I have known several Iranian nationals. Trained by US military (era of the Shah). They were intelligent and no less civil than any other foreign nationals we worked with.

The Iranian people are NO more propagandized by their government than US citizens are propagandized by their government. That is to say, we are ALL subject to the manipulative and predetermined decisions of our authoritative governments, regardless of constituent lives or money spent.

Those who have not figured this out are sadly naive.

Incidentally Iraqi's, Saudi's, and most "Arabs" are every bit or more "Semitic" than Israel's Jews.

And those who have not figured that out are sadly naive.

Is there a college which trains people like Ritter for degrees as weapons inspectors? Or does the UN just hold mass interviews where applicants are asked to disrobe in the dark and find their bare ass with both hands? Then they hire only those who fail the test.

Funny, I thought Ritter was quite experienced at doing that...

If saddam could bury Migs in the sand, how many WMD could he bury in the sand, that we have not yet found. Ritter has been bought.

Geeze! Wasn’t his 15 minutes of fame up, like, years ago? I am so tired of the time of day be given to these people with so-called re-habbed (Dick morris comes to mind)reputations. Ritter is a pervert.

"10,000 bombing strikes, then things spin out of control."
This overlooks the 10,000 bombing strikes.

Uhmmm. Those who think Bush was wrong about WMDs in Iraq, would be real suckers in a shell game. You would lose your money, your house, and your dog. You would never realized that the pea was palmed, and this case, the WMDs slipped into the Syrian shell.

I command you to write 100 times on the blackboard:

Iraq's WMDs were moved by Soviet special forces to Syria.

Ritter did a 180 after being paid off by Saddam Hussein.

NONONONO...NO!!! He said it was going to be in June of 2004 so Bush could win re-election. At least that was what he was preaching with Joe Wilson to the looney left at Universities. Wolf,Wolf, Wolf, Wolf etc.. etc..

"He was right about Iraq. He may have just been lucky, but he was right. There were no WMDs"

Consult the Kurds about that.

He had them. He used them. They are somewhere.

An excerpt-

In 1998 during an interview on NBC TV, Scott Ritter called his former UNSCOM boss Richard Butler "an honest, objective, independent United Nations official." In 2002 during a Today Show interview, Scott Ritter said ""Richard Butler on the other hand is contradictable across the board"…"Kaidia Hamza and Richard Butler are a fraud and a liar respectively" September 16th, 2002) So what happened between 1998 and 2002, when Scott Ritter seemingly, magically changed his mind about Saddam Hussein and Iraq?

In 1999, Scott Ritter was approached by a Detroit area businessman with links to Saddam Hussein, to make a film about the "devasting effects" that U.N. Sanctions have had on Iraq. Ritter completed the film in July of 2000. Ritter was paid $400,000 to complete a one person, two camera, ninety-minute "documentary." Was Scott Ritter "bought and paid for" to change his story by Saddam Hussein? Scott Ritter claims he made no money on the documentary, but did he? On September 13th 2002, Scott Ritter was interviewed by CNN's Paula Zahn. In the interview, Zahn asked Ritter if he thought $400,000 was an "unusual amount" of money to film a documentary. Ritter's response was "no" he didn't think the amount was high. Ritter then went on to say that "other funding sources" had also been located to help pay the expenses of the trip. These sources include anti-war movements such as "not in our name" and the "Institute For Public Accuracy" a San Francisco based organization with ties to "The Workers Party of America" and the "Socialist Workers Party" and at the forefront of mobilizing and organizing Anti War protests. Ironic that the "Institute For Public Accuracy's" communications director is named Sam Husseini.

Ha! That’s right pal. Google Gen. George Sadas, Iraq general who specifically speaks on it, and the role of Syria. But largley nobody on the Left cares anymore...everyone just wants cheaper gas, but they don’t want to take military actions to keep the market stablized to ensure it.

But I care...amongst a few others. Bush needs one last hail mary on Iran before he leaves to set things right.

Wasn’t this guy up to some no good ? Porno, Chasing young girls, Doing something.

On two separate occasions within weeks of each other, Scott Ritter solicited two very young teen girls in online chatrooms. He asked them to watch him masturbate, and arranged to meet them at a Burger King, where he was subsequently arrested by undercover detectives. He's a pervert, which makes him a perfect spokesperson for Progressive Radio.

Welcome to FR. If not sure of spelling or just for good orderly work, please use the spell check feature. My head explodes when I read so many misspelled words and incomplete sentences and I can’t take it much longer. No comment on your questionable ideas.

We only gave hussein about 9 months advance notice we were coming while the president obtained UN, and congressional authorization. Plenty of time to move (likely to Syria, Bekaa Valley Lebanon) bury or destroy anything incriminating. It's quite presumptuous to conclude that "there were no WMDs". We just haven't found any.

When someone is murdered and a weapon is never found, can it be concluded that "there was no murder weapon" since none was found?

Did Ritter issue this statement in front of a local Burger King?
