The U.N. Inspector who warned there were NO WMD's in Iraq -- IN FRESNO THIS FRIDAY!!!
Scott Ritter was the UN's top weapons inspector in Iraq until 1998, when he resigned claiming President Clinton was too easy on Saddam. Just before our most recent invasion, Ritter warned that Hussein didn't seem to have weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that trying to oust him would be "extremely dangerous."
I think we all know how THAT worked out in the end.
Friday October 25, Ritter will be lecturing in Fresno as part of his TOUR OF DUTY: OPERATION THANKS tour. He will be accompanied by Gold Star Mom Nadia McCaffrey. The program begins at 8 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Fresno.
Suggested donation is $10, but NO ONE will be turned away. Ritter's books will also be onhand for sale.
McCaffrey's son was a soldier who lost his life in Iraq, which inspired her to create an organization that assists returning veterans who are suffering from PTSD, as well as other parents who have lost children in combat.

This is tonight!
I saw Scott Ritter speak about a year ago and his presentation was incredibly powerful. His insights are shocking when you consider the information that he has been privy to. I look forward to the lecture.
I just heard Scott on the radio
I just heard an interview that was way too short on the radio right now and this sounds interesting. I just don't know about ten dollars for the door.
