Ritter Debates Hitchens

Yellow Dog gives us a seat at a debate between former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter and the inimitable administration apologist Christopher Hitchens. It's clear whose corner YD is in but that doesn't make Ritter's arguments any less impressive. Sample: "Stop evaluating Iraq from the perspective of a security threat to the U.S. or you'll make yourself crazy – because it didn't exist," said Ritter. "This had nothing whatsoever to do with the security of the United States and it had everything to do with correcting a political embarrassment to the U.S. and that was Saddam Hussein remaining in power."
