- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2004Months prior to the Iraq war, I researched press accounts worldwide, read published UN documents and web-posted reports and evaluations of weapons experts, and read this book by Scott Ritter and published interviews of him, and was convinced that either Iraq had no WMD or had no functioning WMD.
My question is: if I could come to this conclusion without the aid of classified intelligence, how can we even conceive of the President of the United States coming to his false and calamitous conclusion with all of the classified and unclassified intelligence at his disposal? Even the President now agrees that Iraq had no WMD based on the Kay report.
When one considers all the vilification that Scott Ritter has undergone, how his patriotism and professionalism have been questioned, and how he has even been threatened with Court hearings, simply because he spoke the obvious truth long before it was politically chic to speak it, it is clear that the US government owes Mr. Ritter an immense apology. It is also obvious that if the United States government wants to conduct a fair and impartial investigation of this intelligence calamity, it should appoint Scott Ritter to head the investigation.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2004Having just read this short little book I am absolutely amazed at the foresight Pitt and Ritter displayed in 2002. Almost everything these two men said about the state of Iraq then and now is incredibly accurate. I never would have believed that Scott Ritter, who the mainstream press branded a "lunatic" or "an Iraqi agent", was actually one of the better informed Americans when it came to the nation of Iraq. From WMD to tribal factions to the members of the so called "insurgents", it seems that Scott Ritter is the person the press and the Pentagon should have gone to when they had questions of Saddam and Iraq.
This book is a must read for ANY red blooded, straight thinking American who is genuinely interested in the truth about Iraq.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2004Much of this booklet is an interview conducted by William R. Pitt with Scott Ritter ,UN weapons inspector who worked in Iraq.The interview exposes mendacious, deceitful nature of Bush Jr administration.American people were prevented from knowing the truth about nature of war unleashed upon Iraq which they were called to support.
Ritter says Iraq was virtually disarmed with much of its WMD capability way back in 1998.Shocking to know UN weapons inspection team called UNSCOM headed by an Australian diplomat Richard Butler were doing things which had nothing to do disarming Iraq.It was collecting intelligence about Saddam's whereabouts .Aim was to provokeIraqis.Inspection team would soon be expelled which then would serve as a cover to bomb that country. Further Ritter says that Saddam's regime ,though brutal ,was secular by nature.No evidence to show Baa'thists had links with Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.To the contrary Osama and his cohorts despised Baa'thist govt ,sought its ouster.
So why did Anglo-Americans invade Iraq?Primarily because there was a veiled agenda of controlling Iraq's fabulous oil wealth.Also over the years ruling circles in US and UK developed a visceral hatred towards Saddam Hussein as media in both countries continued to demonise him.Despite Saddam repeatedly giving into American demands by opening more more sites for inspection ,he had to go.Revelations by former senior administrationofficials also point to this direction.Paul O'Neill once Treasury Sec in Bush Jr administration reveals in his memoirs 'The Price of Loyalty'few in Bush administration had contemplated attacking Iraq long before Sep 11 terrorist attacks in US.Also former head head of counter-terrorism branch of NSA Richard Clark makes the same point in his book 'Against All Enemies'This again calls into question the sincerity of this administration in fighting terrorism unleashed by Islamic fundamentalists.
One is forced to conclude after reading this booklet American foreign policy is in tatters.This administration is amoral ,unethical, poltically and morally corrupt.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019this book was in Japanese , total waste of money , the sad part is it is censored and they will not print in English , a true story the govt doesnt want told .
- Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016I too read Pitt's and Ritter's book a few months before March 2003. All of the "intelligence" that one needed to know about Iraq and WMD was contained in an $8.95 paperback book. I know that I am repeating what others have already written, but I would like to add that Ritter and Pitt deserve some kind of honor or recognition. They are two of the few heroes to emerge from the era we suffered under the disgraceful Cheney presidency. Cheney should be behind bars.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014Why GeoW Bush president isn't on trial for mass murder is beyond me. OR members of our CIA for the things they fabricated for the money gained by perpetuating a false war. Mr. Pitt is a national hero!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016Truth has a hard time getting a foothold in today's America. These two gentlemen are like Sherpa guides through the craggy terrain of recent American history. Highly recommended!

「正義」も「国際法」もなかった米国のイラク侵略を、科学的な調査で立証したスコット・リッター。彼は今、ウロ戦争でのヒステリックなロシア非難を排し、法医学的見地からの客観的な検証を訴える。
Greg BondReviewed in Australia on January 28, 20215.0 out of 5 stars A factual Report from someone directly involved
Scott Ritter was a Weapons Inspector on the ground in Iraq with a U.S. Military Background and the best and credible person to provide an insight into the events at the time.
Comrade XReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 20165.0 out of 5 stars If you thought Tony Blair was making it up ...
...this will confirm your suspicions.
I found this via Robert Fisk's book, 'The Great War for Civilization', which I have just reviewed.
The author's military background and his laconic style makes for easy reading of a difficult subject.

louga de montelimarReviewed in France on March 18, 20034.0 out of 5 stars Que fait la presse américaine?
Excelent livre très concis (et traduit en français depuis) sur les causes de la guerre en Irak et surtout sur les pretextes fallacieux qui justiphie selon l'administration américaine l'intervention armée. Malgré quelques points de vue qui peuvent paraître exagéré on apprend l'étendue de la mauvaise foi iraquienne et surtout l'étendue de la manipulation des médias américains.Espérons que nous sommes mieux lottis.
Kazim TajriReviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Good.
Good.
