Saddam Hussein had NOTHING TO DO WITH AL-QAEDA??? Is this guy from the same dimension as I am??
"And as I consequence, we ended up misdirecting our resources."
What a load.
"They're all part of various terrorist networks that we have to sit down and destroy..."
OK, so it WAS a good thing we went into Iraq...
"But they may not all be part and parcel of the same ideology."
So they are DIFFERENT terrorists that we have to destroy, but we shouldn't have "misdirected" our resources by... destroying them.
I'm getting a headache.
Moving on:
Later O'Reilly asks Hussein if he'd prepare for a military option against Iran. His response?
After much stumbling, muttering and what sounded like choking on a chicken bone, he threw out a Democratic talking point... very quotable. O'Reilly called BS. He finally managed this: "It's a secret. I can't tell you because it's a secret known only to me because I'm so very, very special and I might one day be president of the United States. But there is one thing I *can* tell you: Europe will save us. That's right. Europe could've saved us from Iran all along, but the last administration was too stupid to play nice with them."
He then said, "Sanctions! Sanction!"
That's right, Obama. Ahmadinejad is going to fold with sanctions and DIPlomacy. After all, he'd be insane to not want a peaceful solution in the long run. And we all know he's not an egomaniacal dictator who wants to summon the true Messiah by starting WWIII. Right
O'Reilly would do well on a tough question or call him on some BS, then fold like a cheap napkin and didn't follow up on anything.
I have no hope for Hussein. He's NOT going to be a strong leader. He's a childish ideologist and not a realist. And that naive attitude is dangerous in today's world.
“I can’t tell you because it’s a secret”
That’s right, I forgot about that, considering that it was buried in a mound of jibber-jabber. It could have sounded like Obama was saying that he doesn’t want to lose the element of surprise. But to me, he answered the Iran question like a conservative Sumpreme Court candidate when the Senate Committee asks him how he’ll decide an abortion case. “I’ll decide that case on its merits when the time comes.”
