Those guys were real deal American warriors and this arrogant blowhard says this:
CMD SGT MAJ ERIC HANEY: "There is a tremendous number of wantabes."
O'REILLY (Cuts in): "Look at the guys who got strung up in Falluja. Ya know? I mean, right, I mean, you get these guys, and then they think that they're macho men, and all of a sudden they're hanging from a bridge."

"Two Army veterans and a former Navy SEAL were among four American contractors killed in Iraq, their bodies mutilated and dragged through the streets...Jerko 'Jerry' Zovko, 32, Michael Teague, 38, and Scott Helvenston, 38, died with another civilian Wednesday after they were hit by rocket-propelled grenades in a rebel ambush. The victims worked for Blackwater Security Consulting, one of five subsidiaries of Blackwater USA based in North Carolina."
A SEAL and three Army Rangers!!!

O'Reilly should apologise.
Fox should post the transcript WITH the apology.
O'Reilly's constant attempts to appear objective belie the fact that he gets it so wrong.
He called Kerry "A big gun guy" (totally incorrect, Kerry is the most anti-gun Candidate in history).
He pooh poohed the swift boat vets even after the Kerry campaign conceded Christmas in Cambodia.
And now he calls a Navy Seal and 3 Army Rangers "wannabes".
O'Reilly just lost another viewer.

That logic means that Haney was assuming they were highly trained military men when he referred to them as 'wantabes'.
Besides your logic is also faulty because most contractors are NOT highly trained military men.

Oh boy. [shakes head]
Haney mentioned wantabes IN GENERAL!!!!
O'Really SPECIFIED the guys "Strung up in Fallujah" as EXAMPLES OF SAID WANTABES.
Besides THAT FACT, I don't care about Haney. Haney is not the pontificating POS claiming the moral high ground 24/7.
What's YOUR logic!? Haney agreed so it must be alright!? Haney brought it up so it not O'Really's fault!?
Do you have any data or links to support your assertion that "most contractors are NOT highly trained military men"?
Or do we just take your word for it?
Kinda like we were supposed to take your word that my transcription was wrong?
WTF?
Your boy finally got what he had coming to him. I’m so glad the POS is looking for a job. Too damn bad he’s still rich.
