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?

"Ritter = TRAITOR"

No he is just a nut and a crank. Not even the left takes him seriously anymore. He has been totally discredited.

Ritter is so stupid maybe he is hoping to seel books at the next DU/KOS convention but besides that it sounds like his book is going to the dollar discount bin outside the Barnes and Noble.

"Scott Ritter: Iran Only Wants Peaceful Nuclear Power" The DNC Handbook teaches you that it's ok to write the words "peaceful" and "nuclear" in the same sentence.

I guess Scott wouldn't have believed Hitler's intentions either, even after he put his plan into action.

Ritter is right up there with Baghdad Bob! Iran is sitting on one of the largest oil reserves in the world! Why the heck do they need "peaceful" or any nuclear power? What an idiot!

Ritter is to weapons analysis what Juan Williams is to journalism.

The reason I know this guy is a fake is because Err Amerika stands by him and has him on the air occasionally for some good ole Bush Bashing. We all know Err Amerika is really the DNC Propaganda network.

“How do I know this? I’ve talked to Bolton’s speechwriter,” Ritter said.

Now why would Bolton's speech writer tell Scott Ritter of all people this?

Now that he has figured out Iran maybe he can tell us what NK is up to. Maybe we have misunderstood them also. (sarcasm)
