SCOTT RITTER ON THE RECORD

[Sparta]

Scott Ritter is On the Record shrilling for the Iraqis. He says that Iraq has cooperated and is helping the inspectors.

[Spunky]

the opertative word is UnBlinking....

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SNORT! SNORT!

[Catspaw]

How on God's green earth does a U.N Weapon's Inspector claim to know what the U.S. Policy towards the middle east is and what is his qualifications or credentials to make such a Statement.

Um, well, if you question Ritter on that, he'll thunder that he was on a tank going into Iraq in 1991 and that he was a Marine for 12 years and don't you dare question his patriotism. Or he'll say he's a firefighter in New York (he's a volunteer), with emphasis on FIREFIGHTER and NEW YORK, as though he was on the 75th floor of the WTC on 9/11--and you better not question his qualifications or credentials. Then he uses his bellicosity, bullying & abusiveness to deflect and dissemble. I saw him on Donahue earlier this week with Richard Butler, his former boss, and at one point, after screaming at Butler about some arcane point, the camera had a shot of him with his angry, vindictive smirk on his face. He could barely contain himself today. Because of the media training he's had, he tries to dominate and talk over people until the host will just let him go--but Greta didn't.

However, Ritter's talking points on the rockets discovered today were almost identical to those used by the Iraqis--down to the word "expired." I'm sure it was a coincidence. < /sarcasm>

Here is an excellent article on Ritter "Shake the Tree"

[Hootch]

Does anyone have a link to Scott Shitter's resignation letter? Oops, I mean Ritter.

[Alissa]

Ritter was obnoxious and belligerent. He made an ass of himself tonight. How about the little wink after each snotty comeback to the General. . .Ritter was disgusting. I don't see how anybody would consider him a 'sane' commentator after his performance tonight.

That's a great list, except you left out Paul Begala. We want him off the tube also. Every night he is on Crossfirehe says something libelous about President Bush. He is a disgusting lowlife and liar.

And I thought Middle Easterners… had an aversion to pork.

[Hootch]

Thanks!! Just kinda makes ya scratch your head doesn't it??

[MJY1288]

Thanks

Something is really wrong re: Ritter.

I just can't put my finger on it.

[MJY1288]

I don't know what to think, I know this though. To go to Iraq and trash this country on Iraqi TV is unexcusable. The guy has either sold out or he is plum crazy

I couldn't agree with you more. I can't believe the lies about President Bush and Republicans Begala spews on Crossfire night after night... and the damn audience applauds everything he says!

[MJY1288]

Something has gone terribly wrong since his resignation from UNSCUM. I want to believe he just can't resist being in the spotlight and being confrontational.

As my cousin said to me....." He needs to stay away from any armed Marines, They will frag him in a New York minute"

[Howlin]

He presents himself as speaking for the Marines now. Your cousin may just be right.

As I said before, I want two things now:

Saddam out
and to know what is going on with Scott Ritter

[MJY1288]

The article "Shake the Tree" linked above is quite good, So is his testimony in 1998 to the Senate (linked above also)

[lizma]

Tell me. What did I miss? My role in life is to protect my kids. Please fill me in.
