Scott Ritter Says U.S. Plans June Attack On Iran
2005-02-21
By Mark Jensen

I'm all for it...
Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered to a packed house in Olympia's Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.

Olympians like to call the Capitol Theater "historic," but it's doubtful whether the eighty-year-old edifice has ever been the scene of more portentous revelations. The principal theme of Scott Ritter's talk was Americans' duty to protect the U.S. Constitution by taking action to bring an end to the illegal war in Iraq. But in passing, the former UNSCOM weapons inspector stunned his listeners with two pronouncements. Ritter said plans for a June attack on Iran have been submitted to President George W. Bush, and that the president has approved them. He also asserted that knowledgeable sources say U.S. officials "cooked" the results of the Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.

#8  I've never seen a picture of Mr Ritter, so why do I get this big image of Michael Moore whenever I hear his name?

#6  It's well known that Americans can't fight in the Brutal Afghan Winter /DEL>Choking Arabian Sandstorm Blazing Iranian Summer.

At least his pro-Saddam propaganda can be explaind by the $450,000 "film" financed by Oil For Food or Iraqi blackmail for his underaged teen tendencies, but what expains his continuing propaganda on Iraq and now Iran? I really wonder if Ritter has gone muslim.

Nice of him to take time off from diddling to bring us this welcome news.

Think maybe we could convince him to go over there as a "human" shield?

Nah, me neither.
