Rudy Guiliani is a complete moron, and so is a big percentage of the gullible audience sucked in by Tutti Fruitti Rudy.

They do not want anyone to think about our foreign policy causing terrorism because if we analyze the situation all trails lead back to the zionist entity.

@maxfedor1 People like Ron Paul and Norm finkelstein never have spoken any truth.  But I do agree with you on one thing: Alex Jones is certainly a douchebag!

[beargrizly67]

So, this stinky slimeball Scheuer is against the war all of a sudden? How fine. But it was him who before America went to war with Iraq maintained that Saddam Hussein was connected to 9/11 terrorrists. How about rresponsibility for your words, Mr. Scheuer?

I love how when Michael Scheuer says "... until the United States elects an adult leader..." and up pops a picture of the great Dr. Ron Paul! RP2012!!!

[Janusha]

That Rudy Guiliani guy is going to play the tearjerking 9/11 card til the day he dies.

[swordsman3000]

Michael Scheuer says plainly "The US government supports Fascism and Tyranny in the middle east"
