I don't think Ritter is a "dove" per se.

He was a Marine and knows combat. I believe he is the only person in this whole Iraq debate with the experience and first hand knowledge to offer an accurate assessment of Iraq's capabilities.

I, for one, am sick of the smear job he's been getting. Instead of listening to the man, he has been called an outright traitor.

THAT is wrong.

I've listened to him. I still call him an outright traitor.

Hey you're a lone voice as far as that is concerned. And I agree with you! :)

He said one thing in 1998. He's now saying THE EXACT OPPOSITE in 2002.

Somewhere along the line, he's a lying sack of Clinton.

I, for one, am sick of the smear job he's been getting.

There are no victims, only volunteers. And you're sticking up for a liar.

Instead of listening to the man, he has been called an outright traitor.

Let's see...becoming a paid shill for Saddam Hussein is NOT treason in exactly what fashion?

If he is not a traitor why is he hlping the Iraqi's with Anti US propaganda films?

[Blue Screen of Death]

Wow! Just how many bridges do you own?

Scott Ritter is not a traitor, but something is awful fishy about the 180 this guy has had about Iraq. He was trashed by the Clinton Administration and Senator Joe Biden when he believed Saddam had to go........now he is embraced by that same crowd of hand wringers. Let him live with his former enemies, or he could move to Iraq, and fade from relevance.
