Peter Arnett ( Takes credit for American Opposition to the War ) A MUST READ
3-30-2003

JOHN GIBSON: "Peter Arnett, who is now employed as a correspondant by National Georgraphic Television, was interviewed by one of Iraq's Information Ministers on Iraq State TV.
He began interviewing Arnett about what is going on in Iraq and what is going on in America about the war.
What Peter Arnett said is that it is clear that is going on in the US is clear that there is a growing challange of Bush's conduct of the war and then Arnett seemed to take credit for that, by saying that HIS reports from Iraq are helping opposition grow. "
ARNETT:" It is clear that within the United States that there is growing challenge to President Bush and he conduct about the war. And it is clear that our reports here about the Iraqi civilian casualties in the war, and the resistance of the Iraqi forces, are going back to the United States, and it helps those who oppose the war and challenge the policies to develop their arguments. "
So Arnett did not acknowldege what is a Pentagon claim, that the Iraqi casualties could be from Iraqi missiles which are errant missiles which are falling back down on their own Iraqi population. But Arnett went on to claim credit for growing opposition in the United States, but claimed that the Pentagon's War is a failure.
ARNETT: "Now America is reappraising the battlefield plan and delaying the war, for maybe a week. The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan. "
Of course Peter Arnett is now working for the National Georgraphic program, he has a deal with NBC and appears on another cable network. He has been allowed to do whatever he wants. This while other news agencies have been kicked out of Iraq, including Fox News Channel and CNN. And in addition the Newsday Newspapers has two reporters missing and assumed to be held by authorities in Iraq, yet Peter Arnett is allowed to stay. I guess that we can come to our own conclusions, it appears that Peter Arnett is now operating in Iraq and doing Iraq great favors by his own estimation, in organizing opposition to the war, here in this country, in the United States by his reports, and by giving the Iraqis a growing sense of nationalism, because by his accounts, the initial war plan has failed, and the Iraqi opposition has sent the war planners back to the drawing board.
So there you have it, Peter Arnett in Iraq.

Except for the general rise of doofuses on the world stage... around the same time Clinton was blooming into the worst political leader in the history of the world, this guy was blossoming into a parallel sort of leader of the 4th estate.
It is a true testament to the extreme freedom of speech we allow here in the USA that this man is still alive, let alone still working in the media.

Savage may burst a blood vessel before tomorrow night on this one. Did you catch that women are calling themselves "Michaela" in honor of Michael Savage? I guess that's kind of like the dittohead thing. I like Savage.

If reporters in Bagdad have guns to their head to say this propaganda, then how can any network in good conscience air the reports from Bagdad which are simply the forced statements of hostages?
To: biss5577
hehe..He certainly didn't look under and duress (sp?) while spouting his anti-bush, anti-american crap, did he? I hope they use him as a human shield. :)
I'd also like to know why MSNBC blurred the word FRANCE on that battery they found in that "torture" room in that iraqi hospital. grrr, I can't stand MSNBC or CNN. I usually only watch FOX.

If there was ever any question that public demonstrations against our policy helps the enemy, this should end it...
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
Then he has openly admitted a connection to International A.N.S.W.E.R, and Workers World Party?? People like Dr. Sami Al-Arian? Fidel Castro and N. Korea supporters of the anti-war movement?
THAT is the EPITOMY of IGNORANCE!!
To: floriduh voter
I like him too. He doesn't mince words. We need more with that quality.

A good question would be how he has determined there is " a growing challenge of Bush's coduct of the war..."?
I wouldn't think he'd be commuting back and forth between Iraq and the US. So just how is Peter determining the current US sentiment?

Hil, Bill and Al are behind all of the negative spin. They want Al and Hil to be ready to go in 2003. I call it the vast left wing conspiracy.

"DEMOCRATIC CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMAN now on FOX says that maybe Arnett had a gun pointed at his head" I might be willing to buy that if it was Geraldo or Rick Levanthal, but Arnett just seems way too comfortable with what he is saying.
