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.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing the other day. The only way we'll drop our current strategy of taking painstaking care not to kill any civilians is if we absolutely have no other choice --- for instance, if our troops would be in serious danger if we don't.
Savage called for us annihilate China with nukes during the (mini) crisis when they held one of our planes and crew (a year or so ago). That's when I knew for sure he was completely out of his mind.
""Hope his weenie career goes up in blazes"
I know. I'm bad."
I hope his weenie falls off.
I guess that makes me bad, too. ;o)
First, may he be infested with a thousand camel fleas.
This kind of media propoganda drumming in the ears of "the home of the brave," has had, and will continue to have a huge effect in the deliberate campaign to make this the home of the gelded!!!
Look what the "PC" campaign has done already with America's young women being taken POW in Arabic countries that routinely and ritually abuse women as a way of life!!!
If America is no longer "the home of the brave," it cannot last long as "the land of the free!" This nation has already lost a lot of the character it had when I was born, shortly before Pearl Harbor.
Can you name one singel thing that has had more influence on the American way of life than TeeeeeVeeeeee???
No, no, Carolina. That's "May he be blessed with the fleas of a thousand camels."
Oh, well, that's even better.
Then, may he get "blowed up real good"!
