This is the third of RAW STORY’s series of conversations with former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter. In the first installment, Ritter spoke about the situations as regards weapons in Iraq, Iran and Russia. In the second, Ritter enumerated what he saw as the failings of the U.S. intelligence operation, calling the CIA ‘terminally ill.’

In this final part of the three-part series, the former weapons inspector details his beliefs about the neoconservative movement, the American legislative process and his hopes for the future.

1. Scott Ritter

is the reason I knew there were no WMDs before we invaded Iraq - I have alot of respect for him....he was right

2. He was the first reason I knew the administration was lying

even though his statements contradicted statements he'd made in the late 90s. When Hans Blix found nothing, I knew for certain that there was nothing there.

When an old broad in a hick town in flyover country seemingly knows more than the government (meaning Congress) does, something is seriously wrong.

We've got to vote these guys out. All of them.

5. Ah, memories. Yes, how interesting it was to know we were right...

amidst all this "debate" and "confusion." I never doubted people like Scott Ritter for a second.

6. Everyone who voted for the war in Iraq should be voted out of office?

Everyone who voted for the war in Iraq should be voted out of office because it violated the violated article six of the Constitution. Everyone who voted for the Patriot Act needs to go because they did not represent the people by voting on legislation they did not read. They have to go, regardless of party. They have through their actions decided who stays and who goes.

That would be a strong statement on DU. 99% purge of the Senate... Strong statement...

7. Yes, it is

A very strong statement. Would make for interesting discussion on impeachment issues I think.
