Probably the people in Iraqi intelligence that succeeded in blackmailing Ritter have not dared tell Saddam how Ritter has been discredited.

Bill Press on MSNBC just said democrat senators are folding...Joe Biden, Diane Feinstein. "We're going to war", he said.

From the little TV blurb that I saw while clicking through the channels, both Bill Press and Pat Buchanan looked pretty sad at the prospect of war. Buchanan (who never misses a chance to spout total isolationism and anti-Israeli rhetoric) made some statement about Powell not proving that Saddamn was a real threat to the US as is N. Korea. First things first, Patty-boy. I guess Pat and Bill still don't believe that Saddamn would be willing to supply terrorists with even more dangerous goodies than the N. Koreans--who we already know have sold missles to Iraq and other enemies.

That was a good phone call! Man--- it sounds just like the Holocaust. Those poor oppressed people. What cold hearted creatures can sit here and resist such cries of distress from a fellow human being?

Or Saddam doesn't regard it as much of a vice and can't understand people who do.

Yes, the US and British should stop flying in the no-fly-zone when u2's are flying. Not! So he can place some anti Aircraft batteries in place.

What a joke!

Shep Smith, in reference to something which I don't remember, possibly at the time of the snipers in DC, accidentally said "blow job" instead of something innocuous on the air. He stumbled all over his red faced apology. It was pretty funny.

Yep... he said that U.S. made up this "iraq concealing weapons" fiction and that Scott Ritter knows this, just ask Scott Ritter, he is still happily around...

nauseating

A regime that would rely on Scott Ritter for its international credibility is too stupid to remain in power.

Ah, they know that Ritter will back them up---they have made sure of it.

(I suspect)

twyh1, I think it is VERY interesting that DU and the Iraqis are using the word "cartoons." That is not normally a word that would be used by the Iraqis. The coincidence is too remarkable to ignore.

Perhaps some who monitor DU would be kind enough to note any similar phrases and bring them to our attention, without, of course, using direct quotes or links.

I think there are Iraqis and Iraqi sympathizers in that group, as well as a lot of the anti-war groups that have suddenly popped up.
