Michael Ware comes out and says what the president and many other conservatives have been saying for a while. I'm amazed it happened on CNN. This guy is no conservative either. If anything he leans left, but he seems very objective from everyhting I've seen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Ware

Michael Ware is an Australian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian) journalist reporting for CNN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN) as an international correspondent based in Baghdad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad). He joined CNN in May 2006, after five years with sister-publication Time Magazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Magazine). He gained early acclaim as one of the few reporters to establish contacts with the Kurdish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish) Peshmerga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshmerga) and the Iraqi insurgency (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurgency), thereby gaining insight to the opposition as the Western coalition forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_forces) entered the country. Those contacts have sometimes been controversial, as he was one of the first mainstream reporters to give voice to the opposition and his contacts provided him with videotapes of attacks on coalition forces, including the murder of four Blackwater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater) contractors; however, his numerous 'embeds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_journalist)' with American and British military forces have also been the focus of many of his reports as he continues to describe conditions on the ground for both military and civilians in Iraq.

Halfway through i was almost expecting the control room to 'accidently' loose the satellite feed.

That was somewhat of surprise to see.



Michael Ware has always seemed to be more of a realist more so then anything else IMHO and while I (personally) don't agree with some of his comments I do respect him and his view. As a reporter he has seen a lot more of whats going on in Iraq then most and he comes off as a more to the point kinda person with his reporting.

It's pretty obvious what setting a timetable does. It makes it obvious to the enemy when they need to lay-low until and when they need to put pressure on us. I admire this guy for having the courage to tell it like it is on a network as blatantly biased as CNN.

I've watched this guy before, never knew his name or his story. He does seem generally unbiased. Now getting that out of the way....

1) Does anyone else notice he moves around alot? I feel like he either has a medical condition or has a weird "camera presence" (if that's even a real phrase).
2) Crooked nose?


Sorry to be such a prick haha

It's not like the Democrats actually believe that time table will have no effect. They know full well of the consequences and will try to do it even if it be a embed reporter or active duty military personnel that tells them otherwise.

The political make believe in our congress is a real p*sser for me.

it's sad when people get recognition for saying the obvious. but at least someone's saying it (referring to the reporter)
