Not only was it stupid to go on Iraqi TV, but what he said was idiotic.
- He said our war plan failed. Hehehe....yeah, right.
- Iraqi opposition was suprising the heck out of us - yeah, what a great thing to say on Iraqi TV, which is a regime propoganda machine.
- That the Iraqi action is helping the opposition here in the US which is changing the way the gov't does things - gimme a break.
In short, he went on there and basically said what they wanted him to say. So, why would he go onto their airwaves at a time of war AND deliver the enemy line while doing it?
That was just stupid, and it ranks right up there with ego-maniac Geraldo getting kicked out of Iraq for divulging war planning on TV (another bright move

)
