Arnett's reports go out on MSNBC, but he is actually with National Geographic Explorer.

Whoah...

I go to the CNN website and there's a story about Arnett's interview. In that story there's a link to the actual transcript of Arnett's interview. When I clicked on it, I got a '404' error that the page couldn't be found. I then go back to the story and hit refresh a couple of times..... and the link to the transcript was removed.

There's a link to a discussion of his interview on CNN's front page.
I didn't see the actual interview but if CNN's report is accurate, it could be a career ender for this bellybutton clown.

I remember him saying the US warplan failed due to the unexpected Iraq resistance and they are now trying to draw up a new warplan.

He also, and this is no ****, took credit, yes, took credit for all the oppostion to the war in the USA.  He said it was because of the reports he was sending back showing civilian casualties and the impressive Iraq resistance.

What an ass.  The scandal he was involved in about the reported, then proven false use of Sarin gas in Viet Nam wasnt enough, he now does this.  What an ass.

MSNBC site has a nice little "click to email your questions to Peter" button.

I couldn't resist.

Also went to their "contact us" page and dropped them a note at NBC HQ as well.

Seems my TV is busted... in fact all of them are... they don't pick up NBC sourced channels anymore.

I'm going to call a repair man before Christmas of 2010 though. I think.

Guess I'll have to watch the other 52 news source channels till then though.

He's the hanoi jane of the new millenium.
