- Ware got into a bit of trouble when CNN aired some footage he acquired of snipers targeting the U.S. military. People believed Ware was with the insurgents and stood by while they killed Americans. It got to the point where some members of Congress wanted all CNN reporters banned from Iraq. It was later proven that Ware was not with the insurgents in the video, but merely provided narration for it.

- Only two days after Ware's interview with Anderson Cooper detailing the four distinct wars being waged in Iraq, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates gave a Department of Defense briefing also describing the Iraq War as 4 simultaneous wars.

ADD QUOTES
- (Ware when asked what he thinks his chances for survival are in Iraq) Ware: I try not to think about that, Bill, and I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here so I don't dwell on that...In fact, I'm drinking now.

- (Ware stating what the U.S. military is saying about Iran) Ware: Essentially they paint the picture of an Iranian campaign where the Iranians are using the very tactics that America used against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, essentially using proxies to fight a war in a third country. That's what the military intelligence community is saying today.

- (Ware talking about the Iraqi population) Ware: Where once you could rely on the general population to at least watch your back, to alert you to what danger may be around you, you can no longer, be it out fear and intimidation or a dwindling in sympathy or empathy for us and our position.
