He just told the iraqi information person that the US warplan failed and that his reports of civilian casualties are helping the war protests.Originally posted by: Bleep

Definitely not a safe occupation right now. I guess he is used to job hopping, but body bag dodging is a whole new game.Originally posted by: CJBongHit
"Baghdad Pete" is a tool of Iraq...pure and simple.
Well NBC is in between a rock and a hardplace on this one. When they threw out all the western reporters Peter Arnett was the only one left that was American and NBC cut a deal with him to report for them. It is obvious that they have made a huge mistake.As does NBC/MSNBC, who he is also reporting for

You scare me, man. How long before we actually start to see lynch mobs of angry patriots in the US, lynching anti-war people?

You sound like you have a problem with right-wing death squads.
Maybe "failed" was the wrong word for him to use, but I think anyone would agree that the US war plan is being adjusted due to the resistance being stronger than they anticipated."The first war plan has failed because of Iraqi resistance. Now they are trying to write another war plan," Arnett said. "Clearly, the American war planners misjudged the determination of the Iraqi forces."
No doubt that reports of Iraqi civilian casualties strengthens the case of anti-war protesters.Arnett said reports from Baghdad on civilians being killed are being shown in the United States, and "it helps those who oppose the war when you challenge the policy to develop their arguments."
