The U.S. is engaged in a bloody war in Iraq for the purpose of eliminating the remnants of a terrorist regime, foreign terrorists, and bringing democracy to Iraq and the region. It is a big gamble that has put radical Islam on the defensive around the world. But shocking evidence demonstrates that controversial former U.S. Marine and former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who now writes for the anti-American Arab "news" organization Al Jazeera, was involved in a controversial effort to stop the war by enlisting prominent personalities in a "peace" campaign.
If Ritter had been successful, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein could still be in power threatening his neighbors and the U.S. and rebuilding his capability for producing weapons of mass destruction with money stolen from the corrupt U.N. oil-for-food program.
Ritter's latest "contribution" to the debate over Iraq is an article for the Al Jazeera website warning that "the United States cannot win" in Iraq. Ritter, now identified as "an independent consultant," has a checkered past that includes a second marriage to a young woman from the Republic of Georgia, who had served Ritter as a Russian-supplied "escort" and translator; being caught in an Internet sex sting by law enforcement; and the acceptance of $400,000 from an Iraqi-born American businessman, Shakir Alkafajii, to produce an anti-American film about Iraq. Alkafajii has since been exposed for having taken oil vouchers from Saddam as part of the corrupt U.N.-run oil-for-food program.

Someone should get ritta Ritter.
Ritter had no chance in hell stopping that fast moving train.
This Ritter looks like a scum, just like that Hassoun scum!
TREASON
This scum is not a former Marine. He is an EX-Marine.
I'm still reading the article ... But wasn't Seymour Hersh the jerk that leaked the prison story?
i'm surprised they'd even deal with him, him being a molester of little girls and all, where as the goathumpers are partial to little boys...
I don't particularly trust Ritter ..
But this talk about Carter .. if true is treason
Yes.
I'm still reading. Carter and Saddam huh? Ping
Company just left and I need to really digest this article. Bump for more reading tomorrow.
Blessings to you all.
Whoops. I'm so tired I didn't read your post right and can't digest this article. Carter and Saddam? Big Bump for reading tomorrow.
as muslims say, "to each man his own boy"
"Radical Islam"? Or Islam in general? What's the difference?
Ritter is a known pedophile.
It's amazing that the pigs at Al Jazeera would publish something authored by Ritter.
ouch... LOL
I think it was--plus Hersh really did his best to trash the Swifties.
