Scott Ritter on American Attitudes, the Coming War With Iran
and how to stop it.

I got to sit down with Scott for about a half hour late last week after his appearance at the Seneca II lecture series on the campus of West Virginia State University in Institute, West Virginia.

This is the audio of the broadcast with video additions by the intrepid, incomparable Jon Fox, our Chief Engineer at The H.O.R.N. Video of his remarks will follow shortly.

7. Having been there, I must agree
His comments on Iran are something that simply isn't being said in many other places apart from The H.O.R.N.

8. And Bruce has a lot of credibility with me.
I read him as a true professional, not a "politician."

10. I have an ancient computer and very slow dial-up, so I can neither watch or listen.
But I'm happy to k&r your post for those who have better equipment and better connections.

Thank you for posting this!

21. We tried to put up a dial-up link
via YouTube, but it was being persnickety.

We do, however, have a dial-up stream for all the live H.O.R.N. programming.

We'd love to hear from you on any or all of the shows!

Thanks for trying!

13. Ritter is one of the FEW clear voices on the situation.
Saw him speak about two years ago with Gore Vidal.
I'll never forget that evening.

Thanks for posting the link-
I will spread it wide and far knowing
he'll never be given corpoRATe air time.
He is one of the very few valid experts telling people what needs to be known.

14. He knows he's not welcome on the MSM
And said so plainly. For Ritter, it's a combination of laziness on the part of the American people and the MSM pandering to the lowest common denominator.

Thanks for listening!

18. If we don't nuke it,
I'm pretty sure we're going to do every bit as much harm with conventional weapons.

Did you catch the news this week that Dear Leader's "Emergency" War Supplemental includes $88 Million Dollars to retro-fit B-2 Stealth Bombers to carry the 30,000 lb. Massive Ordinance Penetrator bomb?

We have complete air superiority in Iraq and Afghanistan. No need for "stealth" there. In Iran, on the other hand, they have air defenses.

Sorta tells you where we're going next, and when, doesn't it?

Again, thanks for listening!

19. "Sorta tells you where we're going next, and when, doesn't it?"
Sure does-
Voices of sanity and the will of the people be damned.

The bombing of the Baker-Botts Baku Embassy was not random.
It's ALL about the pipelines.

20. I particularly liked his idea
about going to the people who support the people who aren't doing the Peoples' business. Those are the folks who respond to wallet pressure, and that seems to be the strongest pressure in America right now.

Thanks for checking it out!
