Once again:

Scott Ritter's main complaint is that not enough people are paying attention to Scott Ritter.

[Sparta]

A traitor's noose or a firing squad made up of Marines, the choice is yours Comrade Bin Ritter.

[Saundra Duffy]

Flakes, indeed.

[cake_crumb]

Scott Ritter speaks to all the OTHER flakes in LA. Flakes of a feather...or a whatever.

[spycatcher]

He's also concerned for his friend Saddam

[BushRep]

Generally firing squads are 12 people. There might be too many volunteers.

[Shermy]

But...But...This is what Ritter said after he left his job in 1998:

"...Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. UNSCOM lacks a full declaration from Iraq concerning its prohibited capabilities, making any absolute pronouncement about the extent of Iraq's retained proscribed arsenal inherently tentative. But, based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production.

Meanwhile, Iraq has kept its entire nuclear weapons infrastructure intact through dual-use companies that allow the nuclear-design teams to conduct vital research and practical work on related technologies and materials. Iraq still has components (high explosive lenses, initiators, and neutron generators) for up to four nuclear devices minus the fissile core (highly enriched uranium or plutonium), as well as the means to produce these. Iraq has retained an operational long-range ballistic missile force that includes approximately four mobile launchers and a dozen missiles. And, under the guise of a permitted short-range missile program, Iraq has developed the technology and production means necessary for the rapid reconstitution of long-range ballistic missile production..."

Well we'll have to have a lottery to pick the lucky 12.

"Generally firing squads are 12 people. There might be too many volunteers"

Maybe we could have a raffle.

I thought "they" said Scott Ritter was brain-washed.

[Inkie]

You shouldn't have been surprised at the great reception, especially for the antisemite. CalTech is full of visiting Arab and sympathizer students. Here is one place the INS could get started, IMHO. In 2002, the place was plastered with Gore Lieberman stickers.

[Inkie]

Oops, I meant 2000.

[valkyrieanne]

The term "useful idiot" was invented for this guy.

[winstonchurchill]

This is one of the most entertaining (and erudite) posts I have read in some time. Thanks.

[Moby Grape]

Well, I had hoped this discredited traitor had finally crawled into his hole to hide, but at least he has been reduced to only finding an audience with the most extreme left fringe.

[spycatcher]

Ritter is a curious chameleon. He needs to be watched as carefully as Steven Hatfill

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Why don't he move to iraq!He seems to care more for those"diaperheaded sand crawlers"than his own countrymen.

[spycatcher]

Thanks, I've noticed more freepers are watching weblogs now so we can share gems like this
