Peter Arnett ( Takes credit for American Opposition to the War ) A MUST READ
3-30-2003
Posted on 03/30/2003 3:16:09 PM PST by Hillary's Lovely Legs
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.

It would help enormously if someone with the time and skill could post at least two or three pertinent email links on each thread of 50 replies so we can keep banging the drums.
It's too hard to find the links when the thread gets this long. Thanks,

I wonder What are the odds are that Peter Arnett survives the war.I'm kind-of wondering if he's still alive today. He'd better dress like an Iraqi woman if he has any hope of escaping alive.

Upon hearing of Arnett's comments, I thought immediately of Lord Haw Haw.
I have a tree, do you have any rope?

"NBC put out a press release, basically standing by Arnett, saying he was just doing analysis."
Except it was false, and they (MSNBC and Arnett) knew it! That makes it a lie. That makes it treachery.

I would be more than happy to have this in Breaking News, since it seems to be the Big Story of the night.
I don't post in Breaking News because it's a sure fire way for it to get deleted.

Regarding Arnett, Moore, Sheen, Garafilo, Farrel, Lang, etc. You know what's sad? You could add all of their IQ's together, and the total sum in temperature couldn't boil water.

Leventhal, Greg Kelly and Ollie North have been the closest to the front lines from Fox. Ollie has reported two copters down since this started.

Crowley's the most fair and honest reporter CNN has.That's like saying that a particular baboon is the best looking one in the cage.
In otherwords, it doesn't mean very much at all.

There are very VERY few ads running on the cable channels at the moment that aren't in-house ads. In that case, we need to just hit GE and wait until we see advertisers on there. I will be patient about this FReep. I'm highly motivated and won't ever forget this.

I'm not surprised about Peter Arnett's comments. Peter Arnett, better known as "Baghdaddy" was against the Gulf war, and his reports were usually biased and sometimes flagrant lies.
