Can someone help me with quotes from the Fox guys about WMDs?
To wit, I seek the quotes from guys like Hannity, O'Reilly and maybe Rush to the effect that, if no WMDs are found, Bush should be impeached. I remember them, but cannot recall the context or the words, etc., and so my searches have come up empty. Many thanks in advance.

4. Bill O'Reilley: March 18, 2003
"If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush Administration again, all right?"

Maybe he'll tell me to stay off the left-wing websites in his little speech?

10. That picture is incredible!
Your Arabic McDonald's picture- I copied and sent to friends- wow is that cool. And, sadly, so very true.

5. Try this link for O'Reilly
http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/entertainers/pundits/bill-oreilly/

It is fairly complete, and there is a section showing showing O'Reilly calling for action, then pushing his deadline back over and over again...

11. Fascinating website
What exactly is their mission?

I mean, I'm trying to figure out what Bill O'Reilly, Faces of Death, Fetish Maximus (home of "Girls with huge bazongas, Japanese bondage, chastity belts, grown people in diapers..."), and Famous Nudes have in common.

The Bill O'Reilly transcripts are pretty loathsome and nicely done. First time I ever read the whole disgraceful Glick interview. I guess O'Reilly deserves to be the mascot of a website called Rotten.com.


Looks like they have all the O'Reilly quotes you are looking for Will.

6. I remember that everyone but O'Reilly left an escape hatch
Hoist the ignoramus by his petard and let him swing with the breeze!

7. O'Reilly with his foot in his mouth
Edited on Sun Jan-04-04 04:34 PM by Generic Other
<snip> April 22: O'Reilly states that if no WMDs are found within a month from today, then that spells big trouble. O'Reilly promises to explore the issue a month later. On an earlier show he said that U.S. credibility would be "shot" if no WMDs were found. <snip>

http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/steinreich8.html

on edit: More...

<snip>May 22: O'Reilly fails to live up to his promise to make a big stink if no WMDs are found by today. In his Talking Points Memo he wonders why the U.S. has caught such informed Iraqis as Dr. Germ and Ms. Anthrax and has gotten no leads. He states that more time is needed . He ends his Memo saying Bush must candidly address the situation soon.

June 2: A video clip on Fox and Friends is shown with Bush in Poland claiming that "e found" weapons of mass destruction. His evidence? Two trailers found near Mosul that were supposedly used as mobile bioweapons labs.

June 4: O'Reilly's Talking Points Memo: O'Reilly says that the WMD issue has now been politicized . The war was a just war because there's now great progress between Palestinians and Israelis and that alone made the war worthwhile . Also the mass graves and other horrors discovered add to the case for war. The intelligence was either wrong or more time is needed to find the WMDs. <snip>
