NBC fired him - because of war-hysterical public opinion.Originally posted by: Ornery
"Who says "supposed to"?
That would be NBC, who said, "the company was angered because Arnett gave the interview without permission and presented opinion as fact."
You anti-war people still trample on freedom of speech while shooting off your own mouths.

So Arnett has gone from a Pulitzer Prize when working for The Associated Press to working for CNN to MSNBC to The Daily Mirror to Al-Arabiya. BWAHAHAHA!!!! If this Saddam-groupie makes any more sudden career moves he's going to wind up writing an advice for the lovelorn column in Grit.
He now has multiple employers.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since being fired by NBC, Arnett has been hired by a private Belgian TV network, a state-run Greek television channel and The Daily Mirror of London . . .

After the war, his book will make him the big bucks, spend a few weeks at the top of the bestseller lists, he will be invited to give interviews on all the major talk shows all over the world and maybe bag another Pulitzer.
Not bad for a "Saddam groupie".
Hopefully he'll make all that money in the prison with cell mate named Bubba.

He is likely to be viewed as a "hero" by the rest of the world for abiding by his "conscience" to speak out what he felt was "truth". The US will fall "in-line" with that view AFTER the war and the HYSTERIA subsides . . .
. . . even you.
There is a PRECEDENT (long before most you you were born) - it's called the "war in Viet Nam". Same thing happened there and will happen again after this war is over.
I'd love to stay and discuss further but I gotta go . . . I'll check back tomorrow (I hope) . . . I also imagine this forum will SLOW to a CRAWL in preparation for the forum UPGRADE tomorrow morning.
You clearly are a pro-war bigot. Your opinion is the minority's (in the WORLD opinion). And I have to drop out of the forums completely ANYWAY, so I won't bother further with your idiotic assesments.Originally posted by: SlowSS

Truth??? You and Arnett wouldn't know the "Truth" if it bit on both of your cluess asses.
He became a news something journalists shouldn't be.
He also, told false assessment of war being a failure and that US citizens are revolting against Bush.
His remark essentially instilled confidence of Iraqi military to contiue to fight and end result could be death of more american soldiers.
BTW, you don't have any clue as to when I was born and what war (s) I've participated in, so stop being an idiot and assuming things.

See, that is the problem with you anti-war BIGOTS, you can't handle the truth. You are the one spewing clueless drivel as usual. Go ahead and quit, nobody cares.
I've lived a long while now and I don't remember any more unpleasant times than these. I'm not even interested in reading the sports pages. I hate everything about this war except that we're winning it.
You can't even be critical, either, without sounding unpatriotic. It's why Peter Arnett got fired by NBC for speaking on Iraqi television.
I'm patriotic but I wish our government would stop treating this war as if they had to sell it to us with slick advertising slogans.
The White House Web site puts out a bulletin about the war with this headline: OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM.
Come on, all we want is the news, not a sales pitch.
They called our bombing campaign against Baghdad "Shock and Awe."
After the UN refused to approve the war, our government put together a list of countries it said supported us. They called it a "coalition of the willing."
The generals don't talk about American soldiers. It's always "coalition forces."
It's as if there were no Americans there.
Reporters have been sucked into it, too.
The word makes it sound as though we're just a few countries short of having the whole world on our side, and that isn't true. Most of the world is against us. The Administration says 49 countries are part of the coalition. I see that Eritrea, Uganda and Iceland are on our side.
The fact is, though, we're in this thing with the British, who have 45,000 soldiers there, and the Australians, who have 2,000. That's it. The other 46 wish us well or let us fly bombers over their country. Big deal.
We've practically bribed some of them. We offered Turkey $15 billion to let our troops go through there but they refused. President Bush won't be sending the president of Turkey anything for his birthday this year.
There aren't any good wars, but this one is especially bad. We want to win it quickly without more death but we're grown-up people, too. The President, Rumsfeld and the generals ought to stop treating us like children. Tell us the truth. We can take it even when it's bad.
And the only real good news will be when this terrible time in American history is over.
