Former CIA employee: Ron Paul is the only one that gets it.
Former CIA employee Michael Scheuer was recently on Bill O’Reilly’s program. This guy is a foremost expert on an issue many people seem heavily concerned with; Terrorism. His conversation on foreign policy on the show included this:
Smerconish: “Among all of them [i.e., the candidates], who gets it in your opinion?”
Scheuer: “Only Ron Paul understood what was going on.”
Smerconish: “And he gets portrayed as a crackpot in certain quarters when he speaks this lingo.”
Scheuer: “Not only as a crackpot but as an anti-American and an anti-Semite and all the rest of the vituperation that comes along with just recognizing the reality of the situation. … Mr. Paul was trying to convince the American people of the threat they lived under, and how to alleviate some of it, and instead he was called unpatriotic and other things.”
