Ex-weapons inspector warns against Iraq war

Leo Fransella Special to The Daily Yomiuri

As U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell prepared to present evidence to the U.N. Security Council on allegations Iraq has weapons of mass destruction Wednesday, a former chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq slammed U.S. moves to attack Iraq and warned of serious repercussions for Japan if an attack goes ahead.

Scott Ritter, 42, speaking at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo, said that there was no evidence that Iraq had acquired weapons of mass destruction since 1998, when the earlier team of U.N. inspectors he led left Iraq, and that the best way to guarantee that Iraq disarms is to give the latest team of inspectors time to do their work.

Ritter, a former U.S. marine who took part in 52 weapons inspections in Iraq between 1991 and 1998--leading 14 of them--accused the United States of breaking international law by seeking a regime change in Iraq.

"I didn't take an oath to obey the (U.S.) president blindly. That's what a good German did in the 1940s," he said, denying that his campaign to "wage peace" is unpatriotic.

Ritter also argued that North Korea will not sit back while the United States removes Saddam Hussein's regime and then turns its attention to North Korea, which along with Iran, makes up U.S. President George W. Bush's "axis of evil."

The ramification of U.S. policy toward Iraq is that North Korea may launch preemptive strikes on Japan, he added.

Ritter called on Japanese to "get engaged. What's happening in the Middle East does have an impact on Japan.

"The Japanese should never underestimate the impact they can have on the United States, by standing up and saying no. The American public will pay heed to that, and the one way to stop this war is for Bush to wake up one morning and find that by going to war he's a one-term president."

why would they ever listen to this hasbeen or neverwas?

The fact that he opposes the Bush Administration seems to be reason enough for those that grant him a platform.

[geedee]

In another time, he'd be shot on the White House lawn...

People like Ritter and Mandela had best watch their fiery words. A fellow Texan's daughter died 9-11 -- his eldest child and only daughter, named after his mother. Her death is still ripping him apart inside. It's rather scary to be around him when the pervert Ritter's on the news. He never says anything, but his jaws lock down and his eyes squint to BB-sized pinholes. Ritter wouldn't last a minute if the two of them were ever in the same locale.

Some don't equate Iraq to 9-11. A bunch of Americans do. A whole bunch.

"Scott Ritter, 42, speaking at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo, said that there was no evidence that Iraq had acquired weapons of mass destruction since 1998,....."

Yeah right.
Like I'm gonna believe anything that this idiot has to say.

[Marysecretary]

Start praying, folks. If this is true, we need God's protection more than ever.

[Defiant]

It's a hoax, Mary. But we still need prayer for what is to come. There will undoubtedly be setbacks along the way, but Bush is right to confront this evil now not later.

[Fred Mertz]

I suppose what I was trying to say in my meandering #39 reply was that I don't get the Japan connection?

[apillar]

IT CAN"T BE A SCOTT RITTER THREAD WITHOUT.........

***BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND***

Baby Got Back
with apologies to Sir Mix-A-Lot

Oh my god, Becky, look at her
She's Soooo Young....
She looks like one of Scott Ritter's girlfriends
Who understands those weapons inspectors anyway...
He only talks to her because she looks like a total pre-teen, ok?
I mean her chest, it's just so flat
I can't believe it's soooo flat
It's just, like, non-existent
I mean, her and Scott..It's gross!

I like young girls and I can not lie
Even the undercover cops can't deny
That when a teen girl walks in
with an itty bitty chest
And some peachfuzz in my face

Wanna pull up front
Cuz I notice that bra was stuffed
Deep in the training bra she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
The Police tried to warn me
But with that young butt you got
Me so horny!

Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz
Well use me, use me, cuz you
just barely reached puberty.

I've seen them at school dancin'
The hell with romancin!
She sweat, wet, member of 8th grade set.

I'm tired of magazines
sayin a man with a teen is a bad, bad, thing
Take the average pedophile and ask him that
He'll say she's gotta be flat, so

Fellas (yeah), fellas (yeah)
Has she got a jail-bait butt? (hell yeah)
Well tell her to shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it,
shake that jail-bait butt.

Well that ain't the song I sung
Cuz your waist is small and

And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the twenty-something dames in the magazines
You ain't it Miss Thang
Give me your little sister I can't resist her
can't keep her out too late or momma might miss her
Some prosecuting attorney tried to dis
Cuz young girls were on my AOL chat list
He had game but he chose to forget em
So I'll keep pulling up quick to get with 'em
So ladies if your Mom and Dad just left town
And you wanna triple X throw down
Dial 1-900-Scudalot and kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back

"Ritter called on Japanese to "get engaged. What's happening in the Middle East does have an impact on Japan."

This could actually help -- could shame the Japanese some and get them more engaged with the real USA, not kooks.

[Cachelot]

Note that there is no mention of his prediliction for little girls.

Of course not. Japan is the pedophile's Mecca - they only stopped distributing child porn pretty recently, after much pressure, and probably half-heartedly.

[Cachelot]

Hey Omar, weren't you just posting this old hoax as an article? On a spam run, is it?

[Space Wrangler]

Well, I know when I am forming an opinion on world events or political topics, my first thought often turns to the Japanese, and what they think. It's always very important for us to consider WWJD (What would Japan do?)!!! LOL!!

Can some PLEASE, for the love of pete, get some details on Ritter's proclivities. Has the smokinggun.com out with any mug shots, or arrest reports of Ritter? Someone please, PLEASE shut this idiot up!

[Carolinamom]

Ritter's riding the money train as long as he can. Derailment up ahead, I hope.

[FourPeas]

a life-saving mission...his own

My thoughts, too. It does make me wonder, though, what type of man the Marines train. I'd always thought the Marines to be tough, uncompromising, fighting men worthy of honor and respect. Ritter certainly tarnishes that concept. I'm amazed some of his fellow jarheads haven't helped to set him straight.

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? Why can't we revoke his passport ...??

[MoGalahad]

This guy Ritter is a traitor and should not be allowed back in the country. Thankfully, I doubt that the Japanese will be dumb enough to listen to his ranting and raving.

[HeadOn]

Will somebody please cold-cock this guy? I can't reach him from here.

[Defiant]

You know, we do need more judicial determination on the issue of treason in light of modern conditions. The Constitution calls it "giving aid and comfort to the enemy." In our current situation, I believe that when the Congress passes a resolution authorizing the use of military force, and at the point when the President uses that force, the nation against which the force is used becomes an "enemy". Giving that enemy aid and comfort, by, for example, denouncing our country's policies abroad and supporting the government of the enemy, is treason, and I wish more cases on that subject were brought by Mr. Ashcroft.

Ben Affleck, Sean Penn and Scott Ritter should be taught that in time of war, things are different. You can be against it before it starts, but once begun, the nation has decided on a course of action, and to hinder that course of action is treason, which we ought to start punishing.

So the Ritters of the world better cease and desist once the bombs start falling. Bet they won't.

[finnman69]

Here ya go Scott...

[Eric in the Ozarks]

You might be on to something. The Red Chinese could be using NK as a proxie to test W's resolve in regard to other plans they have. If things get too hot, they can phone Kim and he will heel to his Chinese paymasters.
I seriously look at Bush doing a "twofer,' or something very close to it.
