“I made a movie to explain to the American public what had been achieved in regards to disarmament of Iraq and why inspectors aren't in Iraq today and detailing the very complex, murky history of interaction between Iraq, the United Nations and the United States. It is most definitely not a pro-Iraq movie. It is a pro-truth movie.” MadeStatesTodayNationsUnitedUnited StatesRegardComplexesIraqInteractionUnited NationsDisarmamentInspectors Author:Scott Ritter

“An institution that...would permit Iraq, a terrorist state that refuses to disarm, to become soon the chair of the United Nations Commission on Disarmament, and which recently elected Libya - a terrorist state - to chair the United Nations Commission on Human Rights of all things, seems not to be even struggling to regain credibility. That these acts of irresponsibility could happen now, at this moment in history, is breathtaking.” HumansWarStatesMomentsSeemsHappensNationsUnitedStruggleRightsAll ThingsInstitutionsHuman RightsIraqRefuseTerroristChairsPermitUnited NationsCredibilityDisarmamentLibyaBreathtakingIrresponsibility Author:Donald Rumsfeld
