Letter to Editor Thoroughly Explains U.S. Middle East Policies: Clear as Mud!

[laserhaas]

Previously (from Longgggg ago DU archives in 2007) there was a thread "Through Our Enemies Eyes"; which tried to explain the American (right side) of the conflicts in the desert lands and the wrong ideals of guys like Osama Bin Laden. The author of the thread appears to be H20 Man - who opined that;

The following information comes from the 2006 revised edition of Michael Scheuer' book "Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America" (2002). The position that Mr. Scheuer, who headed the CIA's bin Laden unit, takes is -- not surprisingly -- a bit different than that expressed by the majority of our politicians, the media, the public, or DUers. I recognize that, but I am posting it this morning, five years after 9-11, in hopes that DUers will read it with an open mind, and consider the implications of Scheuer's stance. And, if it sounds worthy of further consideration, I strongly recommend that DUers go to a bookstore or library and read the revised edition of this book. Scheuer also authored "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror" (2004).

For a more enlightening reflection on things, one can read the 62nd Comment of the thread;
which happens to be a Letter (purportedly) from Osama Bin Laden.

The following excerpt picture (below) comes to me through the new website of Yabberz (I've opined that the name should have been JibberJabber; but someone said that was taken); where Yabberz led me down the net highway to "VOX"

That reflection was after Yabberz gave me the following details of explaining the United States of America Middle East Policies: on who is our enemy and who isn't (I think).

Everyone seems to give credit to various people - or no one - for the Letter to the Editor "Clear as Mud";
including ProgresoWeekly.us titling a similar/close reflection as "Clear as Mud".

Bill Maher had a general on his show this weekend and Bill said what everyone needs to say and talk about. Bombing ISIS, Osama Bin Laden, or who ever - over there; has nothing to do with a single band of cretins doing nefarious things in our country.

The clarity of it all - is that it doesn't make sense.

I'm just sayin.......
