Scheuer read for substance: Without an external threat doing something dire, America eats itself from within.
Scheuer hoping to get on TV with his message: It will take an attack by OBL and his chums, a big attack, bigger than 9-11, to get America's head out of its collective arse and away from current self destructive political behavior.
He overstates his case, in my humble opinion.
I also question his judgment and motive. He is trying to parley his insider's understanding of OBL, from back in the day, into a competence for prediction that I don't, among others, have in him.
I think it will take a bit less than something of 9-11 scale to get America's eyes focused. But I agree with him to the extent that is more likely, in terms of politics, that an externally based threat will allow our political leadership to unite the fractured American body politic, as 9-11 did, more readily than any consensus on a domestic problem.
Most of what you fools have written in this thread ought to embarass you. You fell for hype, and gave hype style responses.
Nicely Trolled, Doctor A.
I mark you nine points out of a possible ten.
Glenn Beck ought to be embarassed for his blatant pandering to overhype, and to Scheuer's attention seeking overstatement. (Scheuer doubtless has another book about to go on sale ... ) But lately, Beck has no shame.
He used to be funny, ha ha, a few years ago, on the radio.
Now, he's funny peculiar on both radio and TV. Mutation, not evolution.
