MICHAEL SCHEUER TELLS THE NAKED TRUTH!!!

And is was on Glenda Beck's TV show, perhaps the last place one would imagine that occurring,  One possible reason is that Glenda was out sick yesterday.  A search of Beck's site failed to return a transcript of this exchange but it is available on LexisNexis¹:

SCHEUER: Oh, sure it is. Israel is such an enormous detriment to the United States, relationship with the Israelis, that it's going to become clear to Americans that this is just going to cost us blood and lives the longer we pursue this relationship with the Israelis.
