The former chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq and an outspoken critic of the Bush administration told 800 Central New York high school students Friday the United States abandoned the principles of the United Nations to launch an illegal war on Iraq. Scott Ritter predicted a bad ending of the current effort for the United States, Iraq and the world. "The U.S. will not prevail in Iraq," he said. "The U.S. will lose this war." Ritter was the keynote speaker at the 21st annual Central New York Model United Nations Conference continuing through today at Syracuse University. Thirty-eight high schools sent delegations who will play the role of international diplomats representing foreign countries in a variety of simulated U.N. activities. Ritter urged them to play by the rules of the United Nations during the conference and insisted that their elected representatives do the same when the students are eligible to vote.

#2 Why, of course the US ignored the UN in regard to Iraq. Our country does not require permission to defend itself! If we had played by Kofi's rules, there would be several more smoking holes and thousands more dead and injured in New York and DC!

#3 Someone REALLY should point out to the officials of that high school that Ritter and teenage girls are a bad mix.

#4 >> ""The U.S. will not prevail in Iraq," he said. "The U.S. will lose this war." <<

That had to go over well. ::rolls eyes:: I wonder if any of the poor kids in the audience had relatives on the ground in Iraq.

Ritter is a tool. He probably wants in on some of the Michael Moore action. Or maybe he's just that dumb. Because that's worse than predicting the Arizona Cardinals will win the SuperBowl next year.

What in heaven's name is this suspected pedo doing around high school kids?

#7 Scott,

Saddam's gone. You can lay off the Shtick. Or, are Saddam's henchmen holding your 9 year old "bride" hostage.
