Scott Ritter was not a leader of the anti-war movement.
He was one of the people Faux-news would put on TV to play the part of a liberal. He was on the CIA or military payroll for years and only recently had an awakening and still has a learning curve, not as big as yours, but a learning curve yet to fathom.

One of the great diservices played on the American public is the charactatures that have been put forth to immitate liberal values.

Here is a much more typical analysis of the time.
iraqfoundation.org

Half of Iraq's military equipment lacks spare parts, and its armed forces are operating at only 50 percent effectiveness, the International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates in its annual survey of world armed forces.

The Institute's Washington director has also said a military invasion of Baghdad itself may not be necessary to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

..... By the time Baghdad is encircled, he said, it is possible that military opposition will have melted away.


It is no wonder you have so many misconceptions about even recent history if you are guided only by News Corp and Clear Channel.

We will not win this fight. America will loose this war.


We are losing the war. Seriously, do you still not get it?
