Fmr. UN Chief Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter Addresses Iraqi National Assembly

HeadlineSep 09, 2002

And former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter addressed the Iraqi National Assembly in Baghdad on Sunday. He said the US seems to be on the verge of making a historical mistake. He said Iraq is not a sponsor of the kind of terror perpetrated against the United States on September 11th and, in fact, is active in suppressing that sort of fundamental extremism. Ritter also said Iraq has been certified as being 90 to 95 percent disarmed and warned that if the US unilaterally launches any military action against Iraq, it will, quote, “forever change the political dynamic which has governed the world since the end of the Second World War, namely the foundation of international law as set forth in the United Nations Charter, which calls for the peaceful resolution of problems between nations.” Again, those the words of UN chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who is in Iraq.
