Michael Scheuer Quotes

Bin Laden does reprehensible activities, and we should surely take care of that by killing him as soon as we can. But he’s not an irrational man. He’s a very worthy enemy. He’s an enemy to worry about Picture Quote #1

Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there Picture Quote #1

When you cut down to the micro-level in the West, I think we have a great deal to be worried about. And it’s odd because the American leadership, again in both parties, tends to take comfort in the idea that bin Laden is just an inspirational symbol now Picture Quote #1

We’ve gone thorough religious wars and civil wars. America has gone through slavery, we’ve all gone through two world wars, segregation. Ultimately it’s been a bloody, trying, wasteful, but eventually positive struggle Picture Quote #1

The war in Iraq - if Osama was a Christian - it’s the Christmas present he never would have expected Picture Quote #1

It’s not a choice between war and peace. It’s a choice between war and endless war. It’s not appeasement. I think it’s better even to call it American self-interest Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in inevitability. But I think it’s pretty close to being inevitable...Yes, I think it’s probably a near thing Picture Quote #1

Initial incompetence is not a reason to be dismissive of capabilities. Al Qaeda itself was incompetent when it started as a terrorist organization. And clearly it’s gone from blowing themselves up to knocking down the World Trade Center Picture Quote #1

The world is lousy with Arab princes. And if we could have got Osama bin Laden, and saved at some point down the road 3,000 American lives, a few less Arab princes would have been OK in my book Picture Quote #1

No one should be surprised when Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda detonate a weapon of mass destruction in the United States. I don’t believe in inevitability. But I think it’s pretty close to being inevitable Picture Quote #1

I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much. So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor Picture Quote #1

It’s not a choice between war and peace. It’s a choice between war and endless war. It’s not appeasement. I think it’s better even to call it American self-interest Picture Quote #1

I’m much better informed than Mr. Clarke ever was about the nature of the intelligence that was available again Osama bin Laden and which was consistently denigrated by himself and Mr. Tenet Picture Quote #1

The treatise found that he was perfectly within his rights to use them Picture Quote #1

A nuclear weapon of some dimension, whether it’s actually a nuclear weapon, or a dirty bomb, or some kind of radiological device. Yes, I think it’s probably a near thing Picture Quote #1

Where he was, where his cells were, where his logistical channels were, how he communicated. Who his allies were. Who donated to them. I think it’s fair to say the entire range of sources were brought to bear Picture Quote #1

The uniqueness of the unit was more or less that it was focused on a single individual. It was really the first time the agency had done that sort of effort Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in inevitability. But I think it’s pretty close to being inevitable... Yes, I think it’s probably a near thing Picture Quote #1

Our leaders continue to say that we’re making strong headway against this problem. And I think we are not Picture Quote #1
