since the writing has been on the wall for some time now. We cannot let
this happen IN OUR NAME again! It’s time to take to the streets on
behalf of our children and each other.
Scott Ritter Says U.S. Plans June Attack On Iran; 'Cooked' Jan. 30 Iraqi Election Results

Scott
Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail [February 18] in
Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered
to a packed house in Olympia's Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned
UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has “signed off” on
plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the
results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq….
On Iran,
Ritter said that George W. Bush has received and signed off on orders
for an aerial attack on Iran planned for June 2005. Its purported goal
is the destruction of Iran's alleged program to develop nuclear
weapons, but Ritter said neoconservatives in the administration also
expected that the attack would set in motion a chain of events leading
to regime change in the oil-rich nation of 70 million — a possibility
Ritter regards with the greatest skepticism.
The
former Marine also said that the Jan. 30 elections, which George W.
Bush has called “a turning point in the history of Iraq, a milestone in
the advance of freedom,” were not so free after all. Ritter said that
U.S. authorities in Iraq had manipulated the results in order to reduce
the percentage of the vote received by the United Iraqi Alliance from
56% to 48%.
Asked by
UFPPC's Ted Nation about this shocker, Ritter said an official involved
in the manipulation was the source, and that this would soon be
reported by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in a major metropolitan
magazine — an obvious allusion to New Yorker reporter Seymour M.
Hersh.
