While Chickenhawk War Proponents Got Iraq All Wrong And Were Rewarded, Scott Ritter Got It Right And Was Villified

Glenn Greenwald, sneaking in a quick blog post on book deadline day, tells us what so very few will admit: that while people (I'll lose the term loosely here) like Peter Reinert and Jonah Goldberg (Lucianne's fat putz devil spawn) consistently got every prediction and "reality" of Iraq wrong and were rewarded again and again for doing so, former UN weapons inspector and first U.S.-Iraq commander Norman Schwarzkopf's main man, Scott Ritter, was almost always right and was villified for it.

If you've been paying attention to Ritter recently - such as at the speech he gave in Vermont a few months ago - you know he has much to say about Iran as well, including the fact that Bush is already waging war there. Ritter also tells us that Iraq is going to seem like a picnic compared to what happens when our Bush's drumbeat to the Iran war hits the big-time.
