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

3-30-2003

[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.

John Gibson is pretty ticked off about this, and with good reason.

TREASON IS THE REASON!

This will make your blood boil. I wish you could have seen his smug face taking credit for opposition to the war.

My letter to NG...

Sirs,

I cannot overemphasize my extreme distress at the "interview" Peter Arnett gave to Iraqi TV today.

Not only was it inappropriate for Mr. Arnett to express his personal opinions in the interview to the ENEMY, but he also MISREPRESENTED the truth. He said that questions were being raised about the President's policy with the war. ALL the major news organizations have had to report that there polling information has shown support of the president and his policy regarding Iraq and the war have INCREASED. It is difficult to imagine a rationale for passing on this kind of "encouragement" to an enemy dedicated to killing American soldiers by any means at it's disposal. This could lead to a continuation of the deaths of both coalition AND Iraqi soldiers.

I suggest the proper action for National Geographic and MSNBC would be an immediate withdrawal of Mr. Arnett from Baghdad and the termination of his employment.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Can you imagine that this putz is saying that his reports are responsible for the Pentagon's war plans!!!!!

I wanted to crawl through the TV and choke him until he turned blue.

Another thread about this with links to National Geographic just got pulled (guess it was a duplicate). At any rate, I've been a subscriber to NG for over 15 years. I am going to write them tonight and tell them that I will be cancelling my subscription if they do not immediately fire the dirtbag Peter Arnett.

Is Arnett a citizen of the U.S.? If so, he should be brought up on treason charges. If not, he should have his passport to enter the U.S. revoked.

Write MSNBC and National Geographic. This kind of thing is simply beyond the pale.

I suspect Bill O'Reilly will take off after Arnett and National Geographic. This is the kind of thing he's good at.

He wants us to give him a standing O? The bombings must've killed off whatever brain cells he had left.

This is a clear case for revoking Arenot's citizenship and disowning him as a member of this nation ... at the very least. Personally, I would try the treasonous bastard and throw him in prison for the rest of his miserable life. I'm one guy he better never meet face to face.
