The latest from baby milk factory warrior Peter Arnett

[ARCADIA]

Peter has been snorting alot more then powdered baby's milk.

[ruiner]

Its convenient that all they mention was that he was "flashy" and "ruthless" but then vaguely hint that he was going to return Iraq to greatness through peaceful means.

God help us, he would've been worse than Saddam. Time to break out the videos of what he did to the athletes and common people of that poor country.

[Sunshine Sister]

Sure Peter. What ever you say.............

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How would replacing Saddam with Uday have changed anything?

Uday was just as bad as his old man.

[LongElegantLegs]

"Though it has not been reported until now, Uday Hussein was the biggest proponent of regime change inside Iraq," Arnett wrote.

When Bush wanted regime change, it was a bad thing;

[Obadiah]

[Peter Arnett] says he gained access to Uday Hussein's inner circle.

And how did Baghdad gain this supposed access? Or was Arnett really a Fedayeen agent all along? Hmmm...

[Yo-Yo]

Or maybe worse. Uday thought Dad was going soft...

[sarasota]

Whether this is true or not, I've always found it curious that the sons and father were in separate locations when cornered. Appears their "loyals" weren't so loyal after all.

[NYCRebublican]

It's true. Baghdad Bob told me the story himself as the valiant Iraqi army was destroying the U.S. forces at the beginning of the war. Right about the time Arnett was admitting the US's feeble attempt at overthrowing Saddam was misjudged.

Arnett should get a job working for Al-Jazeera or one of those other propaganda stations.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

This Uday?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

And how did Baghdad gain this supposed access? Or was Arnett really a Fedayeen agent all along? Hmmm...

Sounds like we have an Iraqi 'Deep Throat' somewhere in Baghdad.

Bob Woodward must be proud.

[Eagle of Liberty]

Where's the BARF alert!

Geez!

First, I read a headline that Colorado College takes down DU and then I read this crap.

Maybe Uday told Michael Moore that he dreamt of a day where Iraqi kids would play with kites in the meadows.

FOR ARNET-THE-DUMB

FLASHBACKS -- This Iraqi man is receiving members of his family cut into pieces
and placed in six cotton bags.
These murders were approved by Annan and the UN for decades.

Baghdad - Iraqi Olympic Committee shows torture equipment
used by Uday before Iraq's liberation by America

In Baghdad, Iraq, an Iraqi Olympic Committee official
demonstrates a steel mask and other torture equipment at Al-Shaab Stadium, Saturday, July 24, 2004.
These torture devices were routinely used by Saddam Hussein's son, Uday,
to torture Olympic athletes whose performance failed to meet his expectations.
Only America stopped this torture. The mainstream media is silent.

[Eagle of Liberty]

According to Arnett, the oldest son of the Iraqi dictator had long been chafing under his father's iron fisted rule and blamed his father for the punishing international sanctions on the country.

Where's the proof, Arnett? Where's the proof?

[Archytekt]

Putz Arnett has no idea what he's talking about:

In that interview just days before Baghdad fell, he said the US war plan was failing. "Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces," he said

Interesting that the Agence France-Presse article ends two sentences earlier than this one:

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Uday and Qusay are eadday.

[wayoverontheright]

It's just so funny to watch the anti-war crowd flail away while trying to justify their opposition to the war.

EVEN IF proven true that Uday was about to depose Saddam, it only serves to provide evidence that THERE WAS NO BENIGN FACTION which had the ability to change the regime in Iraq.

In what way, Mr Arnett, would America have been safer with this proven psycho at the helm of Iraq?
