British and American leaders likened to Nazi war criminals
By Andrew Sparrow, Political Correspondent
(Filed: 08/10/2005)
Tony Blair and George Bush were compared to Nazi war criminals yesterday by Scott Ritter, the former UN chief weapons inspector.
"Both these men could be pulled up as war criminals for engaging in actions that we condemned Germany in 1946 for doing," he said.
He said the Prime Minister and the US President were "guilty of the crime of planning and committing aggressive warfare". Speaking in London at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Mr Ritter said the two leaders would have been in a much stronger position if they had got a UN resolution explicitly authorising the invasion.
He also said Britain gained very little from the "special relationship". "Britain gets nothing, other than to say they are America's closest ally in Europe," he said.
Mr Ritter, who was a UN weapons inspector in Iraq between 1991 and 1998, said intelligence services had been correct to say that Iraq's missile programme had been destroyed soon after the first Gulf conflict of 1991.
He recalled how he delivered a report in 1992 stating that the programme had been eliminated. It was met with "stony silence" and he was told that Iraq still possessed 200 missiles.
The inspectors returned to track down the weapons, which never materialised.

Yes I remember. Poland was shooting at German planes everyday. Hitler was just finishing a war where Poland was violating the ceasefire agreement. Plus Poland had been defying the United Nations all along. I think there were 17 resolution about Poland's WMD, torture, etc.
Never once do they mention Ritter's other roles: Saddam propaganda film maker, Oil for Food money recipient and child molester.

I like the way he is identified as "the former UN chief weapons inspector" instead of as pedophile.
Been to Burger King lately, Scottie?

This is a shameful thing for this Clintonite scum to say. Irresponsible, but normal for a leftist.

"Britain gets nothing, other than to say they are America's closest ally in Europe," (Ritter) said.
Yeah, because as we all know, Europe's economy is roaring, their military powerful, their ethics pure. Bad choice, Britain!
All I can say is thank God my ancestors got on the boat and shoved off.

"In 1990, Scott Ritter divorced his wife to marry 19 year old Marina Khatiashvili, a Russian Model recruited and used by the KGB to sexually compromise US Intelligence Sources in the 1980's during the Nuclear Disarmament Period."

Somebody needs to send this clymer back to the middle east. If we're lucky, some worthy jihadist will behead him.
