I've just read the reporter interview transcript - Yeah - I thought he said WEST - this place is full of loud mouth ignorant buffons, some of them who will say anything to put down ideas they don't like, isn't it?

BTW, the last item on the show is also interesting too - showing that the attitude of the US in inciting Iraqis to revolt against Saddam and then leaving them to their fate is not new - Laos shows that it has happened before.
