Time: In 1998, you said Saddam had "not nearly disarmed." Now you say he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Why did you change your mind?
Ritter: I have never given Iraq a clean bill of health! Never! I've said that no one has backed up any allegations that Iraq has reconstituted WMD capability with anything that remotely resembles substantive fact. To say that Saddam's doing it is in total disregard to the fact that if he gets caught he's a dead man and he knows it. Deterrence has been adequate in the absence of inspectors but this is not a situation that can succeed in the long term. In the long term you have to get inspectors back in.
Sound like he was sure to you?.. well, maybe to
you
Scorsese wasn't always a filmmaker either..
12 years as a Marine Corps intelligence officer isn't dedication? He only leaves to head a team who's mission is to rid Iraq of WMD. Definitely no dedication there..
Since when do think Marines are so shallow? That if you dangle some cash in front of them they will commit treason at the first opportunity?
Yeah, why on earth would any institution hire someone to speak about the events that have led to what your leader has called "the greatest challenge in our nation's history".. I'm sure they'd much rather have Coulter.. with all her intelligence experience.
I wonder if having your country bombed to hell and back makes you lose track of stuff... hmmmm.. I wonder. Maybe when your country is bombed to smithereens things actually get, you know, destroyed...
Lost in Albania eh? Wow. How many weapons inspectors did they have in Albania? I bet you a gazillion dollars that there are ZERO WMD unaccounted for in any former communist republics. I'm good for it, really.
If you tell the whole world, "I know EXACTLY where to find HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of '73 911s'" and then you can't find one.. not even sport seats or a tranny? Well, you look pretty damn stupid, and the world tends to think you were lying in the first place.
Keep it coming 'stoner.
