"Before sounding off, I’d always ring former Marine and weapons inspector Scott Ritter and bounce the hot skinny off him. And this brave and so far most prescient analyst..."

Birds of a feather....

What they do in the bedroom should be kept private.

That says it all, in a nutshell.

Hackworth who?

It's time for Sean Hannity to dump this guy from his lineup of guests.

Well, the Supreme Court says there’s no law against it Hack, as long as Ritter’s willing.

Does he make you dress up in a Burger King uniform?

Feel free to read into that what you want.

This man may have been a solid soldier, but I would not go to him for advice on strategy, geopolitics, or the Middle East. A success in Iraq, which would offer some form of democracy, could remake the whole Muslim World. Baghdad would serve as a counterpoise to an increasingly unstable Cairo: It would have a major impact on neighboring Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran. Nothing that has occurred since the end of the Yom Kippur War offers a future so pregnant with possibility. Unfortunately, Hackworth can't see it.

"Still, throughout Bush's almost two-year rush to use the military solution against Iraq..."

I'm still trying to figure out if this is sarcasm.

We might as well face the fact that our side was infiltrated years ago with Fifth Columnists. David Brock, Hackworth, Arianna Huffington, Larry Klayman, etc. etc.

Just because they were saying what we wanted to hear, doesn't necessarily mean they were on our side.

"I just do not understand what went wrong with this guy." As the saying goes, "Follow the money!"
He can't be too smart.....throwing in that line about
"...checking with Ritter". He must be checking also with his old friend and dictator, Saddam. Why else would he be lining up with the Bush haters? Maybe the Demos offered him a place on the next ticket?
