[My Favorite Headache]

Scott Ritter live interview coming on Fox News in seconds....starting a live thread for those watching and not watching

[finnman69]

Ritter in 2002 "we fundamentally disarmed Iraq"

Ritter in 1998 "Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed."

[OReilly]

Poo poo... I wanted to hear the answer (or more likely see the good doctor continue to try to ignore the question)

Just for the record, what did he get banned for (referencing a web site that someone else did? Emp... new clothes or some such)

I'm not up on that web site, but talking about Group Think, there is some of that alive and well on the right as well, apparently.

[Lazamataz]

I'm sure the AFers appreciate your help.

It is my understand that they rather hate me.

But, Good Ole Rosclueless never lets facts get in the way of a Good Smear.

[Lazamataz]

understand = understanding

[cubreporter]

No, David did very well. Linda talks too much and it takes forever for her to ask a question ... David did just fine and stopped Ritter several times. It was excellent. Boy, Ritter was almost being a cheerleader...can't believe him and he says he was a Marine and that he is for PEACE? Could have fooled me. But..David Asner did a magnificent job. Absolutely!

It's also a great place to kick back, take personal potshots at FReepers without fear of being banned. There are a few of us who provide a never-ending source of amusement for folks who have no life, just by existing.

[RobRoy]

After reading more of Dr Liberties posts, I am quite embarrassed. The more posts I read, the goofier he/she sounded. The emperors clothes one was the final straw. That stuff was just silly.

[aruanan]

Justshe, we're in DIRE need of your banner about disruptors on this thread.

Did Dr.Liberty get banned just in the course of this thread? If not, how can he post when there is a notice on his page that "this account has been banned"?

[Howlin]

He just got the ax within the last few minutes.

Yeah, is there someone posing as you? Neil's not very fond of that behavior. We could get that cleaned up in no time....

[chemainus]

This is an outright lie...anthrax can last for a century

[Darlin']

Hehehe. You mean just because he completely reversed his opinion he isn't wrong ? Even though he hadn't been in the country in years when he had that epiphany ?

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, Laz, I'd be disappointed in you.

You don't have all the facts. FReepmail me if you want 'em.

[TomB]

People should consider it an honor he posts here at all. He's got more on the ball than the two of us combined.

No he doesn't, not even close.

On the thread in question he tried to tell someone that Sadam Hussein wasn't a muslim. I asked him to clarify. Did he mean he wasn't a muslim like Ted Kennedy isn't a Catholic? That is obviously true. But no, pete claimed he was part of a fringe sect, or something to that matter.

After he explained himself, I pointed out that Saddam and the minority Baath party was Sunni muslim, as opposed to the majority of Iraqis who are Shiite muslims. Pete had no idea what I was talking about. Now how on the ball can he be, and since you can't get far into a thread on the midlle east without him spouting his theories, if he doesn't even know the difference between Sunni and Shiite, and the division in Iraq?

That is like someone lecturing on nuclear weapons that doesn't know what an atom is.

He also tried to tell someone that Norman Schwarzkopf said that "we don't need to go to war with Iraq", when he only "urged caution". He also said that the majority of "senior officers in the military" felt the same way.

That kind of stuff is reprehensible.

I'm sorry Laz, but I don't agree with you on this one.

[Lazamataz]

Freepmail comin', bro....

[Roscoe]

Was it Central Scrutinizer again?

[floriduh voter]

John Gibson and David Asman are having a discussion re: Ritter "is he a traitor or is he nuts?" Further, when Ritter gives speeches, he refers to Jane Fonda alot. Turn on Fox right now, whenever now is. Now, they changed subjects.

No anthrax is a bacillus , bacterium, it reproduces ( one way) by spores. The spores last at least a hundred years under dry conditions. The spores then readily germinate ( e.g. in the lungs) and produce bacteria which quickly release three toxin components that kill you by inactivating your cells very "living chemistry" and the toxin kills you even if the bacteria is killed by antibiotics. Short primer here, not intended to be definitive or scholarly.

[TomB]

'Fanatic' is kinda close.

'Buchananite'?

[Lazamataz]

Well, okay. No one is an expert on everything. But sneak is an expert on a lot of stuff.

Still, a man's gotta know his limits....
