I guess the latest Iraqi check will clear now.

This new Bush doctrine of American unilateralism reeks of imperial power, the very power against which Ameri cans fought a revolution more than 200 years ago.

Ritter has become impressed with sound of his own voice and addicted to the applause of leftists.

[BlackElk]

Has he earned his four hundred thousand pieces of silver yet or do we still have to listen to him some more?

[dighton]

The outpouring of democratic will that occurred on that day came not only from the left, but from across the breadth of mainstream British society. It sent a message to a Blair government that had grown increasingly isolated from public opinion: UK support for an American unilateral war on Iraq would not be tolerated.

Now Ritter's an expert on British public opinion and politics.

The man has gone nuts.

[Pokey78]

Ritter's an expert on everything. Just ask him.

I have to admit to a certain trepidation and uncertainty when I was asked by Labour MPs to participate in the massive anti-war rally in London on September 28.

Yep, I bet ol' Scottie was really feeling some uncertainty and trepidation..... mostly wondering if the next check was in the mail.

[piasa]

Will the streets of London be filled again with protesters against this assault on the rule of international law?

If it's an international law on fox hunting... maybe.

More likely, the streets of London will be full of terrorist sympathizers and agents of Saddam Hussein.

[Howlin]

As somebody much wiser than I said on this forum yesterday, his 30 pieces of silver.

"Ritter has become impressed with sound of his own voice and addicted to the applause of leftists."

I think that's it exactly. It must be an incredible rush to be ferried around the world like this, and admired by fashionable people.

[dighton]

Thanks, you EXACTLY got my point.

[Howlin]

LOL!

[boomop1]

He voted for Bush is a republican and what else needs to quality his objections?

[Howlin]

when I was asked by Labour MPs to participate in the massive anti-war rally in London on September 28.

I expect he'll be running for president soon.

[Howlin]

They sent a message, right? And Blair changed Britain's position, right? Right?

[Mr. Mojo]

Ritter has become impressed with sound of his own voice and addicted to the applause of leftists.

Kind of like John McCain during the 2000 campaign.

[Numbers Guy]

But now Iraq has agreed to allow the inspectors to return, unconditionally

The mystery is whether a) Scott Ritter is a friggin' liar and isn't embarrassed to make such a bold-faced false claim or b) Scott Ritter is insane and actually believes the Iraqis.

[glock rocks]

semper fi ?
