Scott Ritter on Fox and Friends doesn't believe the anthrax is from Iraq but from "McVeigh" type "right wing" groups here in the USA.

Where is the text and quotes, please.

What did the Iraqis do to Scott Ritter's brain? Whatever it was, it proves that UN weapons inspector duty in Iraq is very hazardous to your gray matter.
To: GuillermoX
PS: Did they think to ask Scott how Timothy McVeigh type managed to mail some anthrax from Malaysia and then hightail it back to Trenton, NJ to post a few more?

Yesterday, Ritter and Alex Brody of the BBC Newshour were also theorizing that it was the militia movement. Ritter is the ex-weapons inspector calling for the end of sanctions against Iraq.

This is the opinion of a knowledgable man as to the SOURCE of the poison The only possible "knowledge" that might have caused him to connect this to "'McVeigh' type 'right wing' groups" is if he checked his bank account to verify the "knowledge" that the DNC's check didn't bounce.

This is really starting to pi$$ me off. Hubby and I were discussing this last night, I pointed out to him that because people who are nutcases have a bend to the right regarding their ideas doesn't make them "right wing."
Never once did I call Ted Kazinsky a "left wing" extremist. Nor did any of the media.
Let's just call them what they are, crazy/evil people.

The rather frightening situation is that it could be any number of groups behind the anthrax mail. It could be crackpot political right-wingers, crackpot right-wing end-timers, hard-core Marxist/Communist revolutionaries, anarchists, cultists we dont yet know about, or crazy Islamic Arabs.

It's amazing that those evil right wingers knew to start sending out Antrax
before September 11. The Anthrax sent to Kenya from Atlanta was mailed on September 9. How did the right wing crazies know that this was a good time to send out Anthrax, Scott? Just a coinkydink?
What a maroon!
Note that if it is a right wing crazy, it's not his fault. If it's an Islamic connection, it may be his fault for doing such a poor job of chasing down Saddam's bio-terror network.

This ex-employee of the UN blaming the American patriot movement is news - not just an anthrax scare. The significance is that, if they succeed in shifting blame from the fascist muslims, it will help the UN agenda of discrediting the rights of American citizens to be armed and form militias. Naturally the UN doesn't want that, as they'd like to relieve us of our God-given rights, replacing them with burocract-given rights.

Ritter has become a buffoon. The jury is still out as to who precisely is responsible for these mailings. For Ritter to blame a group based upon pure speculation at this point is utterly irresponsible. (His credibility should be hovering near Sharpton levels.)
To: steve-b
Perhaps the whtie powders sent to abortion clinics were fakes meant to create a possibility of blaming the "vast right wing conspiracy."

Not only did he say that; never hesitating to emphisize, "possibly" et all.
But he also saw to it he sucked-up to the
Lamestream media in what I thought a most foul way.
There's *something* about this guy that doesn't square-up.

Good Work! I was worried you hated my legacy.

Ritter is nuts. Appearing in a panel discussion on the History Channel last week, he was nearly incoherent.
First he insisted that "there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq". Then he said his UN team was forced out with "90 percent of the job done." When asked how he knew there was nothing in Iraq - since they left with 10 percent of the job undone, Ritter insisted that the remaining 10 percent was "only documentation and inventories." He insisted he had "complete access" because "I was in Saddam HUssein's bathroom" and talked to the highest levels of Iraq's intelligence agencies. But when pressed, he could not answer the repeated questions about his certainty that there were no WMD in Iraq, since he hadn't gotten the inventories, as he previously admintted.
Throughout the discussion he was hostile, angry, combative, and just plain rude (while the other panelists were quite accomodating to his wierd outbursts).
Ritter became nearly apoplectic when Iraq's potential involvement in WTC 9/11 was raised, saying that the alleged sightings of bin Laden in Bhagdad were sheer nonsense, and that other sightings of Atta and Iraqui intelligence were also nonsense. He offered as proof that "I was in the el Rasheed Hotel in March 1998, and I didn't see bin Laden."
I don't think anyone on that panel (which included Gerald Posner and a prof from the Naval War College, I believe) could understand the logic behind his random, disconnected, and strange outbursts. I certainly couldn't.
Ritter is a very strange guy, not to be believed. So for him to state that the anthax is driven by "right wing lunatics," with no rationale for saying this, is completely in keeping with the irrational and strange Ritter I saw on television.

"McVeigh" type "right wing" groups here in the USA. There's evidence McVeigh and Nichols were patsies of Middle-Eastern terrorist cells.
If there is a "McVeigh type" American involved, that doesn't necessarily mean Iraq isn't.
This is the key point. And there are a lot of reasons to think groups like this could be working in concert.
- The "John Doe #2 stories"
- Their shared anti-semitism
- The historic cooperation between Nazi's and Arabs dating back to WWII.
- McVeigh's "conversion" did after all occurr in Saudi Arabia

Did FOX news ask him questions that dispute his opinion??FNC has been acting goofy lately IMHO, this morning they didn't correct Mancow when they were talking about Harrigan getting nearly shelled with Taliban shells. Mancow thought they were ours and when E.D. went to correct him she was cut off or so it seemed.
