It's "a"

[Pokey78]

As an Indy: McCain/Ritter in 2004?

[gusopol3]

heard Blitzer say today that Ritter claimed UN inspectors worked together with CIA to try to recruit upper level Iraqi officials, and found this appalling. Meanwhile, as you note, he was being recruited himself by Iraqi money via that Michigan realestate magnate. Makes you wonder about Bonoir with his Michigan connection.

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

I need a hint to decipher that.

[clintonh8r]

Ritter is a disgrace to the Marine Corps.

[Howlin]

[Fred Mertz]

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

I can't argue against this statement.

[Kevin Curry]

I can't argue against this statement.

I believe you.

Scott Ritter: Help us to stop the war

Excerpt:

This new Bush doctrine of American unilateralism reeks of imperial power, the very power against which Americans fought a revolution more than 200 years ago. The streets of Washington DC are empty of demonstrators protesting at this frontal assault on American democracy. Will the streets of London be filled again with protesters against this assault on the rule of international law? I certainly hope so, because the people of Britain could lead by example, sending a clear signal to fellow practitioners of democracy in America that when it comes to determining what actions a government takes in the name of the people, the will of the people cannot, and will not, be ignored.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

[Howlin]

They've both got the qualifications for a Dem ticket as far as I can see.

[Howlin]

I don't believe Tony Blair "got" the message they sent because he didn't waiver one iota.

[Howlin]

imperial

Uh oh.....he got the DNC flash fax.....that's this week's buzzword.

[elfman2]

"I can't argue against this statement."

Really? Please explain how you think our campaign to destroy international terrorism is similar to Britain's imperialism of The States.

[clintonh8r]

good one!

Since Scotty is so enamored with his Iraqi friends, he should take his ass back over there and volunteer as a human shield at some strategic location - like one of Saddam's palaces.

[Kevin Curry]

It must be an incredible rush to be ferried around the world like this, and admired by fashionable people.

It isn't easy for a conservative to get invited to the very best parties where the really fashionable people hang out. The only fool-proof way is to betray your principles and condemn your President.

Babs Streisand is sure to invite Scottie to her next soiree.

[MJY1288]

Somehow I knew you would.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This reminds me of the time that Klaymer and Fitton ran to the UK press, to claim to be conservatives in opposition to Bush.

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

As a US Republican, I reject George Bush's illegal and unconstitutional plan to attack Iraq

So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.

Article. II.

Section. 2. The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

Either Scott Ritter has gone psychopathic, or he fears for his life and that of his family. He got into something WAY above his head whatever it is.

OR,.. he is just plainly and simply a "TRAITOR".
