When I read the OBL transcript, the first thing that came to mind was,”time for another Michael Scheuer interview.”
AA posted the following on September 10, 2007 at 11:23 am.
He mentioned Scheuer’s books because Scheuer has been the one saying the public hasn’t been told why we were attacked. He was trying to credibly establish that claim.

MIchael Scheuer is really very good. So far all he says makes perfectly good sense. I hope Scott asks him about Iran and where he thinks this heading.
vineyardsaker posted the following on September 10, 2007 at 11:33 am.
OBL also mentioned Chomsky. Scheuer and Chomsky are two of the most brilliant minds in this country, and that shows that OBL is very well informed about what is going on over here.

I don’t believe that the folks running Russia today would NEVER EVER let Soviet nukes out of total control. These guys are way too ruthless to ever allow anyone to control nukes besides themselves.
Now about the others, Ukrainians for example, I am not sure.

After the tape was released I saw a number of headlines on Google news that said OBL says Americans should convert in order to avoid being attacked. My interpretation of the transcript was very different.
Sure it’s true that Islamic law requires OBL to give us an opportunity to convert before an attack, but I tend to think headlines like the ones that accompanied the release of the tape are misleading as they lead people to believe the reason terrorist attacks occur is that we aren’t Muslims. It may be a goal of their to build a global caliphate, but that is not necessarily why terrorist acts are perpetrated. I think that is why OBL invoked the name of Mike Scheuer.

Michael Scheuer on one hand appears to oppose the neoconservative foreign policy agenda and yet still apparently believes in an interventionist foreign policy. Additionally, why support Dr. Paul if he wants yet another invasion, this time in Pakistan? Scheuer almost appears ot be a fence-sitter in some respects.

“Michael Scheuer on one hand appears to oppose the neoconservative foreign policy agenda and yet still apparently believes in an interventionist foreign policy.”
I’m not sure that’s right. He definitely believes that our interventionist foreign policy has gotten us into this mess, but that at this point it’s a war and that the Qaeda dudes need killed. In a previous interview he told me he sees our choice as war or total war. War if we quit intervening otherwise, total war if we keep doing what we’re doing.
Additionally, why support Dr. Paul if he wants yet another invasion, this time in Pakistan?
Who says Paul wants to invade Pakistan? He has talked about hiring bounty hunters to get bin Laden and Zawahiri but invasion? I don’t think so.
