ELON, N.C. -- Former CBS news anchorman Walter Cronkite called President George W. Bush "grossly arrogant" for invading Iraq without the approval of the United Nations.

Walter Cronkite appeared Tuesday at Elon University for a news conference and a taped conversation with David Gergen, a former presidential adviser.

[Gefreiter]

For all his achievements, it must be borne in mind that Cronkite is about 152 years old and cannot perceive the modern world. His eyes are MANY decades old, and can see only the old.

The modern UN cannot be trusted with real repsonsibility for security matters. Period.

And it's not arrogant. "Arrogant" means to exaggerate one's own worth or importance in an overbearing manner or through presumptuous claim. The US doesn't exaggerate anything...we are that strong and that willing to kick off in your a--.

The last inauguration he covered he could not even remember the name of the new president...

[oldironsides]

The memories of Cronkite on a sailboat with Bill and Hillary Clinton are a reminder as to just what type of
person Cronkite admires.

"Dwindling viewership has led to budget cuts in news departments and less editorial control.

Who did he say was arrogant.

Can you find out Cronkite's e-mail address?

To which of our Presidents did this man provide advice?

Well, Walter, as a working, tax-paying and voting U.S. citizen, I don't seem to recall anyhting in the United States Constitution that mentions us getting "the approval of the United Nations" for anything since we are a republic and a sovereign nation. And where were you, Walter, when your little yachting buddy was bombing Iraq, invading Kosovo, getting U.S. troops killed in Mogadishu and bombing aspirin factories??????????????

Freeing the Iraqis is arrogant. The free Iraqis are arrogant according to leftist media who are continuing this war on the side of Saddam at home.

Dear Walter Crankcase:

Go change your oil. What you're using evidently has sand in it.

Or is the sand in your craw, Crankcase?

'The 86-year-old said the proliferation of cable news channels has advantages, but has harmed CBS, ABC and NBC.'

What does he mean - "but"?

So What! That means the leftist elite no longer can control what the news is. Cronkite is a legend in his own mind.

[Semper Paratus]

Cronkite postings should be prefaced as

OLD FART ALERT
