Didn't Weasly Little David Kay Jump on Scott Ritter's Claims ?
that there were no WMDs in Iraq. It seems I recall that he was almost confrontational in his belief that Saddam had all those secret weapons. Now he comes slinking back into Washington to report that he found nothing in Iraq....but if they give him $600 million more, he might be able to find them in 6 more months? He gives some ambiguous reports of "evidence" of "intent", but really brings nothing back to put on the table.

Does anyone else remember his attitude toward Scott Ritter before he was chosen to go to Iraq? Now he comes back and George W Bush is more and more looking like a leader that took us to war on false premises. He lied and people died.

1. Ritter has done an interview with BBC's 'HardTalk'...
which is going to air on Monday. In a clip from it, he goes after David Kay 'big time', and points out that his WMD team was more effective on a budget of $30 million.

Ritter also raised a much-forgotten point in all of this: who mandated this "survey group"?? The UN? Nato? Nah - they're just a propaganda support team.

3. Yeah, I remember. He's a little weasal.
And now he wants what $600 million more and it will take 6-9 months? Gee, the timeframe sound VERY suspicious. 9 months, enough time to try to stall before the next election. Ain't gonna work Dr. Quack because are now showing that most people are questioning the fake war.

Also, if its going to take 600Mil and 6-9 months, could we have paid the other inspectors and given them the same amount of time? Oh, now I remember the BIG lie, SH is a grave threat; we must act now.

This entire debacle is the worst thing I have seen since Vietnam. Troops are dying daily, for what? For what?

6. Take the $600 million out of RNC funds
At this point, only they stand to benefit from finding WMDs.

7. The $600 million will soon be RNC funds...
That is the point of every appropriation for Iraq.

8. WT2 - am so jealous. I really like Scott Ritter and have emailed
him a couple of times. You are so lucky. Do tell all afterwards.

I remember one of the last times I saw him speak, this was right before the "war" and he said that what the thugs would do was find some "omnious" parts and try to say they are the remains of the weapons (or something similar to that).

9. They can't even find TRACES of the stuff!!!
Don't people get it? If you have produced 500 tons of sarin and VX gas, youo have TRACES of the shit laying about!
If you have 38 thousand litres of biological weaponry OR as Bush claimed, chemical weapons in war heads and issued to field commanders...There would be trace evidence.

Bush lied and hundreds of soldiers are dead who whoul be alive today.
thousands of soldiers are wounded who would not be so today.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis were murdered for a LIE.

When is the impeachment?

10. Oh, I do remember how this little bastard
was put on these shows to spit all over Scott but Scott would hit the slime right back in the face. I was just thinking the other day why these networks have never put Scott back on. HE WAS RIGHT---isn't it odd that they want to pretend that he doesn't exist?? I would love to see someone re-contact him. This Kay was a dishonorable slime who was dismissed before; now he's a "Team Bush" player. What garbage.
