[Miss Marple]

Scott Ritter has done a complete about face from when he testified before Biden. I have no idea why...pay-offs, threats, mental illness, etc. but he has totally lost my respect. I give no credence to anything he says, no matter how reasonable he might sound at the moment.

Plus, he has not been in Iraq for 6 or 7 years so he has no more idea what's going on in there than most of us. I think American intelligence is a bit more up to speed than he is.

Hi Miss Marple! It's been so long since I remember hearing his name, I almost forgot who he was. I guess the idea is "once an expert, always an expert" regardless of contact, right?

I tend to agree with you, MM. He seemed, today, a little big-headed when he expounded on Iraqu's lack of bio & chemical warheads. To speak of today's Iraq as if he knew it, is a little careless. He knows no more than we do, IMHO. He was quite proud of his movie, coming out, the fact that the FBI said it was good, etc.

I heard Sen. Lugar yesterday, for a few minutes, and he said the President was getting a "little weary" of the media's constant talking of the "invasion of Iraq", he hasn't considered it. I cannot remember our President ever saying anything about an Iraq invasion......it seems to me that this is a media thing. They are bored with Afghanistan, so they want another front to "jump on". Kosovo has completely dropped off the liberal tv screens, newspapers, & magazines.
Today it is the stock market and how it has gone in the tank and the presstitutes hope the market will be terrible in time for the elections.

I guess if you're one of the good ole boy democrat, the "ethics" committee will only slap your wrist leaving you free to ride to the senate again. Yet, the fellow who "forced" a gift on the ole boy is in jail. What a farce!
