email Peter - Have a question for Peter Arnett? NBC suggests you, "Wish him safety in Bagdad."

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. "

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. "

Peter Arnett: Osama bin Laden and returning to Afghanistan

December 5, 2001 Posted: 2:50 PM EST (1950 GMT)

PETER ARNETT: I am Peter Arnett, I used to work for CNN, and now I'm an independent journalist. I'm going to Afghanistan soon, and I want to say hello to everyone!

CNN: What were your impressions of Osama bin Laden in March, 1997 when you interviewed him? Back then, how much of a threat was he considered to be?

ARNETT: He was a very impressive individual, well over six feet tall. He walked into the interview wearing a camouflage jacket, and carrying an AK-47 machine gun. I had never before interviewed anyone under those circumstances. He spent one hour spelling out his dream of changing the Arab world, and his first action would be to expel all American troops and business and cultural influences. And then he would transform the Arab world into what Afghanistan was then becoming under the Taliban, which was a very primitive Islamic society.

U.S. investigative agencies by 1997 had figured that bin Laden was a major potential threat. He had not at that point established al Qaeda, but had been active in fomenting unrest and attracting young Arab people to rebel against their government. This caused the U.S. to persuade the Sudan government to expel him. So he went to Afghanistan, and most thought he was well out of the way, because Afghanistan is a long way from anywhere.

CHAT PARTICIPANT: Peter, if you could interview Bin Laden right now, what would you most want to ask him?

ARNETT: I would ask him: does he realize that by attacking the World Trade Center and by attacking the Pentagon he would in fact destroy himself and his organization? Now that is the same question I asked Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War, when I was covering it for CNN. I asked him the same question: did he realize he had made a mistake by not withdrawing from Kuwait at the insistence of the coalition? Now, Saddam Hussein said, "I don't care of the consequences, Allah is beside me in this struggle." I get the impression that Osama bin Laden would answer the same, if I asked him if he had gone too far this time.

CHAT PARTICIPANT: Mr Arnett, could Osama bin Laden be well out of Afghanistan by now? If yes, what'll be the subsequent strategy to find him?

ARNETT: I get the impression that he is still in Afghanistan at this point, but I realize that he could leave Afghanistan any time, through Pakistan's tribal areas, without immediate detection. These are wild mountain areas, and bin Laden's supporters know them well. On the other hand, if he leaves Afghanistan, no country in the world will welcome him, and he will be on the run for the rest of his life.

CHAT PARTICIPANT: Based on your understanding of the man, what would have to happen for bin Laden to stop his terrorist activities and training of other terrorists?

ARNETT: Nothing short of capture and permanent incarceration or death. This is a man who has an apocalyptic vision about violent change, not only in the Arab world, but the whole Islamic world, which includes Indonesia and the Philippines. He will not change his stripes under any circumstances.

THE “COME-BACK KID” PETER ARNETT TRIUMPHS FOR NBC

COVERAGE OF BAGHDAD ATTACK “BLOWS AWAY” COMPETITION

Peter Arnett, Live from Baghdad

Peter Arnett: Iraq has always been off limits in many areas, more so than a western country, so it’s almost impossible to get access to military facilities. Interestingly enough, as these new series of UN inspections have begun, the media has been able to get into military localities after the inspectors have been in because the Iraqis have decreed that news people can go where the inspectors go. So you do get access now to some areas that were totally off limits a few years ago. But overall you have to negotiate with the Iraqis to get anywhere. They argue that the country is in a state of national security because they’ve been at war with the U.S. they say, since January 16, 1991 when the Gulf War started and they feel that they have every right to restrict journalists for security measures.

Having said that, we’ve been here 3-1/2 weeks with the National Geographic Explorer team and we’ve got access to many aspects of society. We’ve interviewed a major sports figure, we’ve been to his house, we’ve watched him play ball, we’ve interviewed a student and went to her home. We’ve been to visit Tariq Aziz, the deputy prime minister. We’ve been to the old front lines south of Bashra, we’ve seen lots of destroyed tanks which are still there from the first Gulf War. We’ve been to a major refinery in Baghdad, talked to the manager who expressed his fears about future bombings. We’ve been by a huge oil pumping area. So if you’re patient, you can really get access to a considerable amount of what journalists are interested in here. Really, patience is a virtue in Iraq.

Nice find - very nice!

Arnett is welcome in Baghdad anytime - they have a special suite (camels included) prepared for him all the time . .

[Libloather]

Fox News just played back some Arnett comments made on Iraqi TV. Peter has flipped out.

(Say, have you two met?)

[Happy2BMe]

Arnett graduated from the same military academy his cousin Beel Clintoon hailed from . .

Bill Clinton's Lies and Promises - Did He Cause 9/11/01?

QUESTION: If Arnett is so eager to report the truth, why hasn't he done so on Bill Clinton!?

The Military Legacy of B.J. Clinton

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be alive today.
