Here is video of Bill O'Reilly last night where he forgot he was on Live TV as he did a promo for an upcoming segment. He had just finished talking to Monica Crowley and Alan Colmes and was trying to tease a segment on whether President Bush deliberately allowed "Osama bin Laden" to escape from Tora Bora. But he got mixed up and started to say "Obama" instead of "Osama." He caught himself, and then said - "I’m going to have to cut that again."
But he didn't get a do-over, because he was Live. . . . (VIDEO)

“F*** it! We’ll do it live! Er, we are live?”
I thought it was Clinton who passed on the opportunity to off Bin Laden? (Golfing at the time?)
He was with Tiger Woods and Monica at the time.
Obama is the East African Arabic variant of Osama/Usama.
There was a news report a few nights ago that we had Bin Laden cornered but that Rumsfeld decided not to take him down. Shortly thereafter BL slipped in to Pakistan.
I haven’t heard any more since that report. Don’t know if it’s true. If it is, I just don’t understand what the hell he was thinking.
Sounds like bullshit to me. What channel did you hear that on? CNN?
Perhaps Rumsfeld will clear things up with a statement.
Read “Kill Bin Laden” written by someone who was there. I believe the politicians mettled too much but in the end it was their (politicians) typical incompetence, not a deliberate effort, that let Bin Laden slip away. America’s soldiers know how to win if these idiots would just get out of the way.
Let me get this straight.
In September 2001, President Bush told the Taliban to turn over bin Laden or else.
They didn’t turn him over, so we went to war.
It doesn’t make sense for Rumsfeld to turn down bin Laden (if that indeed happened) when he knew that’s what his boss (Pres. Bush) wanted.
O’Reilly had his own empty hot air balloon land didn’t he. He can’t even suck his thumb without mistakenly sticking it up his nose.
No. It was radio but I don’t remember what station I listening to....probably KFI in LA. I think the news comes from CBS.
Here’s a link to the story....

I’ve already seen Rummy’s response if this is the story. It’s been posted recently.
Consider the source. If you try to post an article from rawstory.com you will get a message saying “Sorry - Raw Story not welcome on FR.”
The rawstory is referencing John Kerry’s report

Freudian slip, Leprecaun?
But maybe he was thinking about loofahs.
Yes, I know. Probably the same report used in the news blip I heard.
