So no soldiers on the ground where there could be resistance?

Just brilliant.

I agree with him - nothing against the effort, but what else can we do to set up their country? It seems as if the Iraquis are determined to live in chaos.

Oh, really, O reilly? How does he feel about Spain, where we still have boots on the ground in Cuba? How about St. Louis? How about Washington, D.C.?

Surrender now, Bill, avoid the rush.

Who will support him, when the guy with the knife comes for him?

O'Reilly said 'Arab' country, but I'll assume he generally is referring to Muslim countries. What if we became convinced that Iran had nuclear weapons, was planning to use them, and that air strikes would be insufficient to eliminate the threat. Is he absolutely ruling out the use of ground troops in such a situation?

Yes, no boots on the ground. Just Nukes.
Glass parking lot.

When it cools off go in for the oil.

I no longer watch FOX at Britt Hume's news show. O'reilly, Hannity and Colmes, and Greta are all TABLOID TV, not news.

O'Reilly is a Walter Cronkite wannabe.

Bill O'Reilly is all about Bill O'Reilly - whatever makes "news" is what he says.

I am so glad that BOR is not a General in the military

He'd get us all killed

For a number of years, I've been convinced that Iraq was our last "Hearts & Minds" war in that corner of the world. When we deal with Iran and Syria, we can stick with "Shock & Awe." It's not like anyone's going to love us anyways.

What's the exit strategy from Kosovo? Or Germany?

You would be right....Bill O'Reilly has flip-flopped on the Iraq War more than John F'n Kerry even thought about doing...

I saw his show through Clark...and a little of Morris.

For O'Reilly to have on CLARK as his "expert" on either the Iraq War OR the Haditha "scandal"...is a scandal of it's own.

O'Reilly knew exactly what Weasley Clark was going to say...and the ONLY good thing I can say about O'Reilly tonight..is that he originally agreed to not exploit this until the investigation WAS over...at least until today.

Clark was as bad as Murtha...just less hysterical sounding.

I am SO disgusted with the MSM (including Fox) right now..I better quit before I get banned.

And Waxley says to Bill, "I"m glad you've finally changed sides."

We have killed thousands of terrorist in Iraq. They have come and we have killed. That is one of the reasons we are there to weed them out. O'Reily is a horses ass and he goes with the flavor of the month.

O'Reilly has jumped on the Murtha bandwagon. He's an definitely un-watchable, relatively insignificant, self-absorbed dickweed anyway.

It is wrong to enter war without clear intentions to win. Political correctness has no place in a conflict of this stature.

I am certainly no authority on war or the military but the greatest army in the world against a 3rd world country should not have lasted this long nor had so many American deaths. It might not have been pretty and may have upset the world but, hey, we can never please the world anyway.

Innocents lose their lives in war. Being afraid to take out insurgent neighborhoods has cost us dearly....and will continue to.

O'Reilly goes through these mood swings. He went real negative about Iraq about a year ago, would have his military talking heads on...gloom, gloom, gloom

Now he's back negative again...it's been two weeks since he had his exclusive interview with Rumsfeld and now he's reduced to Wesley Clark.

We could use some good news on the ground. Capture someone, something the media can't ignore like everything else.
