Scott Ritter Biography

Scott Ritter is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on July 15, 1961 in Gainesville, Georgia, United States. Ritter was born to a military family during the year 1961, from Gainesville, Florida. Ritter graduated from Kaiserslautern American High School located in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1979 as well as later graduated from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with an undergraduate degree in the field of history of the Soviet Union and departmental honors. In the year 1980, he was a member of the U.S. Army as a private. In May 1984, his appointment was as an intelligence officer with the United States Marine Corps. In this position, he served for a total of 12 years. He was the primary analysis of the Marine Corps Rapid Deployment Force regarding his involvement with the Soviet military invasion in Afghanistan as well as during the Iran- Iraq War. His research concentrated specifically on Basmachi resistance in the Basmachi rebellion that was active in Soviet Central Asia during the 1920s and 1930s, as well as specifically on Basmachi leaders Fazail Maksum, and Ibrahim Bek. In the course of Desert Storm, he served as a ballistic missile expert for the General Norman Schwarzkopf. Ritter later became a military and security consultant on behalf of The Fox News network. Ritter also was a part of “a long relationship […] of an official nature” with the British MI6 foreign intelligence agency. MI6 in an interview that he provided an interview to Democracy Now! in 2003.

From the beginning of January 1993 to my departure of my position at the United Nations in August 1998 I was a witness to the insidious Iraq policies under Bill Clinton’s Administration. Bill Clinton, the implementation of which saw the President lying to the American citizens about a threat that he knew was overhyped in August 1998, lie to Congress on his support for the disarmament process that his administration had no desire to be involved in, and tell the world lies about American intention, which did not support the multilateral nature of diplomacy, as evident by the Resolutions adopted by the Security Council Hillary Clinton so often mentions during her remarks, instead pursuing policies framed by the interest in that of the Clinton administration to expel Saddam Hussein from power.

[A]s of December 1998 we had no evidence Iraq had retained biological weapons, nor that they were working on any. In fact, we had a lot of evidence to suggest Iraq was in compliance. (page 46)

There’s no doubt Iraq hasn’t fully complied with its disarmament obligations as set forth by the Security Council in its resolution. But on the other hand, since 1998 Iraq has been fundamentally disarmed: 90-95% of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction capacity has been verifiably eliminated … We have to remember that this missing 5-10% doesn’t necessarily constitute a threat … It constitutes bits and pieces of a weapons program which in its totality doesn’t amount to much, but which is still prohibited … We can’t give Iraq a clean bill of health, therefore we can’t close the book on their weapons of mass destruction. But simultaneously, we can’t reasonably talk about Iraqi non- compliance as representing a de-facto retention of a prohibited capacity worthy of war. (page 28)

Ritter “ran intelligence operations for the United Nations” from 1991 until 1998, as an United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq within the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) that was charged with locating and eliminating all weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and related production capabilities within Iraq. He was chief inspector for one of over 30 inspection missions to which he was a participant.

William Scott Ritter Jr. (born July 15th in 1961) was an ex- United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq between 1991 and 1998. Later, he was an opponent of United States foreign policy in the Middle East. Prior to the US invasion in Iraq on March 3, 2003 Ritter said that Iraq did not have any major Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) capabilities. He was as per The New York Times “the loudest and most credible skeptic of the Bush administration’s contention that Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction.”

We took all documents that were part of that Iraqi Nuclear program, especially the administrative documents. We found a name for everyone, their location of work and what they did and, at the most prominent of them all the Saddam’s “Bombmaker” was a man identified as Jafar Dhia Jafar, not Khidir Hamza And if you look through the list of the top administrative staff, you won’t find his name. Actually, we didn’t discover his name in any way. In 1990, he was not working in The Iraqi Nuclear Program. He didn’t know about the program because he was an official for kickbacks in the office of Hussein Kamel in the Presidential Palace.

Beginning in December 1997, Ritter, with the approval of UNSCOM head Richard Butler and other top UNSCOM leaders, began to supply the UK’s foreign intelligence service MI6 with documents and briefings on UNSCOM’s findings to be used for MI6’s propaganda effort dubbed “Operation Mass Appeal”: “I was approached by the British intelligence service, which I had, again, a long relationship with, of an official nature, to see if there was any information in the archives of UNSCOM that could be handed to the British, so that they could in turn work it over, determine its veracity, and then seek to plant it in media outlets around the world, in an effort to try to shape the public opinion of those countries, and then indirectly, through, for instance, a report showing up in the Polish press, shape public opinion in Great Britain and the United States.

“I went to Richard Butler with the request from the British. He said that he supported this, and we initiated a cooperation that was very short-lived. The first reports were passed to the British sometime in February of 1998. There was a detailed planning meeting in June of 1998, and I resigned in August of

1998. […] This is an operation—Operation Mass Appeal, that had been going on prior to UNSCOM being asked to be the source of particular data, and it’s an operation that continued after my resignation.”
