Ted Turner, the outspoken billionaire philanthropist, made the following comments as he was recently being honored for promoting global understanding.
Refering to President Bush, Turner didn't mince words. "We can't afford the war in Iraq," Turner said. "This is a big waste of time.
"I wish we would say, 'We won and we are going home.' We shouldn't be there. Bombing isn't a way of changing people's minds. You do that with education."
Bush lacks a true understanding of the world, Turner said. "We had a president of the United States who had been out of the country but once before he was elected," he said.
On news coverage in America, the former head of CNN said, "There's an awful lot of superfluous news, the pervert of the day and someone that shot seven people at a fraternity party. Who needs it all?"
