There aren’t many figures in U.S. media who have done more harm to the nation as a result of their incorrect, imbecilic and irrational platitudes than Fox News neocon fixture Bill O’Reilly. In case you forgot, Mr. O’Reilly was one of the most vocal supporters of the Iraq war, and was adamant in his conviction that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) as he beat the nightly war drums. The man is dangerous disgrace to his profession, the U.S. constitution and pretty much the human species. Only in America can a chicken-hawk like Mr. O’Reilly who has helped cause so much death and destruction still be on the air after having been so wrong on so many important issues.
First let’s remember this from 2004. From the New York Daily News:
Fox News flamethrower Bill O’Reilly shocked fans and foes alike yesterday by apologizing for accepting President Bush’s claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. “I’m sorry,” O’Reilly said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” in a stunning mea culpa. “I think all Americans should be concerned about this, for their families and themselves, that our intelligence isn’t as good as it should be,” he said. O’Reilly was one of the loudest voices calling for Saddam Hussein’s ouster at the “We report, You decide” network and called him a “killer with huge stocks of anthrax and other deadly weapons.
Fast forward a few years and apparently Bill has no problem accepting the claims of the current administration based on zero proof. The man simply never met a war he didn’t want to get involved in. Pretty easy when you never get your hands dirty.

THE US Congress is as Guilty if not more. They did more to inflame the public and Journalists alike with their beating of war drums. Both sides of the aisle may I add.
I am referencing the Bush War, not this current morass they want to put us in. I am still waiting for Kerry’s “definitive proof” ! Syria had so much of this crap stockpiled and probably all over the place. The insurgents could have as much access to the stuff as Assad. Who poisoned who? We may never know for sure.
Could there be anyone worse than Bill O’Reilly??
If you don’t trust what Kerry said with absolutely no proof, then you don’t trust you government. Good one Bill. That’s like saying if you are skeptical about your wife’s belief in magic healing crystals, then you don’t trust you wife. These generals are clearly patriots. Who the hell is Bill O’Reilly?
There were/are WMD in Iraq. Just ask someone who has been there and stop listening to the msm.
