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?
Maybe he's getting money from Iran. Allegedly he did from Iraq, when he did his one-eighty on Iraqi WMDs.
Anyone else curious why lefties who won't let us build a nuclear plant here in the United States are so excited about Iran building one?
Nothing's more peaceful than a pile of rubble.
Ahhh, so the most infamous Burger King customer of all time proclaims that Iran only wants "peaceful" nuclear energy eh?
Ohhhhhkay Scotty-boy, perhaps you can explain the statements of Iran's nutball leader who has stated that Israel should be "wiped off the map", and is adamant about Iran's "right" to do whatever they want when it comes to nukes.
Who bankrolls this creep anyway?
Scott Ritter doesn't think with his head.
This article convinces me that my theory on Ritter helping Sadam hide or get rid of the WMD's may be correct; the man is 100% corrupt (IMHO).
Ritter is to weapons analysis what Juan Williams is to journalism.

Hey come on. Ritter is like "Baghdad Bob", without the delivery.
Juan Williams is actually pretty cool. He's got spunk. :)
Ritter's a punk.
Yeah...um, Scotty...why does Iran NEED enriched Uranium? Is enriched Uranium used in "peaceful nuclear power"? What arte the odds on that Scotty?
Yeah, you know it...so...when you were arrested, what were you doing to that little girl you picked up in the chat room?
Did you at least offer her some primo weed?
So I guess the signs are still valid...
"Nothing's more peaceful than a pile of rubble."
I dunno, I've always preferred the smooth look of glass...
And Scott only wants to date adult women who just happen to look pre-pubescent.
Iran, a major oil-producing country, doesn't need nuclear power. But some people want us to ignore this fact.
From 1933-1939, Hitler didn't need to build a modern army to keep France or Poland from invading Germany. But some political simpletons, like Neville Chamberlain, believed that Hitler wanted peace...

Umm, someplace near a playground or middle school?
Ritter has to be on some Islamic payroll or being Blackmailed (possibly over his taste for under aged girls). Even outright insanity would not explain some of the crap he puts out. He flipped from being a zealous arms inspector to being an apologist for Saddaam and now this. Somebody over there owns him and is running him.
Whose payroll is he on this time?
Juan is just wrong, but he's a good American. Ritter is a freaking traitor.
Scott who?
