Former CIA Agent Scolds CNN Anchor: 'You're Just Carrying Water For Obama'
Michael Scheuer, a former counter-terrorism analyst for the CIA, scolded CNN's Christine Romans Thursday for letting her support for the current President show.
Toward the end of a lengthy interview on "American Morning" about the situation in Libya, Romans took issue with her guest saying America is "nearly bankrupt" leading Scheuer to respond, "You're just carrying the water for Mr. Obama" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
KIRAN CHETRY, CNN ANCHOR: You know, you led the CIA unit that tracked Osama bin Laden in 1996 to 1999, and you believe that much like that situation, America's involvement in Libya, could prove to be a recruiting tool for extremists. Why?
MICHAEL SCHEUER, FORMER CIA COUNTERTERRORISM ANALYST: Oh, it's absolutely a recruiting tool. It's the American- led West attacking a Muslim country that has oil.
CHETRY: But they're very careful to say it's the American-led West. That NATO is now fully taking over the operation.
SCHEUER: Well, that --
CHETRY: Yes, our firepower was used in the beginning, but that this is a coalition that includes Arab states.
SCHEUER: That may fool some Americans. It's not going to fool the people who sympathize with bin Laden and other Islamists. This is really a U.S.-led operation.
And you talk about Arab states that are involved -- the Arab states are tyrannies that are hated by their own people. This is -- this is a piece of theater set up by Mrs. Clinton and Mr. McCain and the bipartisan group that loves to intervene abroad.
In the Muslim world, this is Americans killing Muslims again and it looks like it's for oil.
CHETRY: I just want to ask. Are you trying to have both ways in saying that, OK, these are tyrannies that hate their own people, well, that's why we're helping because in Libya, it was the people that wanted Gadhafi out, that they were tired of it. So, weren't we then supporting Islamic democracy, I guess you could say, in these countries where they're tired of totalitarian rule? SCHEUER: If we were supporting Islamic democracy, that would be one thing. But if you listen to Mrs. Clinton and especially rather crazed Ms. Rice at the U.N., this is all about democracy in a world where democracy is not going to take hold.
CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN ANCHOR: I think it's very clear, Michael Scheuer, that you are no fan of this policy and this administration. I think calling Ambassador Rice crazed is certainly a significant charge.
SCHEUER: Well, I don't know. I've just listened to her. You know, that's only my impression.
And I have to say, this is not a Democratic problem, this is a Republican problem, too. Both parties love to intervene in other people's business where there are no U.S. interests at stake and where we spend enormous amounts of money that when we're nearly bankrupt. That doesn't seem to be a wise practice of American statesmanship.
ROMANS: And that's another story, to call the United States bankrupt. The United States is running huge deficits, yes, but the economy and this mission in Libya are two separate issues.
SCHEUER: They're not separate issues, ma'am. You're just carrying the water for Mr. Obama.
ROMANS: I'm certainly not carrying anyone's water. And I will assure you of that.
Michael Scheuer, thank you so much for your time. You know, we had a very long exhaustive interview. You had plenty of time to give your point on that.
As you can see at the end, Romans clearly didn't appreciate being told she was carrying water for the Administration.
Maybe in the future she should do a better job of hiding it.

In regards to Israel, he has nothing against them personally, he just doesn't understand why the U.S. takes such an interest in them when, in his opinion, they are more than capable of looking after themselves. His opinion is that by sticking our (the U.S.'s) neck out for Israel when we don't need to, we just make ourselves into bigger targerts for Islamic radicals.

Submitted by Satchmo on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 10:38pm.
I think you are engaging in a bit of circular logic. Do you think if we subscribe to a non-interventionist policy that we would be a target? I wonder if we would be if we hadn't intervened in many Arab countries since WWII. I believe we can say with certainty that intervening definitely makes us a target, which has been borne out in the deaths of many Americans.
Oh hell no.
Submitted by jon_torlin on Thu, 03/31/2011 - 11:10pm.
No, it's not circular logic, it's KNOWLEDGE. Anyone can tell you it's in their Koran, if they are not of islam, KILL THEM.
The idea that it's been borne out in the deaths of many Americans is ridiculous at best because they've been around FAR LONGER than the USA has been in existence.
Study your history and then get back to us. But if you do study your history, you should be getting back to us in agreement and THAT IS A FACT. If not, you have your head in the sand.(someone else chime in if I'm right or not)

Yes, it was circular logic, and you aren't making any sense. The U.S.' involvement has led to the death of Americans. This is an undeniable fact, and the graves of countless soldiers and citizens are testament. I don't think their families would say it's ridiculous. You say "they" declared jihad on the U.S. in 1993. The U.S. has been intervening in many Arab states decades before 1993. Do you think our involvement in the decades prior to 1993 had anything to do with it? You are also contradicting yourself: either a state of jihad has always existed or it has only existed since 1993. Now, how does the animus against the U.S. since Eisenhower's coup of a constitutional monarch and establishment of a dictator in Iran compare with any tangible animus before that?

2. This is demonstrably false. Please list all of these acts of jihad against the U.S. prior to, oh, 1900 that would support your claim.
3. Yes, certainty. Eisenhower toppled the constitutional monarch of a secular Iran using the CIA. We recruited Nazis to aid in this. Eisenhower put in place a brutal dictator as ruler. The United States continued to aid this brutal dicator for the following 20+ years. I don't think their people looked the other way while they were being oppressed. This gave rise to the Islamic Revolution, and in turn was a cause of the Iran-Iraq War. It is dishonest to say that our intervemtion did NOT make us a target in any way or endanger American lives. Yes, it's a fact even if you wish to have your head buried in the sand or the sandbox, as it were.

Next time they want to draw attention to the bias of the MSM in a very visible way, instead of repeatedly driving trucks around the block, send some interns to Home Depot, Lowes, or wherever they sell them, and get a whole bunch of white 5/gal buckets with handles.
Then, get some stencils that spell out "Obama Water" in big block letters, paint the buckets up, and then take them to the main entrances of the major network's buildings around D.C., New York, and especially CNN Center here in Atlanta, and line them up and down the sidewalks on each side of the doors.
They'll probably get ticketed for littering here, quite possibly arrested in New York, and could very well be summarily shot in D.C., so they are going to have to work really fast to get the buckets in place, then get the hell out of Dodge before the cops show up.

We, in the form the the US Government, is willfully and enthusiastically supporting the replacement of one self-imposed authoritarian government with another, all because we don't like ONE PERSON in that original government. Who, exactly, are these other people in this other "interim government?" No one seems to know, yet we, apparently, fully support them. Does that really make any sense to anyone? It sure doesn't make any sense to me.

Why is it in our national interest to support the insurgents who in my mind are probably suspect and infiltrated by various terrorists or whether there is any overriding national, geopolitical interest involved which makes any sense. All I could muster was that it was Obama's political and maybe personal agenda to intervene. Maybe it is his Bill Clinton moment (bombing of Serbia). Or maybe a Carter moment (confused and utter failure with half measures attempting to rescue the hostages in Iran). Since most modern Dems suck at military and foreign policy matters maybe this is his kicking off his re-election campaign trying to look MARTIAL and PRESIDENTIAL. While the media morphs the Obama chameleon into some kind of political CENTRIST. Or it could be some kind of hidden Muslim sympathy thing or both.

Islam means submission to Allah, so "Islamic Democracy" is an oxymoron, for Islam demands the forced conversion or death of all non-Muslims, including falsely-so-called "moderates" since it's the falsely-so-called "extremists" that are the orthodox Muslims, Americans being about as ignorant about Islam as Christianity and history, as narcissist fools-tools.
Stop immigration of Muslims

Stop immigration of Muslims is the easy answer. Their religion IS POLITICS and their politics is to wipe out anyone who resists. Their goal is to change our laws. Then we will be inferior per their law & worthy of death. They have many, many kids; till they can't have anymore! It is part of their religion and is done to take over. We will be outnumbered at some point (only the Hispanics are really helping to counter this trend).
We don't have any obligation to tear down our Country for their sake. Immigration is not a right and they ARE NOT citizens at that point. We have a duty to protect our country. Their intent is fully exposed in their books & statements of Imams. What happened to protecting us, both foreign & domestics. Freedom of religion was intended for Christians, so that a ruling denomination of the Church would not be set up by the Federal Government. As a matter of fact, this limitation does not apply to States. It restricts the Federal Government by nature, not States.

Look, Islam, and it's followers are by design, a forceful ideology with violent confrontations, a concurring ideology. Why is it then when we discuss Islam, we fail to understand that the only way to keep them in check, is through force, exponential force. When America cleaned out Europe for our friends there, we intervened in those Arab countries, as well as the Persian ones. Did we install leaders who were in our pocket?, you bet we did, and rightfully so, we had enough of war, and all of those Arabs and Persians witnessed the power and might of Americans, and saw the warriors we sent first hand. They didn't want any part of us for many years. Then, along came Jimmy (the chicken) Carter, and kowtowed to the Iranians, the rest my friends is history!
In 2012, we the people MUST, once again, elect a president with the stones to take these cowards on. If the American fighting machine had there handcuffs removed, and given the orders to win the damn war against Islam, it would be over in a year. We the people have been relegated to a laughing stock by these heathens, and yet, we allow our so-called leaders, to continue to put American lives at risk by playing games with these brutes, "NEWS FLASH" they will never quit unless we whip their sorry butts so badly, that they'll be afraid to even look at an American in anger ever again. This nonsense has been going on long enough, allow our troops to win, or bring them home and let the muslims kill each other, WITHOUT a dine of our money.

It's been fairly well proved that CNN is a strong supporter of 'Big O' and a wide swath of their 'journalists' outspokenly favor the strongly socialist agenda his administration, top to bottom, idealistically and in practice actually are driving toward in their opinion and coverage "selection."
