Former U.N. Pervert Rips Bush, Blix in New Book
|
Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter released a new book, accusing President Bush of illegally attacking Iraq and calling for "regime change" in the United States at the next election.
You knew he had to have a book deal, didnât you?
Ritter criticized key figures caught up in the U.S.-led war at Mondayâs U.N. news conference. He said Bush lied to the American people and Congress about Iraqâs weapons of mass destruction; U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan lacked courage; former chief weapons inspector Hans Blix was "a moral and intellectual coward."
Two out of three ainât bad.
Ritter, a former U.S. Marine, was a weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998. He has been a vocal critical of the Bush administrationâs policy on Iraq.
He keeps going, and going, and going.......
Ritter said he wrote "Frontier Justice, Weapons of Mass Destruction and the Bushwacking of America" to educate people. The 209-page paperback, published by Context Books, has on its cover a picture of Bush in jeans and a cowboy hat, behind the wheel of a truck. In the book, Ritter notes that the Bush administrationâs stated reason for launching the war was to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. The book argues that there is no evidence that Iraq possesses, produces or concealed nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Therefore, Ritter argues that "the United States carried out an illegal war of aggression." Bush, responding Monday to similar charges about the lack of evidence of illegal Iraqi weapons, insisted: "When itâs all said and done, the people of the United States and the world will realize that Saddam Hussein had a weapons program." Ritter said Bushâs real goal was to get rid of Saddam Husseinâs regime.
| Which seems like a good idea in itself... |
"What is needed in America is regime change," Ritter writes. "Anything but Bush and (Vice President Dick) Cheney." At the news conference, Ritter accused France and Germany of failing to get a Security Council or General Assembly resolution calling the war illegal and demanding a U.S. withdrawal.
Heâs pretty much down on everybody.
Ritter had kind words for Mohamed ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. He said ElBaradei was "much more honest" than Blix about appraising Iraqâs nuclear weapons and the threat they posed.
"Plus, he introduced me to the cutest little gi..., oops!"
