SCOTT RITTER: IRANIAN NUKES IS JUST HYPE
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009In this Democracy Now interview, former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter gives a no spin analysis of the current sabre rattling going on with Iran’s supposed nuclear capabilities.
Central to Scott’s argument is that Iran IS NOT in violation of any international agreement. In fact, they have done what they are required to do as a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty, that is, notify the IAEA of any nuclear enrichment site and capabilities.
I might add that while Iran has signed the treaty and is abiding by it by declaring its facilities and welcoming inspectors, Israel has not, and has said they will NEVER sign the nuclear treaty! In addition, they have NEVER let inspectors inside their facilities and they won’t even confirm that they even HAVE nukes!!!!!
Mr. Ritter points out that this is just fear mongering on the part of the Obama administration and Israel. The Iranians have been clear that this facility is for energy purposes and most importantly, the IAEA has inspected Iran and found them to be in total compliance!
My money is on Scott Ritter. He’s the weapons inspector that was on the ground in Iraq during the run up to the war. He was one of the most vocal exposers of the lies about Saddam’s WMDs and as history would have it, he was right on all of his points. Odds are he’s right on these points as well.
