nw_arizona_granny found an Iraqi version of the VVAW website. I had no idea there was a chapter here in NJ. Now quite a few things make sense to me.
Maybe a MIL/Vet ping for a heads up?
"And speaking of Whoppers, I'm late for a date......"
Doesn't rittard still have some child diddling to explain?
After the reelection of Bush, the effectiveness of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the success of the blogosphere, and the success of the Iraq elections, folks like these may have crawled back under their rocks.

LoL! Not this loon.
What, a known sexual predator who switched his tune when accepting money from an accomplice of Saddam Hussein? Oh what a nightmare, next the DNC will make Howard Dean their chairman. This isn't a nightmare, it's a dream come true.
Yes, yes he does indeed!! LOL!
ROFLMPO!! :)
I think this guy is a horse's ass but he was actually right about the WMD which gives him some credibility in some circles....But seems like most other inspectors and his boss at the time have all said this guy is just a loose cannon....can't figure out what the hell is objective is at all
FYI: The worst kept secret on the planet is that all of saddam's WMD's are resting peacefully in the bakka valley of syria.
>>>This article is from 2003.
I included that with the title of my post.
>>>Are you sure that this outfit of professional liars or fools are still in operation?
Their site is included as the link for the article. Their site is current and up to date.
>>>>Any group who would hang their political hat on Scott Ritter, who was apparently a child-molester, and took money from Saddam Hussein, is a few sandwiches shy of a picnic.
The group, VAIW, seems to be an offspring of the VVAW. Hence for the purpose of my post. And also hence for the embracing of Ritter.
>>>folks like these may have crawled back under their rocks.
Apprarently they haven't. Which is the point of my post.
I sure hope they are.....I know he had 'em, just wish we knew what the hell happened to them...even if they were destroyed I'd love to know the whole truth....I hold Syria in less regard than Iran cause they are even more pathetic that I'm sure the Boy Scouts could conquer
We have found at least 53 WMD in Iraq.
Take a look at this CIA report.

Here is a map detaling the finds:

This story is just more repeating the same line to create history instead of viewing reality.
No WMDs? The fact is some WMDs were found. Each time there is a find, the definition of WMDs is chagned to continue to make PRESIDENT Bush look wrong.

In a secret operation, the United States last month removed from Iraq nearly two tons of uranium and hundreds of highly radioactive items that could have been used in a so-called dirty bomb, the Energy Department disclosed Tuesday. "The nuclear material was secured from Iraq's former nuclear research facility and airlifted out of the country to an undisclosed Energy Department laboratory for further analysis," the AP said. "Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham described the previously undisclosed operation, which was concluded June 23, as 'a major achievement' in an attempt to 'keep potentially dangerous nuclear material out of the hands of terrorists.'" And if Bush needs more ammunition to refute Pelosi, he could cite the discovery of Sarin gas-filled artillery shells. "We've found 10 or 12 Sarin and Mustard rounds," Iraq Survey Group chief Charles Duelfer told Fox News, after his team uncovered the WMD cache last June. "We're finding things and we're getting reports of hidden caches almost every day which we have to investigate," Duelfer added. And if the White House wants some dramatic imagery to show how easy it was for Saddam to hide banned weapons, how about those photos of the 30 Iraqi jet fighters that weapons searchers found buried in the sand near Baghdad. Here's how the Associated Press covered that development in August 2003: "American teams hunting for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction found dozens of fighter jets from Iraq's air force buried beneath the sands, U.S. officials say. "At least one Cold War-era MiG-25 interceptor was found when searchers saw the tops of its twin tail fins poking up from the sands, said one Pentagon official familiar with the hunt. He said search teams have found several MiG-25s and Su-25 ground attack jets buried at al-Taqqadum air field west of Baghdad. ..." The find astonished even then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman, now CIA Director, Porter Goss. "Our guys have found 30-something brand new aircraft buried in the sand to deny us access to them," Goss told the AP. "These are craft we didn't know about." No weapons of mass destruction? President Bush needs to spend more time examining the evidence and less time working through his mea culpas with Barbara Walters.
What I am truly sick of is the constant repeating of the quote, no WMDs found. WMDs have been found, we just haven't found everything the CIA, Mossad, Russia, MI6, and hell, even Saddam said was there.
You all fell off my original ping.
