Key facts 'omitted by Blix'

LISBON:

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter yesterday accused Hans Blix, the chief of the UN weapons inspection teams in Iraq, of leaving out key facts in his briefing to the UN Security Council in order to bolster the case for a war with Baghdad.

"The report was probably the best favour he could have done to the Bush administration in order to facilitate a military strike against Iraq," he said in an interview with private radio TSF.

In a strongly worded status report submitted to the Security Council on Monday, Blix said his arms experts had found no banned weapons since they began work last November, but he also listed unanswered questions on Iraq's arms programmes from anthrax to VX nerve agents and missiles.

But Ritter said the report was "harsh and misleading" as it did not provide all of the information which Blix had at his disposal regarding these weapons.

"Regarding the anthrax, why didn't he (Blix) explain that it, especially liquid anthrax, becomes useless three years after manufacture? "It is the same with the talk of chemical weapons. Hans Blix should have taken into account that any chemical weapon that was produced between 1993 and 1998 was of such bad quality that today it would not be viable," he added. Ritter resigned in August 1998 after accusing both Washington and the UN of not doing enough to support the weapons inspectors.

You mean Scott "The Perv" Ritter?

Let's see. He took a lot of money from the Iraqi government to make a movie. He has a bit of bad behavior concerning young'ns that could make him vulnerable to blackmail. But that's no reason we can't trust what he says, right?

Any bets on why Ritter changed his tune on Iraq? Could it be that way back when he was with UNSCOM they knew about his penchant for little girls? And they threatend to "expose" him unless he suddenly became a "friend of Saddam"?

Perverts everywhere demand an apology for being compared to Scott Ritter.

Can we please arrest Scott Ritter, try him for treason, execute him, and then move on to the real business of eliminating Saddam Hussein? I'm getting impatient.

QUESTION:You've spoke about having seen the children's prisons in Iraq. Can you describe what you saw there?

SCOTT RITTER:The prison in question is at the General Security Services headquarters, which was inspected by my team in Jan. 1998. It appeared to be a prison for children — toddlers up to pre-adolescents — whose only crime was to be the offspring of those who have spoken out politically against the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a horrific scene. Actually I'm not going to describe what I saw there because what I saw was so horrible that it can be used by those who would want to promote war with Iraq, and right now I'm waging peace.

The marines are always fond of saying that "there are no EX Marines, only FORMER Marines." Every Leatherneck I know says Ritter is an EX Marine.

Ritter gets 4 grand per speech. I believe he was using his attack on Bush's policy on Iraq to appeal to the Liberal college circuit to get speaking engagements.

In other words, yeah they're producing weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, they're not following U. N. treaties they signed. Yeah they're evil. But hey! They SUCK at evil!

They're evil the way a nasty gerbil is evil. They're the kind of evil we have people throw cream pies at at state fairs. They're the sort of evil we give candy to at Halloween.

He must realize that to criticise Blix (of all people) is to put the final nail into his own credibility.

[txradioguy]

Scott Ritter wrote a very compelling article for Playboy back in 1998 (YES I DO READ THE ARTICLES) saying that unless the UNSCOM Inspectors were let back into Iraq and finish their job, we'd be back at war with Saddam within 5 years. His prediction has come true, but he's sure singing a different tune about Iraq these days.

[The Great Satan]

Hmm, sounds suspiciously like Ritter's Iraqi handlers could have introduced Scottie to the delights of child rape at that camp. Scottie's forever in their debt!

Ritter is parroting what the Islamist Press is saying Saddam's Butt-boy strikes again.

[FReethesheeples]

Ritter really has gone off the deep end.

Yes, thats the end on the LEFT.
