"Any other Republican candidate or a reelected Obama will keep lying to Americans by claiming that we are being attacked because of our liberties, gender-equality laws, and elections rather than because of Washington’s constant intervention in the Islamic world."

former head of the CIA’s “Bin Laden Unit”, Michael Scheuer in CIA Bin Laden Unit Chief Endorses Rep. Ron Paul (via davereed)

I couldn’t care less who this guy endorses or what he thinks of the candidates and/or Obama….but if this gentleman actually believes that we’re being attacked by Islamists solely because of our “constant intervention in the Islamic world” then he either has his head so far up his ass he can lick his tonsils or the CIA is just hiring morons these days.

Or “constant intervention” is one of the bajillion ‘excuses’ the Islamists use as propaganda for their attacks—not the reason for them.

Saying the reason you’re blowing up schools and murdering innocent people is because of ‘constant intervention’ is much more PC and tugs on the loose heartstrings of emotion-ruled liberals a lot more than if they just came out and said the truth:  They attack us because we don’t believe like them and, because of that, we deserve to die.
