Peter Arnett ( Takes credit for American Opposition to the War ) A MUST READ

3-30-2003

I AGREE.

May Arnett's tongue fall out at God's earliest pleasure.

Peters idea of the perfect country:

"Arnett also said "clearly this is a city that is disciplined, the population is responsive to the government's requirements of discipline," CNNs article

I am from behind the Iron Curtain.

Communist Hungary was also a place where we had to be "responsive to to the government's requirements of discipline"

Journalist Peter Arnett reports from Baghdad on NBC television Friday, March 28, 2003. In an interview broadcast by Iraqi TV Sunday, March 30, Arnett said that the American-led coalition's first war plan had failed because of Iraq's resistance, and that strategists are 'trying to write another war plan.'

email Peter - Have a question for Peter Arnett?

Is that thread Breaking because it doesn't have a transcript?

Oh come on HLL, you know ours is not to question why, ours is to shut up and genuflect!

[clouda]

LOL!!

I agree with you about quitting cussing. This just isnt the day for it, and it wont be for a while. I am worse now than when I was first joining the military.

By the way folks, Peter Arnett and his anti-American vomit spew for Iraqi tv had a price. He was fired today.


He'll be back. Just like some type of raving social disease.

Well, Geraldo Rivera just got sent back to Kuwait because apparently, he was reporting tactical information. That's fine to send a reporter back if they pull a Geraldo, but for the safety of the troops, I think the element of surprise is muddled due to embedment. That's not to say that I haven't watched a lot of coverage but I'd rather not take a chance at all.

Bye, bye, Geraldo, for now. Bye, bye Arnett. That was a fast freep. We got the ball rolling IMO.

Do you know that I couldn't even get on this thread just now except to go to my comments? It appears this thread is flooded.

I URGE LURKERS TO REGISTER AT FREE REPUBLIC. You get your own profile page and can post your own material or journalist accounts such as this one and that's just the beginning...

cnn fired Arnett over a sarin gas fake story. It's all on this thread only back closer to the beginning. It's a complete account. You'll find it here above, if you haven't been told about it yet.

GOOD JOB getting the ball rolling on a Sunday night! That was a fast freep and left the Blixy Chix boycott in the dust. The Blixy Chix are even less than nothing than they were before.

It is clear that within the United States that there is growing challenge to Liberal Media and the conduct about the war.

And it is clear that our freeps here about the media bias in the war, and the resistance of the American people, are going back to the news divisions, and it helps those who oppose the media and challenge the policies to develop their arguments.

Now news divisions are reappraising the battlefield plan and delaying their coverage from Peter Arnett, for maybe a week. The first plan has failed because of freeper resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan.

"Here, here, sweetliberty! I'm with you! Also the musclebound, blondish guy covering CentCom for Fox (I forget his name, but he usually wears a light blue shirt, no jacket)."

Please get back to me when that name comes to you.

Good assessment of the liberal news media. They're all trying so hard to figuratively bring the POTUS down. It's a left wing conspiracy prelude to the 2004 pres election.

Arnett is a New Zealander

I'm sure you've been hit already for this completely erroneous statement, but just in case you question it, Arnett himself stated he's a US citizen in his mea (sorta) culpa today on the Today show.

Thanks! I just found out from Howlin on the LIVE War Thread Ping that Arnett is 'gone'. Does that mean he's A) Kicked out of Iraq? Or B) fired from PMSNBC or C) All the above ???

In ANY case. . . bump !

[unspun]

Good work, everyone, on the Arnett FReeping!

Now, let's lobby to have him ARRESTED!!!
