Dennis Kucinich: US officials seize Scott Ritter’s passport at airport
State-ordered Purge of Truth-Tellers in Time of War. Scott Ritter Passport Seized, WaPo Smears Indy Journalists
For those who don’t remember Scott Ritter:
- Ryan Grim @ The Intercept, 2020: Joe Biden, Five Years Before Invasion, Said the Only Way of Disarming Iraq Is “Taking Saddam Down”
- YouTube clip: Joe Biden Talked Up War with Iraq Five Years Before the Invasion
Biden told Ritter that no matter how thorough the inspections, the only way to eliminate the threat was to remove Saddam Hussein. […] “You and I believe, and many of us believe here, as long as Saddam is at the helm, there is no reasonable prospect you or any other inspector is ever going to be able to guarantee that we have rooted out, root and branch, the entirety of Saddam’s program relative to weapons of mass destruction. […]
Hussein, it turned out, did not have an active WMD program.
During questioning, Biden mocked Ritter as “ol’ Scotty boy” and suggested that his demands — that the international community compel Iraq to cooperate with inspectors — if met, would give Ritter the unilateral authority to start a war in Iraq. Biden argued that such decisions belonged to higher-level officials. “I respectfully suggest they have a responsibility slightly above your pay grade, to decide whether or not to take the nation to war,” Biden said. “That’s a real tough decision. That’s why they get paid the big bucks. That’s why they get the limos and you don’t. I mean this sincerely, I’m not trying to be flip.”
I can see the Biden in that article and clip being the foreign policy strategist some users have made him out to be. Nowadays not so much. I think a lot of what gets attributed to “Biden” is more likely a result of people like Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken.
That daily beast article is trash lol. But also: isnt this guy a sex offender?
Yeah apparently twice convicted...
yeah... twice 8 years apart is where my brain pretty much discards the possibility that there was fuckery with the conviction and accepts he's probably a pedophile. If you were falsely charged with soliciting a minor in an online chatroom, it would be pretty easy to never do that again. Simply don't go on chat rooms, or even less effort: simply leave when they say they're underage

Welcome to the MAGA club Mr. Ritter

That might be what libs call jail now?
Joe Biden was always a warmonger.
