Ritter: McCain knew Iraq WMD was a lie

[stan2118]

Too bad that "expert" Ray McGovern had forgotten about the USS Stark attack by Iraq 20 years after the Liberty incident (May 1987). But of course that doesn't matter since it can't be pinned on the Jews. The IDF was of course trying to sink the Liberty since the ship blundered into a war zone and available evidence showed it to be an enemy craft. Ray McGovern is a liar or fool. Definitely a Jew hater.

Barack Obama is NOT a U.S. Citizen. PART 1:

By gregtl1967

Berg vs. Obama Lawsuit.

Philip J. Berg, an attorney and self-professed Hillary Clinton supporter who has filed a lawsuit against Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee, and several other parties. Berg contends that Sen. Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen and, therefore, is not constitutionally eligible to run for the office of president.

[lightleague]

Listen VERY closely to Scott Ritter, he's a real patriot and he DOESN'T fear the lying wolves.

[Romerox7]

The U.S worst nightmare gonna happen as soon as the leave, the Shiites and Iran gonna take

over..its just a matther of time..The U.S is

stucked there and they will be for years and

decades to come, and this senceless war is

costing BILLIONS of Dollars a year , not to

mention human lives..The U.S needed Saddam

more than Saddam needed The U.S.....And

Afghanistan is not over by a looong shot !!!

[MrRightAllTime]

war war send all the retards to war already

[nuttierthanthou]

seems like real news is slanted in favor of the democrats

[mrgrieves9876]

the dems are a pro war party also

[nuttierthanthou]

yep... Grand fraud. We don't really have a choice

[BadBoy47]

now what u said is definitely a lie.

[AcePilot101]

Saddam Hussein DID have weapons of mass destruction. Members of his own cabinet have told the press about shipping WMDs to Syria.

Marxist theory has become the dogma of liberals and college students. Liberals are "useful idiots" (Lenin, USSR) and are doing their damnest to destroy democratic capitalism - the only source of wealth and jobs in this world. Governor Sarah Palin is awesome and she beats Obama hands-down!!

Obama = Jimmy Carter (sanctimonious scumbag).

[Real9erfan]

Ultra Conservatives never fail to demonstrate their utter ignorance and stupidity. Please tell us which members of Saddam's "cabinets" said that the WMD's were shipped to Syria. You can't, because what you stated is a lie and a fabrication, just like the usual things Republicans spew today. And what does Marxist theory have to do with Scott Ritter and Ray McGovern. Please try to use a little common sense before spilling your mindless nonsense next time.

[chewbaca1989]

USS Liberty! Israel we remember.

[moreaudan]

I thought he was related to Cheney.

What does that make Dick?

Are the Bushes and Obama going to kick back at

the Cheney residence in Dubai?

[FrankCastlez]

That scumbag Obama is telling people what to do in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet the cities of Chicago where Obama did all of his successful "community organizing" are afire with crime, drugs, and a decaying shell of a city. Way to go, Obama! You suck!

[FrankCastlez]

It's good to know that in the middle of a crisis, the Democrats are still liars. As long as we're fantasizing about "alternative" energy sources, what we really need is a car that runs on Democrats' lies.

[ytMarkcg]

Increase your audio recording levels. The sound is too low.

being Mayor of a small town in middle of no where is not a serious qualification for VP, Palin is Harriet Meyers of 2008.

[jefeisdguard]

Of the 4 candidates left, Obama is the STILL the least experienced. Obama was never a council member. Obama was never a Mayor. Obama was never a Governor. Another words Obama was never a CEO of a state! Sarah Palin DID MORE WORK IN 1 MONTH, AS GOVERNOR, THAN OBAMA DID IN 143 DAYS OF CONGRESSIONAL WORK! Obama has socialist background. Endorsed by communists & Hamas Obama supports abortion Palin shows she is pro-family & pro-life Obama/Biden have ZERO Military experience McCain/Palin 08

[BadBoy47]

1. Joe Biden is in the forefront of the Foreign Policy Committee in the Senate.

2. Being a POW does not make u have military experience and knowledge it makes u a victim.

3. Obama has no socialist background, all republicans do is try to smear their opponents and this i just another smear.

4. Being governer of a state or CEO of a state does not mean anything. 1.5 months as governer of a state of 600,000 people does not make you qualified to be a VP candidate.

[photofu]

great insights, thanks for real news.

[y2raza]

can any one remember the last time Ritter was on CNN,MSNBC,FAUX???

[HugeJohn51]

Did anyone notice the fact that Ritter was on AP on the same day as Colin Powel's UN Security Council presentation, and told the world that Iraq very likely didn't have WMD's? The mass media and the White House supressed all evidence contrary to their position on WMD. That means Bush lied- McCain supported that and they are responsible for the MURDER of over 4000 American troops. This is the most important fact in this discussion- the US needs to go after bush for murder and lock him up.

mccain says he knows how to win wars..I have news for you wars are not won today....wars take forever...a smart bomb is not the same today as it was yesterday...a smart bomb is not technological...it is a walking talking human....be idiots and chose a warmonger who will take america downward...do you people even understand that al qaeda is not even an entity but an ideology fueled by the US Foreign policy subscribed to by mccain/bush...elect mccain...i hope america does...let the games begin

[jefeisdguard]

Democrats started WWl, WWll, Iraq/Afghanistan WAR, Bosnian War. Bush simply finished what was started during the Clinton Administration.

Congress passed the Gore/Clinton bill they sent in 1998. Passed in 2002.

Warmonger? Better NOT be another Democrat, could be WWlll!

Obama is a muslim, commie liar idiot in christian clothing. PERIOD!

[BadBoy47]

you are dumb. Bill Clinton started no wars. what he did do is fix the economy after bush sr. destroyed it, and left a surplus of over 120 billion dollars which bush jr has turned to a trillion dollar deficit. obama is more of a christian then john mccain will ever be. when mccain says he will follow osama to the gates of hell no christian would utter those words. time and gain obama has proven that he's christian but u want to deny that. are u against obama because of his policies or skin color

[jefeisdguard]

BadBoy47 said,"Bill Clinton started no wars"

Bosnia war he did.

During Clnton Admin Al Qaeda attackd 1993, 1995, 1996, 1998, 2000 & 2 embassies in Africa.

Saddam kckd out U.N. weapns inspctrs, violatd 1991 Gulf War Truce & violatd 19 U.N. reolutions. Gore/Clnton sent "Iraqi Liberation Act" bill to congress 1998. 9/11 happnd & Bush went after OBL in Afghan. 2002, Congress passd bill by both houses & both parties by majority giving Bush legal authority to remove Saddam. Bush did.

[blicksflicks]

jefeisdguard, you might want to add also that under the Clinton Presidency, more lives were lost in acts of war. But, the liberal media never told us that, and very few informed Americans ever even look that fact up. When will Democratic Liberals ever do some research and stop depending on the government to support them from cradle to grave?

[HugeJohn51]

Did you even watch this report? Obama was never a mayor? who cares? Was George Washington? you make points that mean nothing. McCains' experience means nothing if he is a lying warmongering political asshole. pro family and pro life? and pro war? Does that make sense to you? A Weapons inspector just told you that Bush lied about WMD, and McCain knew it, and you talk about what church they go to? Who cares where they spend thier Sundays? It matters what they do the rest of the week much more.

[jefeisdguard]

The argument that Bush manipulated the facts about Iraqi WMDs to pursue war is false. Bush acted on the consensus of every Intelligence Agency like British, French, Russians, Germans and the Jordanians-all of whom believed Saddam had WMDs

Bush can not be accused of 'inventing' their existence but Gore and the other Demagogues accuse Bush on a daily basis. Every Democratic Senator who voted for the war was provided, by the Administration a copy of the Intelligence Report/Data on Saddams WMDs.

[HugeJohn51]

No, it isn't false- I just gave you one instance where evidence to the contrary of the Bush opinion was ignored. Your assertion that all those Intelligence agencies believed Saddam had WMD's if false, and it takes about 5mins of research to figure that out. The CIA didnt' believe it, and was forced by white house to make the language stronger in white paper, from 'we believe' to 'Iraq has'. The germans said 'we can't verify the source' of thier wmd info, there was no yellowcake and bush knew it

[jefeisdguard]

HugeJohn51 said,"The CIA didnt' believe it, and was forced by white house to make the language stronger in white paper, from 'we believe' to 'Iraq has'"

The 9/11 commission reports have been published prematurely. Reports have been coming in that saddam did indeed have WMD's!

See partial link below for just one of many I've stored somewhere!?! I'll find them

watch?v=FWzCQi-K5d4&feature=em­ail

Tour of Saddams WMD lab at al-tuwaitha by zibbix

Video proof Saddam had WMDs!!

[y2raza]

u r the classic right winger who is paranoid about the world around it, your obviously are not going to mention the PNAC or for that matter 11 years of constant funding & propping up of the same radical JIHADIS in Afghanistan, you sir are a clue less ignoramus, the fact is that it is for people like you the REPUBLICANS have to over simplify every thing, USA is in IRAQ for her strategic interest, Sadam's ouster was a side effect of the main show who by the way was propped by the REAGAN admin.

[jefeisdguard]

y2raza said,"USA is in IRAQ for her strategic interest"

WRONG! USA is in Iraq because, Congress gave BUSH the 'legal' authority to remove Saddam the international criminal.

Gore & Clinton couldn't do the job & sent a bill,"Liberation Iraqi Act", to congress in 1998.

The bill has 23 "whereas" clauses justifying the war. Two of these clauses refer to WMDs and 12 refer to U.N. Resolutions Violations.

If Saddam left there would be no invasion. Isn't it sad the Democrats blame Bush and not Saddam?

[Xenu]

Saddam offered to leave along and it made no difference. Control of Iraqi oil was Clinton policy as well as Bush policy but IRaq needed to be completely weakened and surveilled before the invasion. Scott Ritter is a Republican, not a Democrat. Regardless, one doesn't need to argue that the invasion was about oil and control of Iraq. Bush has announced it with SOFA and the Oil Law.

[jefeisdguard]

Didn't no Ritters party affiliation.

Doesn't matter.

Oil was a very little part of the invasion.

Sovereignty to Iraq was important much to the dismay of potentate regimes surrounding Iraq. They may have been the cause of much of the insurrectionists that had flooded that country.

Not to mention language barriers & insufficient troop levels to guard, for example, confiscated weaponary that were later stolen!

Also the distrust from people thinking we were conquerors instead of liberators.

[Xenu]

The US has been opposed to Iraqi sovereignty. Bush has officially made it known why Iraq was invaded. The SOFA demands permanent military bases and the Oil law demands US priority in exploiting the oil of the country. From the beginning Iraq's laws were shaped by Bremer to prevent Iraqi democracy. Can you imagine what would happen is Iraq were democratic? They would nationalize their oil, move closer to Iran & possible join the SCO. The insurgency is 99% Iraqi.

[jefeisdguard]

Xenu said,"The insurgency is 99% Iraqi"

Sorry. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Many Al qaeda insurgents that are Phillipinos, Saudis, Afghans, Pakistanis, Iranians, Jordanians, Chechens, Syrians, Indonesians are coming into IRAQ!

It is the IRAQIS themselves who are snitching on the foreigners in their land!

Where in the HECK dod you get that information?

99% Iraqi? That is PURE BULL!

PROVE IT!

[Xenu]

You're an idiot.

[jefeisdguard]

Prove it.

[y2raza]

r u doing drugs or what you are proving my point that USA did not go into IRAQ to liberate any one but for selfish purposes & i do not blame BUSH or DEMS for that , but this semi colonial/imperialist policy has not worked in the past nor will it work in future, the residual affect of AGHAN WAR is still menacing the whole world & u feel proud of it , you are a dumb ass

[jefeisdguard]

y2raza said,"the residual affect of AGHAN WAR [...] dumb ass"

Ahhh, yes, ur feelings & my thoughts, R NOT same!

This is what YOU THINK, I am thinking.

Well, I'm NOT. I don't want to cutNrun like the Dems want to do & like Obama wants to do. You bring out feelings of what you perceive Americans WANT FROM THE WAR & THAT IS TO GET OUT!

Yes, BUT you & the DEMS forget HORRIBLY & STUPIDLY that Americans are WINNERS!

Yes, get out BUT we want to WIN FIRST!

Not go home w/job NOT YET FINISHED

[Real9erfan]

jefeisguard

What exactly are you trying to win? You destroyed an entire country, killed over a million people, turned over 5 million into refugees, brought utter chaos and disorder to a country that knew none of it, fomented sectarian hatred and strife, built walls between the various particularistic groups, tore apart the entire social fabric of a country and installed one of the most corrupt governments in the world. So what exactly are you hoping to "win?"

[jefeisdguard]

Real9erfan said,"killled over a million people"

Whoah! Stop right there. MILLION?

Did you know this figure came from the liberal media?

Don't believe me?

Race you to the medicine cabinet?

[BadBoy47]

George Bush said "Mission Accomplished" 3 years ago. We are there for no apparent reason. Over 4000 soldiers have died more than the Vietnam war. honestly this war was a complete utter failure. on top of that the WMD's that were so-called in Iraq weren't there. We went to Iraq to tap the oil reserve and to assassinate Saddam Hussein because Saddam put a hit out on Bush's daddy

[jefeisdguard]

BadBoy47 said,"said "Mission Accomplished" 3 years ago"

Now this is stupid & you are even more so.

YOU TELL ME. DID BUSH SAY THIS OR NOT? OR WAS THIS THE LIBERAL MEDIA USING THE BANNER BEHIND BUSH WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING ON THE DESTROYER?

What do you think this actually meant?

Stop watching the liberal media & open a book & Jesus was NOT BLACK! He was Mexican.

[chewbaca1989]

I used to think the same thing, blame Saddam. But Iraqis never hurt Americans.

[Ahmedo1984]

What you don't realize is that you didn't think but where told or rather brainwashed by the Media and the goverment to think. Iraq, Palastine, Afganistan, Somalia, You name it America or the West has attacked it and corrupted it. They Are scared to have the Khalifate(islamic Empire) back. Which ruled the middle east from india till Bosnia and Northern Afrika up to 1890. Because it whould interfere in their plan of world dominince.

[y2raza]

who is framing this argument in Democrat of Republican terms ??? ur convenient Amnesia is not shocking or unexpected, it is the RIGHT wingers like you who live your life in some time warp or Cinderella land where every thing is framed in GOOD & EVIL,HOLY & UNHOLY! USA is the only super power & IRAQ is a core cog in her strategic policy for next 50 years, & by the way the same international criminal SADAM was the darling of REAGAN administration, i wonder what does that make REAGAN & COHORTS???

[jefeisdguard]

y2raza said,"by the way the same international criminal SADAM was the darling of REAGAN administration, i wonder what does that make REAGAN & COHORTS???"

Yeah, yeah yeah ... cold war & history.

We(U.S.) used them & they used us! We trained Osama & he used us. This type of covert operations have been going on for hundreds of years. Using each other(enemies) for a common purpose! Makes Reagan, BRILLIANT!

McCain wants an embassy in Iraq just like we have embassies in numerous foreign countries.

[BadBoy47]

Clinton was really busy giving the country a surplus of over 120 million dollars(which Bush turned to a deficit of over a trillion dollars) and keeping gas prices down to a dollar. and keeping peace in the middle east

[jefeisdguard]

McCain never attended racist church Obama did for 20 yrs at Trinity United McCains pastor never spewed hate against blacks Obamas pastor spewed hate against whites McCain never studied KKK philosophy Obama? studied Dr.J.H.Cone,BLACK POWER,20 yrs McCain was tortured 5.5 yrs Obama had a splinter once McCain over 20 yrs EXP in politics Obama? 5.5 months of actual Congressional work McCain has yrs FOREIGN AFFAIRS experience Obama? Prayed at Mosque w/stepdad in Indon. Obama IS Kenyan citizen

[BadBoy47]

do u know if mccain actually went to church?? he just said that. obama cant be held accountable for what his pastor said. im sure he disagreed with what his pastor said and also his pastor only said this recently. obama has long record in the senate passing bills against nuclear terrorism. he cant help what his stepdad made him do. most children have to follow whatever religion their parents were following. he was raised by his grandparents though who are christians.

[jefeisdguard]

For 20 yrs Obama & his wife were subjected to the diatribe of HATE from Jeremiah Wright at Trinity

-Jeremiah preached to 2 gods

-Impossible to be saved preaching to 2 gods!

-Wright preached a BlackJesus/bible on one hand & spewed HATE for rich white Americans & America on the other

-Trinity taught Black Liberation Theology NOT Christ Theology thru the philosophy of DR.J.H.Cone said:

"Black theology will accept only the love of god which participates in the destruction of the white enemy."

[BadBoy47]

you are racist my friend. black churches preach about equality and he definitely does not preach to 2 gods. show me facts about that and then i will shut up otherwise u are just using scare and smear tactics. the KKK preaches hatred against blacks Wright never spewed hatred to anyone. he said that alot of people in america who are white are very racist on top of that read the bible all of those images of jesus being a white man are wrong. skin of bronze, hair of wool. seems like black man to me.

[jefeisdguard]

BadBoy47 said,"skin of bronze, hair of wool"

Jesus wasn't born in Egypt but in Iraq. Abraham too. You are racist as am I because we're both born w/sin! Jesus isn't because he was only man born sinless!

There are many bronze, woolly haired, blue eyed people all over. Now bronze is black to you? Are you color blind?

Doesn't even begin to describe a black person. PURPLE describes a black person, bronze looks more like a suntan to me. Been to the beach lately?

Wright is racist & hatemonger

[BadBoy47]

that comment u made about purple being a black person is racist secondly he was born in jerusalem which might have been near iraq but is not and wasnt iraq. skin of bronze means a glossy brown color. a white person getting that tan takes a whole lot of tanning and spray on tan. wool is nappy and course like a black person hair. no white person has hair of that texture so u are full of garbage.

[chopin65]

Scott Ritter makes a great point. The selection of Palin is a ploy to get the women's vote. It seems obvious to me. That was the first thought that occurred to me. Why else pick a woman with zero experience on the world stage?

[cosmlayla]

John McCain puts McCain first!

[sunamori6765]

This is maybe the best source of news nowadays. This is once more a great interview, congratulations to RNN for everything they are doing.

[edusalcedo]

Keep it up guys, I like this channel so much. Ask Scott Ritter about the situation in the Persian Gulf right now, I think he is one of the more acknowledge people on this topic.

[k6tpl]

Very good! Now why didn't CNN interview this guy? The Evangelical influence in this election is unnerving. A few hundred years ago my Church managed to get involved in Politics. It wasn't really good.

[HugeJohn51]

If a church gets involved in politics is isn't just a church anymore and should lose its tax exempt status. Evangelicals have been dancing on that line since Reagan.

[ejbh3160]

I think he'll be surprised how many people DO know about the USS Liberty incident now!

Anyone who has seen 'Loose Change' (& thats a LOT) will know about it. When I saw it I simply didn't believe it. I had to do research of my own to find out if it was true & was really shocked to find out that it WAS!

I'm surprised he hasn't heard of it.

It opened MY EYES to the fact that those in power don't give a rat's about the people they serve(?) So who DO they really 'serve'!?

The illusion is fading now!
