On Sept 29, 2009, Dylan Ratigan on MSNBC's Morning Meeting interviewed Scott Ritter about Iran's nuclear site.
Scott Ritter was the former Chief United Nations Weapons Inspector.
He was the chief weapons inspector in Iraq.
He is author of the book "Target Iran".
"The nuclear facility has been declared by Iran."
"There is no diversion of nuclear material."
"There is no operational activity taking place."
"And it will be fully inspected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors."
"There is no revelation here."
"It's not about Iran's nuclear program."
"It is being used by certain elements to say they were doing something in secret. We can't trust them."
"But it's not about Iran's nuclear program. It's about the theocracy in Tehran, and the United States has deemed the Iranian form of Islamic Republic to be incompatible with out goals and visions of what Middle East look like."
"Israel has made repeated threats to bomb Iran."
Is it counterproductive [for the US and Israel to make these threats?]"
"Yes. This is something that will be resolved by diplomacy, not by force of arms."
"It's ridiculous to keep talking about a military option."
Nuke ....israel :D

@Ahamster1 Israel forced Palestinians off their land when they took control. When the Ottoman empire controlled the holy land, arabs lived in relative peace. At no point did the arabs force jews off the land. Only the extreme radicals are against jews living in the holy land. Most supporters of palestine are against a jewish state that continues to oppress the Palestinians according to international law.

@Ahamster1
dear god you have a interesting version of history.
Israel came into existence in 1948.
there was no country as Israel before then.
unless you have made a new discovery of a lost civilisation?
no no i don't think you have,
But even if it was true. sorry international does not work like that. and planet earth is about 4.5 billion years old. you really think humans can claim it as historically their own?
you jest surely.

@nasri1011 they lost it over 2000 years ago, then the palestinians took it for a loong time. Now they're here to claim it back.
Just go read on history of the Israelites first, don't read the news for the news is always current/recent

@Ahamster1 Listen here buddy, christians muslims, and other faiths have been persecuted for thousands of years as well, throw your lame ass excuse outside the window. Every country in the middle east should acquire nuclear weapons, why is israel entitled to have such weapons, when it is surrounded by 300 million arabs who are against the Zionist apartheid state. You are a Zionist sympathizer and you fucking disgust me. Still persecuted? they fucking control 90 % of the land you lying bastard

@noaid2israel um but Israel hasn't used any of its nuclear arms as a first strike weapon.....plus the fact that the Jews have been persecuted for thousands of years, and that they're still persecuted, fighting for their homeland.
I think Iran just has a crazy leader, the people there are fine. The overall goal is to maintain peace, and presently Iran is the one threatening to escalate violence an already conflict-ridden region

The hasbarists will not like this ... but, ISRAEL is THE REASON why we're all over Iran. Israel sees Iran as a threat, so our Israel ass-kissing US president, and our Israel ass-kissing Congress must genuflect before Israel or suffer the consequences of Zionist wrath. Israel has a HUGE nuclear weapons program, Israel is not a signatory to the NPT, and Israel DOESN'T permit IAEA inspections of it's nuke facilities. Iran is NO threat to us. If we war on Iran, it will be BECAUSE of Israel.
