I guess I usually listen to a little harder to former Marines...
But you're right... he has not been in Iraq for a few years.
Morning NY.
When he first started talking about Iraq not having WMD, I did a search and found out that has done several speaking engagements for the Green Party. Hmmm!!!!
Ritter on PBS Aug. 31,1998..In his own words..
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Mr. Ritter, does Iraq still have prescribed weapons?
Mr. Ritter: "Iraq still has prescribed weapons capability."
WILLIAM SCOTT RITTER, JR.: Iraq still has prescribed weapons capability. There needs to be a careful distinction here. Iraq today is challenging the special commission to come up with a weapon and say where is the weapon in Iraq, and yet part of their efforts to conceal their capabilities, I believe, have been to disassemble weapons into various components and to hide these components throughout Iraq. I think the danger right now is that without effective inspections, without effective monitoring, Iraq can in a very short period of time measure the months, reconstitute chemical biological weapons, long-range ballistic missiles to deliver these weapons, and even certain aspects of their nuclear weaponization program.
