Here is another piece written by the same author. Sounds like a very credible fellow:
"http://www.sass.caltech.edu/events/ritter.shtml has a copy online of a good talk at Cal Tech, with questions and answers, given by an ex UN Inspector that was an ex US Marine and is an ex Bush voter a Christian and Republican.
This was the most clear headed description, of the long term Iraq conflict, that I have heard or seen, so far. He predicted on 13 November 2002, that Bush would go to war, no matter what.
It would be wise for people, that really want to know, what has actually been happening, to listen to what he said then, or to find a printed copy.
It would be wise for people, that really want to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution, from enemies both foreign and domestic, to hold our leaders accountable, for not leading with very much wisdom.
Then in March 2003 Ritter predicted that they would find no WMD’s.

“audio recording of
“war on iraq: how did we get here?”
presentation by scott ritter, former un weapons inspector, march 18, 2003, chapman university, orange, ca.”
the truth about the wmd’s. really neat talk on our constitution and how to do inspections in spite of iraq, un and us, and how ignorant bush was about wmd’s. all they had to do is ask scott and or his technical team. it was an accounting problem, not a clear and present threat. us had unilateral policy of regime change that was not un sanctioned. us did not cooperate with inspectors because the president did not really want disarmament. israel did want disarmament. he straight out said that there were no wmd’s and why there were no wmd’s! no wonder blix thought he could finish up in 90 days!
listening to scott, this thought came to me:
even if, there really were tons of wmd’s, bush made it even more risky for us citizens because:
1. it was not risky in the first place because osama and saddam were enemies and saddam would never have let any loose and have them used on himself.
2. if tons of wmd’s were left unguarded in the chaos of war, some could have been stolen and sold to osama’s troops.
3. “bush light” on his troops attack without the recommended troop level to provide order after the main battles created chaos and the risk of letting those tons of wmd’s loose. we are still destroying their conventional weapons. they are still using rpg’s and explosives from shells.
4. bush was creating more enemies, that want to use wmd’s on us.
