Subject: RE: BS: scott ritter speaks
Well, well, well...

Scott is well known to the anti-war movement and, as a former weapons inspector in Iraq, probably has more knowledge about Iraq than all the Woody's in Mudville put together...

Yeah, Scott was one of the sources that Judith Miller of the New York Times black-balled in the mad-dash to war... Then afterwards, the New York Time, just as the Wsahington Post had done, admitted that they hadn't been as dilligent as they could have been in providing more coverage of opionions other that the mad-dasher's...

The Post stated that they had fallin' into a "culture" that prevented them from printing dissenting opinions... I wrote the Post after they had made their confession and asked them what changes were made to correct their "cultural" problem that might agin raise it's ugly head and allow them to just be a propaganda instument of an ideologue... I haven't recieved a response as yet...

But Scott makesa very good point and it's one that I have just alluded to in the last paragraph and that is one on mind-set... He states that the folks who got us in Iraq-mire do not have the proper mindset to figure out how to get us out... Well, that's not word fior word but purdy danged close to what he is saying...

Einstien said that "a problem can not be solved with the same consciousness that created it".... I think that is what Scott is saying here and it's a valid point...

Now, the Woody's of Mudville will try to discredit Scott Ritter because, like I have said mover and over, they feel that if they admit one wrong decisssion by Bush the House of Cards will come crashing down... So they will call him names and make allegations... But that's what the Woody's of Mudvilkle do when they ***know*** they are on the wrong side of a debate... Call names...

Real couagous of them... Hey, Scott Ritter, ain't like some GUEST who can hide in the bushes like the Woody'd in Mudville.... He is a 12 year Marine vet who has seen his share of war... He is a former weapons inspector and he has more balls than all the Woody's in Mudville put together...
