Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.Turner ridiculed the need for a big U.S. military, insisting “China just wants to sell us shoes. They're not building landing craft to attack the United States,” and “even with our $500 billion military budget, we can't win in Iraq. We're being beaten by insurgents who don't even have any tanks.” After Rose pointed out the Iraqi insurgents “have a lot of roadside bombs that kill a lot of Americans” and wondered “where do you think they come from?”, Turner answered:
I think that they're patriots and that they don't like us because we've invaded their country and occupied it. I think if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing: we'd be bombing them too. Nobody wants to be invaded.

At some point Wednesday, video of the interview should be added to this page on the Charlie Rose Web site.
Turner's description of the Iraqi insurgents and terrorists who want to crush any freedom in Iraq as “patriots” is reminiscent of how NBC's Matt Lauer saw them back in 2004. The Wednesday, November 10, 2004 MRC CyberAlert article, “Lauer Equates George Washington's Rag Tag Army to Iraqi Insurgents,” recounted:
Streaming Real of that exchange. Or, downloadable Real video (775 KB), downloadable MP3 audio (175 KB).In a Tuesday Today segment with Lynne Cheney about her children's book on George Washington crossing the Delaware River, Matt Lauer referred to how Washington led "a rag-tag group, not well-fed, not well-clothed, completely under-equipped as compared to this great British army," and pivoted to Iraq: "Let me ask you to think about what is going on in Iraq today where the insurgents not well equipped, smaller in numbers, the greatest army in the world is their opposition. What's, what's the lesson?" Lauer argued that "the insurgents believe they're fighting for a cause as well. They don't believe any less than we believe." Cheney scolded him: "You're being awfully relativistic here. I mean, the insurgents are killing Iraqis by the hundreds, Iraqis by the thousands. It's not as though this is a matter between just 'on the one hand on the other hand.' We are on the side of freedom."
A couple of excerpts from Turner on the Tuesday, April 1 Charlie Rose on PBS, all apparently not April Fool's comments but what he really believes:
On what will happen if global warming is not addressed immediately:
On what he told the UN in a speech Tuesday:TED TURNER: Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state -- like Somalia or Sudan -- and living conditions will be intolerable. The droughts will be so bad there'll be no more corn grown. Not doing it is suicide. Just like dropping bombs on each other, nuclear weapons is suicide. We've got to stop doing the suicidal two things, which are hanging on to our nuclear weapons and after that we've got to stabilize the population. When I was born-
CHARLIE ROSE: So what's wrong with the population?
TURNER: We're too many people. That's why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff. If there were less people, they'd be using less stuff.
TED TURNER: I also said war doesn't make any sense anymore. And we need to cut the military budgets back.
ROSE: How much do you want to cut the military budgets back?
TURNER: Right now the U.S. is spending $500 billion a year on the military which is more than all 190 countries in the world put together. The two countries that the military-industrial complex and some of the politicians would like to demonize and make enemies are Russia and China. China just wants to sell us shoes. They're not building landing craft to attack the United States. And Russia wants to be our friends, too.
ROSE: Well, wait a minute. No, no, no.
TURNER: Well I know that because I spent time with the Chinese and Russians.ROSE: You're telling me the Chinese military budget is not increasing? Is that what you're saying?
TURNER: It might increase, but you know how big it is compared to ours? It's one 20th what ours is and so is the Russian military budget. Those are not credible expenditures. However, even with our $500 billion military budget, we can't win in Iraq. We're being beaten by insurgents who don't even have any tanks, they don't have a headquarters, they don't have a Pentagon. We don't even know if they have any Generals.
ROSE: They have a lot of roadside bombs that kill a lot of Americans.
TURNER: Well, that's right. That's exactly right.
ROSE: And where do you think they come from?
TURNER: I think that they're patriots and that they don't like us because we've invaded their country and occupied it. I think if the Iraqis were in Washington, D.C., we'd be doing the same thing: we'd be bombing them too. Nobody wants to be invaded.
ROSE: Nobody likes an occupying force, or to be occupied.
TURNER: That's right. It's gotten to be -- it's passe. You know, it's time to move on. I mean, all we have to do is look at Vietnam. In Vietnam, we killed three million Vietnamese. They never attacked us, we attacked them. It was another one of these preemptive wars like the war in Iraq. And we lost 50,000. They lost three million. That's like 60 for one. But at the end of 18 years we left and the Vietnamese were there.
I'm just so glad, because I think about it a lot, that the Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese, didn't give us an ultimatum that we couldn't leave Vietnam until we signed a decoration of surrender, you know, so they could get that on tape just like the Japanese surrendered on the Missouri.Recent previous NewsBusters posts about Turner's far-out views:
ROSE: We made them sign a declaration of surrender.
TURNER: Yeah, but we surrendered and then we could go home. We couldn't go home. What if the Iraqis, the insurgents say that: we're not going to let you leave until you sign a surrender document, we just want the mighty United States. I mean, that's how ridiculous the whole situation is.
ROSE: But where does this, where did this idea come from?
TURNER: I think a lot. I spend a lot of time thinking. And I hope that's not a sin. And let me tell you another one, another story: We're not the only superpower that's being beaten by a third world country that doesn't have a single airplane. The Russians got beat, too.
ROSE: In Afghanistan.
TURNER: That's exactly right.
ROSE: With whose help?
TURNER: Well, we were helping Osma bin Laden, we were backing him that time.
ROSE: The Mujahidin.
TURNER: Right.

And they looked like they meant the truth. I mean, you know, just because somebody’s done something wrong in the past doesn’t mean they can’t do right in the future or the present.

April 3, 2008 - 06:45 ET by ricardo4maxThanks for a great post. My feelings exactly. Left wing liberal wackos keep changing the dates and the rules as they go along. They think it is harder to hit a moving target.
I am constantly amazed at the statements and comments that spew forth from the mouths of the liberal left. Can they not hear themselves speak? Don't they have any self-respect or pride? They will do or say anything, regardless of how incorrect, far-fetched or stupid it may sound, as long as they think it justifies their myopic socialist slant on society while logical and sane Americans just shake their heads and wonder. How much longer can the drive by media pretend it ain't so?

Huh
April 2, 2008 - 02:45 ET by jmad627Is it me or has this man completely lost his mind? He says that he spends a lot of time thinking, my God what a scary thought. You know whenever one thinks ignorance/arrogance on the left has reached titanic heights, Ted, the mouth of the south, Turner brings it to new levels. It just goes to show me that despite how much money someone has it doesn't mean that can't be idiotic. The one word that seems to come to my mind about Turner is TRAITOR!!
Heck Charlie Rose even seems to be incredulous.

http://www.friendsof...
Lyall Watson stole the idea . . . sort of.
April 2, 2008 - 14:13 ET by bioteachedJonathan Swift first proposed the idea of cannibalism to solve problems in his satirical essay "A Modest Proposal . . ." written in 1729. In this he proposed that the poor could solve their problem of being poor by selling their babies to the rich as a source of food. Of course, this is not exactly the same idea as proposed by Lyall Watson, but is similar and would serve the same function.
On that note, that was a nice catch acadial!

April 2, 2008 - 08:40 ET by LCT688Poor Ted is suffering from a combination of alcohol induced dementia and serious delusions of godhood. Like so many others of the liberal super rich elite he has no concept of how the rest of us live and actually resent that the world does not operate in accordane with the world as Ted Turner sees it.
As more and more evidence comes out that the whole AGW hoax is just bad science being manipulate for political purposes we can expect that the propaganda will become more shrill and extreme, hence the latest Ted Turner oral diarrihea.

Alright, following that line of logic, then we have been occupying Germany, Japan, South Korea, Guam, the Phillipines and, let's not forget, Bosnia for years. But there isn't one peep of these places because our military presence there is the result of Democrat presidents. Mr. Turner obviously doesn't know which end of an M-16 is the business end much less military tactics and strategy. And for one who owns a news network, it is apparent that he has not spent one minute utilizing his networks vast resources to research some history.

4) Even though they made their success from the liberty and freedom of capitalism, denounce it at every turn?

TJ and corporations
April 2, 2008 - 15:46 ET by mbuelI should've rephrased that, "the majority", like the big names, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Etc.
Second... some of the stuff TJ says is right on. Like his defense of capitalism and free markets. Some of the other stuff he says like;
"Who am I going to vote for? You have to know what the choices are, which are not yet known.
In my value system where the good guys are libertarians and the bad guys are totalitarian, there are two bad guys--McCain and Hillary. I would vote against them for anybody else. For example, I'd vote for Obama."
Is nutty. Obama is just as Totalitarian as Hillary, and McCain even being a poor choice is MUCH better than the other two. If only for the simple reason he understands the global war on Islamic Terror.
Plus Obama is about as Anti Free market as a politician can get. How does he justify that?
You'd have to ask him, but I'd say
April 2, 2008 - 15:55 ET by sarcasmoProbably by looking at McCain's political history, which is questionable for a number of reasons we've all seen before.
Like me, TJ said up-front who his first choice was, and like me he's not thrilled with his current choices. And some folks, including me, think that McCain's wrong on the war -- see this very-experienced guy for why, even though that link is likely to infuriate some people here...Note: Saying McCain's wrong != saying either one of the Democrats is right, hence my frustration.

April 3, 2008 - 07:50 ET by LCT688You far overestimate. If each person were give one square meter we would all fit on the big island of Hawaii with room for a couple billion more.

You drink the Kool-Aid first Ted. Save the Planet! We'll all follow your lead. REALLY!
Mr. Turner is not...

I recall Turner was
April 2, 2008 - 16:14 ET by ahusserI recall Turner was absolutely sure that we were all going to die from "Nuclear Winter" after the nuclear war we were supposed to have, this was back in the 80's.
The sad part (if there is one) is not that he is insane (probably so) but the MSM continues to give him airtime to spout these profound nuggets of dung for what reasons I cannot fathom.
I also have a pet theory that liberals in reality do want these calamities they continue to fervently spout about come to pass and that billions of deaths would be welcome. That they, the elect and enlightened and sensitive minority, could be the wardens of a clean environmentally perfect, mother earth and live in total harmony with nature. Only possible with less humans on earth to muck everything up. An utopic fantasy that goes hand in hand with their political orientation and whereever put into effect in recent history has resulted in the deaths of millions. Communism and National Socialism are included in this utopic vision brought to their logical conclusions.
So this is what Mad Cow

Even cannibals wouldn't eat Crazy Train Turner.

I have long suspected Jane Fonda could drive a man nuts.

Ted "spends a lot of time thinking." With no equipment above
April 2, 2008 - 22:57 ET by daveinbocahis neck. Maybe he meant "I spend a lot of time drinking."
I remember when this unreformed alcoholic predicted in '96 that CNN would "squash Fox like a bug." He was obviously drunk when he said that back then.Looks like this atheist sh**head who threw Jane F. out of the house when she found Jesus is still raving batsh** ca-raaazy! Or still three sheets to windward. The only thing this moron could find is white powder that would clear up his "thinking."And last time I checked, Fox had three times the viewership of his Cable News & much more than his other news operation. He was lucky he bought the Cartoon Network to keep his financial head above water. Now that was something he could understand, as cartoons are what goes on between this loon's ears!OBTW, the grifter still hasn't paid that billion simoleans he promised the UN. What a fraud!!! Send this drunken clown to N. Korea and let him live there for a while. He's such a fool, he probably would enjoy it, if they kept the sauce coming!!!
Oh..that's right...forgot.
April 3, 2008 - 08:38 ET by claspurIt's easy to lapse with those two. (Jane)
Just figured Hanni-Jane left him because she got upset when He refused to drop the Tomahawk Chop gig at the Braves games?
Never forget when she was on Leno a few years ago....Leno reached-over (endearingly) and grasped her forearm; she recoiled back and snapped at him-sneering, "Don't you touch me!"
I fell out of my chair laughing at crazy-eyed crab. lmao
Poor Jay freaked-out......lol
What the hell is Turner talking about?
April 3, 2008 - 03:01 ET by mastersofdeceitPffft..... the Russians wish they could have had it this good in Afghanistan.
"And we try to convince the people about the US, about British. They came here to give you peace."
