Ritter: No “evidence” to prove allegations against Iran

December 4, 2007 - 0:0

Former United Nations weapons inspector Scott Ritter says that the danger of waging war on Tehran is that “it is just not worth it”.

In an interview with Detroit's weekly Metro Times, the weapons expert and dissenting patriot Ritter said unless there is a radical reawakening in the Congress, the chances of American lawmakers blocking military strikes against Iran are very low.
""What we can lose is everything, and what we gain is nothing,"" the former Marine Corps intelligence officer warned.
When asked what the U.S. should do to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons, Ritter dismissed the issue as a “wrong question”.
He added that presuming that Iran is seeking nuclear arms is faulty, as there is no “evidence” to prove the allegations.
""So rather than pose a question that legitimizes a certain point, I think the question should be: what should the United States be doing in regards to Iran?""
""We should be seeking to normalize relations with Iran. We should be seeking stability in the region,"" he affirmed.
The White House and its allies pressure Iran over its nuclear program, alleging that Tehran is pursuing nuclear weaponry.
This is while the UN nuclear watchdog has confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program.
