lol! I see Arnett is up to his old tricks again.

If you will recall, Arnett was fired...errr I mean...he 'retired' from CNN, because he fabricated an 'expose' about the US deliberately using nerve agents in Vietnam against US servicemen thought to be traitors for 'crossing-over' to the communist side. Arnett's reporting is and always has been heavily slanted and zealously critical of any and every thing the US military does.

I see Connie Chung got picked up by another network, too, after ruining her career. Well, I guess fabricating stories and violating journalist ethics really doesn't 'ruin' your career, you just get a vacation for a few years, and after the scandal blows over, are picked up by NBC.

I guess Al-Jazerra didn't have any open positions for Arnett.

I think he's kissing up so that the Iraqi officials let him stay, unlike the others from CNN or Fox.

Yeah, but he sure has a big opening, IN HIS ASS!!!! For the Iraqis to shove their arms up his ass and make him their little propaganda puppet and disinformation spreader. I can only hope that in the final push into Baghdad that he is in the wrong place at the right time and catches a couple of rounds in that fat head of his. :|

This is a repost. Here's a link to a lengthy conversation on this.

Hmm, I didn't see that thread. Was it hiding in the Middle East...ok, yep it was.

 

[dmcowen674]

He has had what he called Iraqi "watchers" near him at all times. They made him say that or would expel him.

I was going to comment on that. He's been doing the comb-over effect for the past several years. Along the way, his he's gotten balder and balder. From the looks of him in the latest picture, he's going to utilizing comb-overs until he has one strand of hair left.

Last week during the storm, he was broadcasting from a rooftop in Iraq. The wind and sand were much stronger forces than his 6 oz. of hair spray that he utilized as an attempt to keep his hair in place.

I really love when the media tries to play the role of "armchair general"

i saw him this morning on the today show. he was very apologetic, as well he should be! he knows he screwed up big time. the networks might give him a 2nd chance, but i wouldn't bet on it.

What he did is called sedition.

Hmm... can't you be executed for that during a time of declared war? Time to dust off some of those little used wartime laws, methinks.

That's what I am thinking also. I am afraid, though, he is gonna have some problems when we take over Baghdad.

I hope he is made to suffer for his blatant disregard for the safety of our (and coallition) troops.

No - you can not be executed for sedition.
