Remember how he tried to blame our troops for massive wrong doing when the Palestine Hotel got blasted?

This is why I can't take a steady diet of watch him. I know a fellow who grew up with O'Reilly, and he warned me from day one that O'Reilly is not a conservative. That O'Reilly takes a lot of shots at America that are not substantiated.

[My2Cents]

Funny. But that was a horrible movie. :-)

[My2Cents]

you haven't had an original thought since you were born.

And I suppose you haven't had a thought that wasn't judgmental.

[SuziQ]

Has this info been mentioned on NBC/CBS/ABC? They were so anxious to put the info out there that America was somehow complicit in the desctruction! I wonder if they'll be as forthcoming now that folks know more about the real situation.

Expert Thieves Took Artifacts, UNESCO Says .

I'm a student of history, which makes it all the more odd that I really don't give a rip about Korans that are destroyed. I guess I'm "intolerant," but I have little tolerance for a false religion that uses the sword as its principal evangelistic tool.

[ValenB4]

Yeah, you're a lousy student of history. Judging by the cult of personality that is your homepage, under different circumstantances directing your intolerance and exclusivity of truth in another direction, you may well have been a useful follower of Mohammad.

[My2Cents]

You don't know me, so your opinion matters not to me.

At the cost of how many irreplaceable American Marines??

Re O'Reilly:

In the 2000 campaign, I received the email accusing Hitlery of defending Black Panther murderers when at Yale.

[This has been the subject of David Horowitz, R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr. and others.]

I forwarded same to a long list, including O'Reilly.

How surprised was I to receive his lengthy and detailed--albeit unconvincing--refutation of the charge and his defense of Hitlery.

As that has been to date the only communique I have received from O'Reilly I mark him down as a snake.

[FreedomCalls]

Thanks for posting the exact wording of the Geneva Convention statute.

Here's how most of the liberal left thinks it is written:

Any High Contracting Party in occupation of the whole or part of the territory of another High Contracting Party shall as far as possible support prevent the competent national authorities of the occupied country in safeguarding and preserving from looting its cultural property.
