03/31/2003 Archived Entry: "Peter Arnett: U.S. war plan has 'failed'"

HE'S GONE MAD...AGAIN: Former CNN reporter Peter Arnett appears on Iraqi television yesterday and tells the audience that the U.S. war plan has "failed."

"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."

How many times can this guy shill for the Iraqi government and still be employed?

Whoa, and the picture shows he hasn't aged gracefully since the last Gulf War.

Well well well. Out of respect for his report, he's been canned. This is a great follow-up to your blog, Steve.

I especially like at the end of the news items, Peter laughs about being left behind in Bagdad while the other CNN reporters got the boot. Ah yes, Peter, he who laughs last, laughs best.

Atleast someone still loves him. He has been picked up London's "Daily Mirror".

Not really a big shock.

Damn. Looks like I laughed too soon. Guess I won't be the last to laugh, after all. I should've known better.

Thanks for the update, Cody.
