CNN interview featuring Edward Peck, October 11, 2001

[HardWarrior]

"Why it is that all of these people hate us. It's not because of freedom. It's not because Britney Spears has a belly button or because we export hamburgers. They hate us because of things they see us doing to their part of the world that they definitely do not like."

Edward Peck, former US Ambassador to Iraq and deputy director of President Reagan's terrorism task force.

I've been an admirer of Mr. Peck every since I saw him endure what might be the worst interview in the history of TV, courtesy of Fox News' Linda Vester. He was way ahead of his time in terms of his views and knowledge on the subject of Iraq, not to mention dead right.

For some of us it's always been clear that Bush is completely insane.

 

[HardWarrior]

Agreed, but there was a time not very long ago where people were shouted down for voicing any concerns about Bush and what he was doing. What happened to Peck on Fox was a textbook case of what I mean.

Humanity is filled with hate looking for a place to dump it. Evil doesn't like "NO".

Peck, from the article:

he's not a nice guy, Saddam Hussein. But I think that the costs to our nation and its interests of taking him out are probably vastly exceeding anything we would gain by doing it.

Unless of course your representing "big oil" or Haliburton.
