I have been as critical of Ritter as anyone, but this speech seems to me not to be treasonous. He may have been bought, but it's not clear he's stayed bought: he says the evidence doesn't justify an attack - I think he's wrong, but it's not an insane view. He says Iraq should let the UN inspectors back in unconditionally and that that would be the only way to avoid war -- that's surely true, if the inspectors came back with truly free run, we'd give them some time. Ritter also says even though he disagrees with the policy he'd be the first to enlist in a war against Iraq, saying he loved America "more than I love Iraq". -- OK, what's wrong with that statement? He thinks the US government is wrong, but he'd fight for the US. What's the treason there? I think the jury's still out on this bird.

"What's the treason there? I think the jury's still out on this bird."

Yup. Something smells. That sounds like something Colin Powell would say if he were there, huh?

Excuse me. How many years has Iraq been given the opportunity to open up their country to the UN inspections they MUST abide to?

Giving them a few more years only gives that maniac more time to stall while they build more WMD weapons AND finance terrorism around the world.

He fooled 'em. They thought he was there to kiss their butts and sh** on us and that is why they let him speak.

What, no applause.

Hey Saddam, Ritter's a "little guy" and he fooled you, you stupid, arrogant bast***.

You could be right. I guess we'll have to see what happens with Mr. Ritter. It almost seems like he's playing an elaborate game of some sort. Maybe he got in up to his head. I did notice what he said about fighting with the US. But, we'll just have to see!

Words are cheap. I don't give a d@mn what Ritter says. The fact that he is doing a photoOp in the capital of a country that we are about to invade belies his loyalty for hire words. Ritter is no different than a Jane Fonda or Jesse Jackson putting their political agendas ahead of the interests of the American people.

As soon as this twerp, Ritter lands on American soil again, he should be FReeped everywhere he dares appear in public.
