Scott Ritter Says US Attack on Iran Planned for June
By Mark Jensen

Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in Washington
State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered to a packed house in
Olympia's Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned UNSCOM weapons inspector said
that George W. Bush has "signed off" on plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and
claimed the U.S. manipulated the results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in
Iraq.
Olympians like to call the Capitol Theater "historic," but it's doubtful
whether the eighty-year-old edifice has ever been the scene of more portentous
revelations.
The principal theme of Scott Ritter's talk was Americans' duty to protect the
U.S. Constitution by taking action to bring an end to the illegal war in Iraq.
But in passing, the former UNSCOM weapons inspector stunned his listeners with
two pronouncements. Ritter said plans for a June attack on Iran have been
submitted to President George W. Bush, and that the president has approved them.
He also asserted that knowledgeable sources say U.S. officials "cooked" the
results of the Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.
On
Iran, Ritter said that President George W. Bush has received and signed off on
orders for an aerial attack on Iran planned for June 2005. Its purported goal is
the destruction of Iran's alleged program to develop nuclear weapons, but Ritter
said neoconservatives in the administration also expected that the attack would
set in motion a chain of events leading to regime change in the oil-rich nation
of 70 million -- a possibility Ritter regards with the greatest skepticism.
The former Marine also said that the Jan. 30 elections, which George W. Bush
has called "a turning point in the history of Iraq, a milestone in the advance
of freedom," were not so free after all. Ritter said that U.S. authorities in
Iraq had manipulated the results in order to reduce the percentage of the vote
received by the United Iraqi Alliance from 56% to 48%.
Asked by UFPPC's Ted Nation about this shocker, Ritter said an official
involved in the manipulation was the source, and that this would soon be
reported by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in a major metropolitan magazine
-- an obvious allusion to New Yorker reporter Seymour M. Hersh.
On
Jan. 17, the New Yorker posted an article by Hersh entitled
The Coming Wars (New
Yorker, January 24-31, 2005). In it, the well-known investigative journalist
claimed that for the Bush administration, "The next strategic target [is] Iran."
Hersh also reported that "The Administration has been conducting secret
reconnaissance missions inside Iran at least since last summer." According to
Hersh, "Defense Department civilians, under the leadership of Douglas Feith,
have been working with Israeli planners and consultants to develop and refine
potential nuclear, chemical-weapons, and missile targets inside Iran. . . .
Strategists at the headquarters of the U.S. Central Command, in Tampa, Florida,
have been asked to revise the military's war plan, providing for a maximum
ground and air invasion of Iran. . . . The hawks in the Administration believe
that it will soon become clear that the Europeans' negotiated approach [to Iran]
cannot succeed, and that at that time the Administration will act."
Scott Ritter said that although the peace movement failed to stop the war in
Iraq, it had a chance to stop the expansion of the war to other nations like
Iran and Syria. He held up the specter of a day when the Iraq war might be
remembered as a relatively minor event that preceded an even greater
conflagration.
Scott Ritter's talk was the culmination of a long evening devoted to discussion
of Iraq and U.S. foreign policy. Before Ritter spoke, Dahr Jamail narrated a
slide show on Iraq focusing on Fallujah. He showed more than a hundred vivid
photographs taken in Iraq, mostly by himself. Many of them showed the horrific
slaughter of civilians.
Dahr
Jamail argued that U.S. mainstream media sources are complicit in the war and
help sustain support for it by deliberately downplaying the truth about the
devastation and death it is causing.
Jamail
was, until recently, one of the few unembedded journalists in Iraq and one of
the only independent ones. His reports have gained a substantial following and
are available online at

Friday evening's event in Olympia was sponsored by South Puget Sound Community
College's Student Activities Board, Veterans for Peace, 100 Thousand and
Counting, Olympia Movement for Justice & Peace, and United for Peace of Pierce
County.
