Bush was like Hitler, says weapons man (RITTER AGAIN)
The Daily Telegraph ^ | May 7, 2003 | Hannah Cleaver

Posted on 05/06/2003 10:55:57 PM PDT by MadIvan

Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector, has compared the invasion of Iraq to Hitler's invasion of Poland.

He told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper that 130 Americans had died "for a lie", adding: "I see no difference between the invasion of Iraq and the invasion of Poland in 1939."

Both invasions were based on what he said was an artificial argument of self defence. President George W Bush had used the September 11 attacks as Hitler used the 1933 burning of the Reichstag to repress domestic dissidents.

Mr Ritter, who resigned as an inspector in 1998 saying Saddam Hussein's regime was hindering his work, said he did not now believe there were weapons of mass destruction in the country.

He called for inspectors to be sent back to obtain confirmation, so that UN sanctions could be lifted.

"The inspectors have to finish their work," he said. "This time they must also have the courage to say that the US has not told the truth."

The wheels of justice are starting to turn for George Galloway - it's about time they did for Scott Ritter.

If memory serves, the Telegraph did report about Scott's perversions. In this case they are just repeating what Ritter said to another, foreign language, newspaper.

Okay, let's ask him about his sexual propositions for underage girls and see just how honest this man really is.

Scott Ritter should face up to the fact that anyone with a lick of sense knows that Hussein got his number and put the squeeze on his cojones. The only reason he's still protesting Bush is to project the illusion that Hussein *didn't* have him by the short & curlies.

Let's face it - Ritter is being very sneaky and getting away with it. He's probably got more "skeletons" in the ol' proverbial "pedophile closet" ready to drop out. By jumping on the "conspiracy" and "anti-American" bandwagon he has given himself a "getoutta jail free card." Why? Because when they do come for him because of his sexual predatory ways he'll scream that he was set up because of his viewpoints. Very crafty.

I was just thinking that exact thought. Ritter is practicing positioning. He knows that eventually something much worse is probably going to be found on him. He needs an out. Therefore, he starts making outrageous claims. Now, when they come for him he can claim it is payback for his opinions, his rights are being violated, etc. Scott is not dumb, he is being pro-active. Remember this thought if he continues to get more shrill and vocal.

That bastard also said we could not do ever what we did in three weeks.
He should be in jail. If he's not trying to take down normal Americans, he's trying to bed children.

Somebody get this guy into a nice prison uniform please!!!!
