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.

Oldie but goodie
During the Gulf War, Arnett covered Desert Storm for CNN from Baghdad, where Saddam gave him unprecedented assistance to make his reports, all of which turned out to be pro-Saddam in one way or another, the New Australian recalled.
After Saddam's defeat, Arnett regularly visited Iraq and was given extensive access to officials denied other reporters. Fellow journalists called him "Baghdad Pete."
If he cons his way back to Baghdad, he can expect to be welcomed back by his buddy Saddam with open arms.

Mr. "Baby Milk Factory" is at it again.
He looks like a middle-aged crazy man with that dyed black receding hair line.
What has he been doing the last 12 years? I mean besides getting cootier?

I would like to see his smug face on a FBI poster on the bulletin board at the post office.

To National Geographic:
You're reporter's treachery will prove you complicit, if you continue to retain him on your payroll. The dishonest, clintoneque spinning that MSNBC is airing regarding his treacherous comments during time of war need not be compounded by National Geographic continuing to support this man. His smarmy comments to give aid and encouragement to the enemy have the real potential to cause increased casualties among our Soldiers fighting in Iraq. Is that what National Geographic endorses?

Hey Arnett can you hear that....... it is the whistling sound of a BOMB. Gen Tommy Franks, "it seems one of our bombs landed a little off, sadly it seemed to hit the room where Peter Arnett happened to be staying. We are sorry for this accident (snicker) we will have to re-calibrate some of our bombs." I can dream can't I ? hehehehe

BTTT, I just fired my email off to NG and forwarded the information to a bunch of my close friends. This will be worldwide by Monday or Tuesday.

No. no no no. I cannot emphasize this enough. Do not ever waste your time calling main network switchboards, unless you're prepared to say, "So-and-So's office, please." Likewise, do not ever waste your time emailing generic dump boxes like "viewerservices@nbc.com", "dateline@nbc.com" etc. Always - ALWAYS - call and email specific human beings who you know for a fact have some level of responsibility for the topic at hand. In this case, emails and/or phone calls to Neil.Shapiro@nbc.com and Erik.Sorenson@nbc.com would be appropriate (both are in charge on MSNBC TV).

Gibson just pointed out that the ministry of truth building was hit shortly after Arnett's interview. He says there was probably no connection. I wonder if there was a message there.

Are any of the other media outlets covering this?....You would think that NBC/MSNBC/CNBC would have had this as an exclusive early today. Peter's "professional curtesy" should have been the big story for them. Instead it seems like Fox is the only one to be on it.
