Michael Ware on CNN, Refutting Rummys rosy picture of Iraq.

[spanone]

He's a Time Mag. correspondent.

Rumsfeld said the media isn't reporting on the positive aspects.

Saying Rumsfeld needs to go where the people live in fear every moment. He invited Rumsfeld to join them in the red zone.

Says the way the war is being fought right now, it can't be won.

1. he's the one Anderson Cooper had on the other night.

he said NO Iraqi troops are combat-ready on their own, and Wolfie actually confronted Sen Warner with that interview a few minutes later! Warner's response was telling. He didn't know what to say

couldn't believe it

[bahrbearian]

10. Actually if you could stay out of the fight wouldn't you..

Iraq had a pretty capable Army not to long ago.

2. Is Ware the guy

with really curly, greyish hair? I think he has a beard also.Looks like he should have a pipe & a sweater with leather patches?

[Gabi Hayes]

4. no.....Aussie-sounding...late thirtyish

on now

he's going to get killed if he doesn't watch it

7. He sounds like the guy

Stephanie Miller keeps playing bites from on her show.

"With all due respect to the president... " (cut to "You're A Lying Sack of Crap")

[Gabi Hayes]

8. is that today? hope so, as it's rerun in about an hour on Sirius

once I hear that jingle, I can't get it out

that IS the guy, btw.

I very well recall that retort

[JuniperLea]

12. No, sorry

That was yesterday. Funny as hell:)

[AussieDave]

11. He IS Australian - once with the Murdoch's News Limited

here in Australia. A fearless reporter who doesn't take unnecessary risks.

5. That is John What's-his-name from NYTimes

Roberts?

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

6. I always miss his name,

but he reports on the news hour with jim lehrer. he's been in iraq since day one I think.

[Armstead]

9. John Burns

different guy

[Strelnikov_]

3. Ware Is Very Brave, Very Crazy

Or, most likely, a little bit of both.

[choie]

13. Ware is a regular

on Morning Sedition. He was on with Mark and Marc about two weeks ago and said that he and a few other journalists met with Lieberman when he was in Iraq recently. Ware said while Lieberman was going on about the great things going on in Iraq, the journalists were looking at each other and saying either Lieberman is crazy and believes what he's saying or he's a liar. Ware said the journalists were saying that the Iraq Lieberman was talking about was unlike any country that they had ever been to. I think Ware is one of the few truth-tellers in the media.
