Scott Ritter: Iran Only Wants Peaceful Nuclear Power
Threatswatch ^ | 2/07/06 | Threatswatch

Posted on 02/07/2006 7:12:56 PM PST by freedom44

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?

Well, that kills all the Happy Meal jokes I've been making about Ritter. Thanks.

I bet Iran wants a "peaceful" return of the 12th Imam during the Apocalypse too.

Well, that is that. What Iran has stated--they wish to incinerate Israel sooner rather than later--should be understood as a metaphor meaning that Iran wishes only the best for their neighbors.

"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."
