Not that it isn't being done on this board every other day, but this guy just gets worse and worse. The U.S. should recruit Ritter to closely inspect unexploded ordnance in Iraq.

Bush Was Like Hitler, Says Weapons Man
By Hannah Cleaver, in Berlin
Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector, has compared the invasion of Iraq to Hitler's invasion of Poland.
He told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper that 130 Americans had died "for a lie", adding: "I see no difference between the invasion of Iraq and the invasion of Poland in 1939."
Both invasions were based on what he said was an artificial argument of self defence. President George W Bush had used the September 11 attacks as Hitler used the 1933 burning of the Reichstag to repress domestic dissidents.
Mr Ritter, who resigned as an inspector in 1998 saying Saddam Hussein's regime was hindering his work, said he did not now believe there were weapons of mass destruction in the country.
He called for inspectors to be sent back to obtain confirmation, so that UN sanctions could be lifted.
"The inspectors have to finish their work," he said. "This time they must also have the courage to say that the US has not told the truth."
