Pack it up boys. Time to go home. It was a good effort but we failed. Those Iraqis are just too tough for us. At least that's the word from noted journalist Peter Arnett, who said the the first U.S. war plan had failed due to Iraqi resistance during an interview he had with Iraqi TV.
Now one might wonder why the Iraqis have allowed Arnett to stay on in Baghdad while most Western journalists have been given the boot. According to Arnett:
He said the Iraqis allowed him to stay in Baghdad because they respect him.
"The Iraqis have let me stay because they see me as a fellow warrior," Arnett said. "They know I might not agree with them, but I've got their respect."
Yeah, that's it Peter. They respect you. Much the same way in which a carpenter respects his hammer.
