Well, to Affleck's credit, he didn't make a total ass out of himself. But he was still an ass.

I THINK HE SUPPORTED KERRY, BUT IN INTERVIEWS I SAW HE WAS COMPLETELY RESPECTFUL WIHT REGARD TO PRESIDENT BUSH...UNLESS SOMEONE ELSE SAW SOMETHING ELSE, I THINK IT OK TO DISAGREE WHEN IT IS DONE WITH RESPECT FOR OTHERS OPINIONS.

Affleck is a clueless. Hollyweird was using his (supposed, but I don't see it) "star-power." He's guilty by association for sure. That, and of being a dumb@ss.

O'REILLY: That's right. Now beside the tax issue, what is your biggest issue? What's really on your mind?

AFFLECK: Well, I think, you know, there has been a reduction in some veterans' benefits. About 500,000 people were cut from the medical services. And the Veterans Administration is going to lose, I'm told, $1 billion potentially if Bush is re-elected.

Some of those priorities bother me, but I also really feel that one of my bigger objections with Bush, besides the economy, which is my primary concern, is that, you know, I feel as though he behaved rashly. And I feel there's a lack of...

O'REILLY: In what way?

AFFLECK: In preemptively invading Iraq...

O'REILLY: All right.

AFFLECK: ...without assembling an international coalition. And I feel that if he really believed there were weapons of mass destruction, which he may well have, I really wish that as the president of the United States he would now turn to the American people and say you know what, I made a mistake and it was an honest mistake.

O'REILLY: OK.

AFFLECK: I was told there were weapons of mass destruction...

O'REILLY: Fair enough. We have advised the Bush administration to admit their mistakes as well. But you're President Affleck, OK?

AFFLECK: We're all in trouble.

O'REILLY: Listen, you're a bright guy. That could happen someday. The CIA says they got him. According to Bob Woodward, slam dunk, OK? The British intelligence MI-6 says he's got him. Vladimir Putin's intelligence says he's got them. OK? You just watched 3,000 Americans dead in the street because you, President Bush, didn't take enough action against Usama? You don't think that haunts the man? It haunts him.

AFFLECK: I'm sure it does.

O'REILLY: So you got a dictator who you think has got anthrax and everything else. You have France taking money from Saddam in Oil-for-Food. You know all about that?

AFFLECK: Yes, yes, of course.

O'REILLY: So of course you're going to make a move against Saddam, are you not?

AFFLECK: Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do is I'm going to go after the guy I know is responsible for September 11th. And I'm going to go into Afghanistan and I'm not going to leave until I get Usama.

O'REILLY: He's not there.

AFFLECK: He's diverted our resources from Afghanistan.

O'REILLY: He's in Pakistan. Are you going to violate Pakistan's sovereignty?

AFFLECK: No, I'm not going to violate...

O'REILLY: No, you're not.

AFFLECK: But we're not sure if he's in Afghanistan.

O'REILLY: We know where he is. He's up in northwestern Pakistan, OK? In order to get him, you've got to go into that country. And that means Musharraf could get overthrown by the fundamentalists. Life isn't easy. This is what I'm trying to get. All the Hollywood people…

AFFLECK: Yes.

O'REILLY: It's extremely difficult to fight this war. Mistakes are going to be made.

AFFLECK: I understand. I also think that — Saddam Hussein's Iraq is a Ba'athist, basically secular former puppet state of the Soviet Union. In fact, Usama bin Laden had vowed, was a sworn enemy of Saddam Hussein. So much that he had to release a tape later on saying it is OK to fight the Americans in Iraq. Now I know that they're the godless Communists, but now I'm sort of changing my tune. Everybody worth their salt knew that Saddam Hussein had no relationship with Al Qaeda.

O'REILLY: That's not true, though. Zarqawi, you know who he is, right?

AFFLECK: Sure, al-Zarqawi, sure.

O'REILLY: Right. He was living in Baghdad. So...

AFFLECK: But he's there now.

O'REILLY: No, he was there then. He got his leg treated after being hurt on the battlefield in Afghanistan. So they had nothing to do with 9/11.

AFFLECK: I think he's Jordanian or is he Lebanese?

O'REILLY: No, Zarqawi was an Al Qaeda operative living in Baghdad. I don't think you take the chance. But I want to tell you something.

AFFLECK: It's not an easy question. It isn't.

O'REILLY: You know, I want to tell you something. I respect you. I didn't know you before tonight. You come in. You answer the questions. You're not bomb-throwing. You're not a hater. And all Americans should applaud you. You're 30 years old.

AFFLECK: Well, thanks.

O'REILLY: You got a big future. And we appreciate it very much.

AFFLECK: Well, thank you for having me on your show. I enjoy watching. And it's an honor to be here.

O'REILLY: And tell your pinhead friends that I'm going to...

AFFLECK: That you're after them? Well...

O'REILLY: All right. Appreciate - Ben Affleck.
