O'Reilly, citing Gen. Tommy Franks, claimed Kerry was wrong on accurate criticism of Bush on Tora Bora

http://mediamatters.org/items/200410260005

FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly suggested that Senator John Kerry is being dishonest in criticizing President George W. Bush for relying too heavily on Afghan fighters during the December 2001 siege of Tora Bora. O'Reilly cited an October 19 op-ed by retired Army General Tommy Franks, in which Franks denied that the U.S. military "outsourced" crucial operations at Tora Bora to non-Americans, as Kerry has claimed.

But The Washington Post cited military experts who believe that excessive reliance on foreign fighters during the Tora Bora siege cost the United States its best chance to capture Osama bin Laden and other members of Al Qaeda. Moreover, Franks has motivations to defend U.S. actions at Tora Bora: Not only has he publicly endorsed Bush for reelection, but also, as commander-in-chief of United States Central Command from July 2000 to July 2003, Franks has faced scrutiny for his own tactical decisions at Tora Bora.

2. O'Lielly's just trying to get the heat off of himself

Sources say O'Lielly is talking to his accuser's lawyers about a settlement.

3. Gee, I thought Bill didn't trust the Bush administration anymore

But I suppose the Dild O'Reilly really prefers the company of liars, so he just can't quite help himself. It's really more sad than outrageous.

[Doosh]

4. Bug Eyed Tommy has his head planted firmly up Bush's ass

I wouldn't believe a word coming out of that repuke's mouth. He's a regular freeper creeper.

10. People will believe Kerry

Bush of course has no credibility, and Tommy Franks doesn't add much, he's just a creepy Bush supporter.

12. O'Reilly's just smart enough to fool the morans watching Fox,

but he's not smart enough to fool you or me. His bullshit "tell it like it is" shtick doesn't stand up when the "opposition" guests he claims to welcome to his show start to tell the truth.

13. O' who? isn't he history??

[Garbo 2004]

15. Maybe Franks "forgot" what he told Senator Graham. But Graham

didn't and responded to the op ed in the NYT. Discussed in another thread here as previously noted.

16. Yeah, that crazy Senator actually

takes notes. How novel!
