You could probably do it by hand in the sink.

Now, now, no Clinton jokes please.

"What's your explanation for his contradictory statements between what he said 4 years ago and what he's saying now? How do you account for his 180?"

Ok lets see, its either:

A: Ritter is an uncontrollable liar, flake, fake, prima donna.

b: Ritter is psychotic and unstable, not to mention paranoid.

C: Ritter is a traitor and either has accepted a payoff in return for betraying his country, or ideologically is a leftist, believes in the UN agenda, etc.

or D: Ritter, initially concluded that Saddam was sabotaging the efforts of the team, not allowing them to destroy everything. He later found out that is was Butler and indeed the purpose of the Inspection to NOT SUCCEED and also engaged in spying to try to topple Saddam and therefore finding Saddam at fault and justifying further invasion, etc.

What can't be disputed is that Ritter is outspoken and put himself in jeopardy the first time in saying that the inspections were being thwarted. He risked his position by coming out front with it. He seemed to be telling the truth at the time and seemed honestly upset.

So maybe he found out what was going on? Isn't that a possibility.

HE WAS THERE. HOW MANY OF YOU WERE?

"Psssst: You forgot the Bilderbergers...."

WHAT'S YOUR POINT? DID YOU FORGET TO MENTION BLACK HELICOPTERS OR TINFOIL?

Delude yourself all you want with your infantile humor.

I read. You should try it. And not comic books.

We don't have to have been there. WE ALL HEARD HIS WORDS THEN, AND WE'VE HEARD HIS WORDS NOW. Night and day.

Do you have the b@lls to put down in English what, pray tell, that was?

HE WAS THERE

He was there when he said Saddam was cheating. No one has seen anything but Potemkin villages since he left. Except possibly through satellite imaging. I'm sure Ritter has beenin the loop on that.

I think they've got something on him....he's just too irrational

I too read that his wife is Russian--there's something fishy going on with him definitely. He's either being blackmailed, or his wife is being threatened, or perhaps someone in her family is. Or he was bought off, as it's been posted elsewhere that he took $400K from somebody for work on a documentary, I think re: Iraq.

Honestly, have you EVER seen anything like it?

I'm stuck at work. Do they normally replay these? Y'all are making me jealous...

Also, I'm not surprsied he got turned down by CIA and FBI.

They don't like straight-shooters either. He's definitely not a team player, the way they like them in the headquarters.

God forbid, a guy like Ritter might actually try to stop 9/11. Then what would George Bush x41 and x43 say?

I guess this guy is next in line for the Ritter treatment by you solid patriots:

From Judicial Watch, 9/11/02

Agents Lied To Federal Court for Wiretap Authority and Compromised Criminal Investigations of Terrorists

FBI Headquarters’ International Terrorism Unit Acted as a “Spectator” While Americans Died at the Hands of Terrorists

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, represents “whistleblowing” FBI Special Agent (SA) Robert G. Wright, Jr., of the bureau’s Chicago Division, who said today that the FBI continues to dodge accountability and cover-up its negligence and dereliction of duty in pursuing terrorists who pose a direct threat to the United States. SA Wright is the only FBI agent to seize terrorist funds (over $1.4 million) from U.S.-based Middle Eastern terrorists using federal civil forfeiture statutes, prior to the September 11th attacks. The original source of the funds was Yassin Kadi, a Saudi businessman, who is reportedly a financier of Osama bin Laden.

SA Wright points to recent misconduct and falsifications of wiretap warrant applications by FBI agents (signed-off by the former FBI Director, Louis Freeh) to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court. Prior to September 11th, SA Wright alleged FBI intelligence agents lied and hid vital records from criminal agents for the purpose of obstructing his criminal investigation of the terrorists in order to protect their “subjects,” and prolong their intelligence operations. SA Wright was stunned to learn recently that some of the FBI intelligence agents that had stalled and obstructed his criminal investigations of terrorists in Chicago had also lied to the judges of the FISA Court in Washington, DC.

SA Wright says that, in his opinion, prior to September 11th, the ITU’s incompetence and repeated failures to support criminal investigations contributed directly to the deaths of five Americans. The ITU’s absolute failure to detect and identify the September 11th terrorist plot, and the radical Islamists that carried it out, is further evidence of the ITU’s negligence, and places the deaths of thousands of Americans at their door.

Over the last year, SA Wright has repeatedly tried to lawfully expose the FBI’s incompetence and dereliction: 1) through FBI and Justice Department channels, 2) through individual Congressmen and Senators, 3) to the Joint Congressional Intelligence Committee and, 4) at a press conference held by his legal counsel, Larry Klayman, the Chairman of Judicial Watch, Inc., and co-counsel, David Schippers, Esq., of Schippers and Bailey of Chicago, IL.

I agree... and why would Iraqi TV refuse to put his address to the Iraqi Congress on TV if this was legit?

What's your explanation for his contradictory statements between what he said 4 years ago and what he's saying now? How do you account for his 180?

I don't think Scott is going to answer your questions.

Thanks for the support Fred.

I don't know everything. I can't say I do. But at least I know THAT. And that's where it all begins.

254 posted on 09/12/2002 1:30:23 PM PDT by DrLiberty

Okay, let's say the answer is D... Ritter himself said in the interview today that he hasn't talked to any one in any intelligence agency (domestic or foreign) for the last four years.

He told Asman that if Iraq was doing something it would have shown up in intelligence because it couldn't be hid.

Asman asked if intelligence had come up with something.

Ritter said that he couldn't possibly know the answer to that question because he hadn't talked to anyone in intelligence since 1998.

Then he called for the President to make his case.

I think the onus is one Mr. Ritter to make his case. If he has reason to change his mind, then what is it. If it is something he can't tell (intelligence) then why not say, "I can't say." He is saying he doesn't know. He hasn't a clue. All he knows is Iraq is a toothless tiger.

So for me to take Mr. Ritter seriously, I'm going to have to know why he has changed his mind.

So I say, "Make your case, Mr. Ritter."

Asman on Fox asked that question and Scott answered at that time, that there was no contradiction (or 180). I don't think Dr.Liberty likes that question since his only answer is verifiably false.

That guy got some national recognition today, huh? I thought it was just me. I was like, WOW, you GO dude. He gave Ritter (a tough interview) a run for his money.

Then to see all the freepers feel the same way just validated it. He'll be going places.
