after finding firearms, communications equipment, jamming devices and multiple passports. According to the British they were there to provide the forces who oppose Qaddafi with those materials. The plan backfired because no one knew they were coming and they looked like mercenaries and Qaddafi has hired mercenaries to come in and slaughter those who oppose him.

***William Hague confirmed the “diplomatic team” had left Libya after experiencing “difficulties”. He said another team would be sent in after consultation with the opposition leadership. Source: The Guardian... article continued
