Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, promoting his book in New Mexico, said that Iran simply wants peaceful nuclear power, not nuclear weapons, and that US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, already has a speech written for the coming US nuclear bombing of Iran.
“We just don’t know when, but it’s going to happen,” Scott Ritter said to a crowd of about 150 at the James A. Little Theater on Sunday night.
Ritter described how the U.S. government might justify war with Iran in a scenario similar to the buildup to the Iraq invasion. He also argued that Iran wants a nuclear energy program, and not nuclear weapons. But the Bush administration, he said, refuses to believe Iran is telling the truth.
He predicted the matter will wind up before the U.N. Security Council, which will determine there is no evidence of a weapons program. Then, he said, John Bolton, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, “will deliver a speech that has already been written. It says America cannot allow Iran to threaten the United States and we must unilaterally defend ourselves.”
“How do I know this? I’ve talked to Bolton’s speechwriter,” Ritter said.
Remember that Ritter also declared early in 2005 that the US would invade Iran in June of that year.
How is it that Ritter understands the intentions of Iran’s government, Rafsanjani, Khatamei, and Ahmadinejad so well? From where does he gain an insight that eludes expert analysts who have paid so much attention to the words and deeds of those men who’ve vowed to see the destruction of Israel and the coming of judgement day?
Ritter is to weapons analysis what Juan Williams is to journalism.
must be the mullas are feeding scott little girls
Because he's a clueless load.
I guess he's done eyeballing kids in the McDonald's playground.
Ritter = TRAITOR
this guy is just one seriously strained nut. i guess he had to take a break from molesting young girls to go try and sell his pathetic, inconsistent, bi-polar book. it's really kind of amusing what he says, really. especially when he looks so earnestly into the camera, like he's about to crap himself all the time. what a pathetic loser.
Lol. I guess he's on the regime payroll now!
I'm sorry I am not intrested in hearing what a child molester thinks about International Realations.
Scott Ritter? I thought he was hooking up with underage girls at McDonalds. What's he up to talking about Iran?
He's getting juicy take out at Burkha King.
Scott Ritter and Cindy Sheehan have a lot in common. Both are addicted to media attention, and if they say the right things, the media will give them what they want.
Might be nice if we started nuking a few of these guys. I'm tired of Islam acting like Nazi jr. and not being given the treatment Nazi's deserve.
Uh, yeah, sure. They're up to their eyeballs in oil. But want to spend billions to generate nuclear energy.
I guess the Islamists have passed Ritter's blackmail folder back and forth among themselves.
Ritter is to weapons analysis what Juan Williams is to journalism.

Or better yet, Ritter is to awareness of foreign intent, as the Clintons are to 'obeying the law' and 'truth'....
*Little* Theater? Is that where peds go to watch movies of *little* girls?
Hey, wait a minute!! Both of those groups need doorstops, don't they?
I thought this was a joke.
I guess Scott Ritter IS a joke. Pathetic.
