As a veteran, it is my hope that this war is over quickly with little or no loss of human life on EITHER side. In the meantime Mr Cronkite weighs in: Criticizing what he called the "arrogance" of President George W. Bush and his administration, retired CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite said war with Iraq could have unintended, dire consequences. Speaking Tuesday at a Drew University forum in Madison, N.J., Cronkite issued a stinging rebuke of Bush and those who believe the war will be a quick, smooth operation that ends with Saddam Hussein's ouster. He said the refusal of France and other traditional U.S. allies to support the administration's plans signaled something deeper, and more ominous, than a mere foreign-policy disagreement. "I look at our future as, I'm sorry, being very, very dark," Cronkite, 86, told a crowd of about 2,000. But Cronkite said it is important for Americans to support their troops. "The time has come to put all of our distaste aside," he said. "That is the duty we owe our soldiers, who had no role in deciding this course of action."
