Iraq
Confidential: The Untold Story of the Intelligence Conspiracy
to Undermine the UN and Overthrow Saddam Hussein
by
Scott Ritter
BUZZFLASH REVIEWS
Let's
just lay it on the line. When it came to WMDs and Iraq, Scott Ritter
was right and the Busheviks were wrong. But they knew that, and he knew
that. Too bad the American people didn't believe Ritter, because tens
of thousands of Iraqis and Americans wouldn't be wounded and dead now.
As with anyone who violates the Bushevik code of Omerta, Ritter was targeted by Rove and his squad of enforcers. They attempted to discredit Ritter up, back and over.
Unlike members of the Bush administration, Ritter actually had military experience and a history of inspecting for WMDs in Iraq. He was one of the senior UN weapons inspectors in the '90s, was a Marine, and an adviser to General Schwarzkopf in the first Gulf War. Hey, those are some credentials compared to Vietnam evader Bush and 5-time draft deferred Dick Cheney, not to mention draft dodger Karl Rove.
But the more knowledgeable you personally are about something the Bush Administration is creating lies about, the greater the need for Karl Rove to discredit you.
In this book, "Iraq Confidential," it's payback time.
In his Foreword to Ritter's book, Seymour Hersh writes, "Denials will come when this book is published, but I can vouch for Scott's amazing recall and his extensive knowledge of the Iraqi disarmament game. That Scott continues to do what he does says something about his determination, his self-confidence, and his Americanism. He is still gung ho about his country, as a good Marine should be, and he believes that it can be -- must be -- changed for the better. All I can add is hurry up, Scott -- at the time of writing, George Bush has more than thirteen hundred days left in office, and that is a long, long time."
