Scott Ritter on CBC Newsworld talking about David Kay/WMDs
Edited on Mon Jan-26-04 03:51 PM by Newsjock
Happening now, 3:45pm EST. I'll try to give updates for those without access.

Ritter: "The president has been misrepresenting the facts since Day 1, and I don't expect that the political spin out of Washington or London will change..."

more...

Ritter: "Saddam did exactly what he was told to do (by the U.N.) ... To blame Bill Clinton for George Bush's decision to go to war is absurd."

question: "What's really going on here? More explosions in Baghdad. The war continues."

Ritter: "The harsh reality is that the United States has lost this war."

"... We can't win this war, we won't win this war, but the Bush administration is going to continue to keep troops there because this is part of a larger vision of what they want."

last question: "The search will continue. What do you think (Duelfer) is going to find?"

Ritter: "Duelfer was hand-picked by the Bush administration. ... His job is political spin. ... He's not going to find WMDs, but he's going to spin the inability to find such weapons to the advantage of the Bush administration."

Another devastating interview that will never see the light of day in the USA.

1. Scott Ritter Is A Profile In Courage
You really have to give it to him, he has taken so much for his positions, and now he is being vindicated.

2. watching...
Always great to see him.

When was the last time Ritter was on US television? Has he been totally shut out?

3. That's for the post....I haven't seen or heard Ritter in months
I guess he has been banned from the US "liberal" media.

8. Niether. It's been censored so you have to buy it online
Its not even on Netflix. You'll be shocked to find out that there's nothing controversial in the film...just credible government representatives saying what they know to be true.

5. Scott Ritter endorses Dennis Kucinich
Is it against the rules to say that?

Just FYI...
