Opposition is mounting at home, too. At a hearing on Capitol Hill focusing on the issue of attacking Iraq, Scott Ritter, the former chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, said the Bush administration had failed to make the case for war. "We cannot go to war based upon rumor. We cannot go to war based upon speculation. Before we send tens of thousands of American troops off to fight, kill and be killed in our name, we have to be absolutely certain that there is a threat there worthy of war." There is something stange about Ritter. It is very odd. At the time when he resigned I thought it was nothing short of a heroic act, as he felt so strongly that we were being deceived by Saddam. Now, several years later, after Saddam has had NO ONE to keep an eye on his activities for 4 years, Ritter believes Saddam isn't a threat. The inconsistency is glaring. If you believed him in '98 (and I did), you can't believe him now. The other nations "jumping ship" prematurely are meaningless. They'll all sign on when we make our commitment. I continue to hope the CIA can arrange to have Saddam assassinated before we have to go to war.
