Correction and Update on: "Scott Ritter: Iran Attack Planned for June"

Scott Ritter speaking on the Randi Rhodes Show [show from 4-13-05 MP3, second half hour] explained how he was widely misquoted.
This is quite an interview. Scott Ritter is the former Chief Weapons Inspector for Iraq and one of the only voices saying Iraq had no WMD's during the build-up to war.
Now the correction:
He did not say that Bush was planning an attack on Iran in June -- he has no access to that kind of information.
He did, however, explain that last year, Bush signed off on a plan to create readiness for an air strike against Iran in June of 2005. According to the plan, we will be able to change our military posture toward Iran.
