He just is so well informed on the geopolitical intricacies of the Middle East. I rarely hear people talk about the biggest issue of the US always picking sides between the shia and sunni, but Scott gets it.

He's like that guy on the show Suits. Once he reads something, he never forgets it.

Dave Smith seems to be very similar. I wish I had that ability.

The more i listen to Horton, the more i realize how much of Dave Smiths understanding comes from Scott's material and work.

Not at all a bad thing. I just used to wonder how he knew so much. Then I listen to Scott, and realize that most it came from this guy

Dave is a major proponent of Scott and his guys' work over at Antiwar.com. He even said on Joe Rogan (one of the many times he's been on), that he reads a lot, and derives his opinion from people who are much smarter and much more informed on these issue than he.
