Bill O'Reilly Visits Troops In Baghdad



"Camp Striker dining facility becomes 'No-Spin Zone'" is the headline of a news release from the Public Affairs Office of the Multi-National Corps - Iraq.

Yes, Bill O'Reilly is in Iraq, one week after his colleague Sean Hannity toured the country with Donald Rumsfeld.

Yesterday, "O'Reilly visited the Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) and other units at the Baghdad base camp to thank them for their service."

"I came to see the Soldiers and say thanks to all the forces. That's our primary purpose over here," O'Reilly said. He autographed "Culture Warrior" hats and shirts and posed for photos with soldiers...

Related: On Thursday, John Kasich said O'Reilly would be back with a "major breaking news story" on Monday...

1. O really had to put up or shut up..

after Franken continually thrashed him for his "plastic" support. He's just now going over there, and the war started when?
I only wish that he could be locked out of the green zone where according to him everything's rosey. He could walk around and comment on some of the positive stories that the "liberal media" has ignored.

2. because it is obviously so much safer than DC or Detroit

[Tellurian]

7. Who was it that said..

O'Lielly shouldn't talk until he visits Iraq with bullets flying?

:rofl:

[XOKCowboy]

11. I think that GW, Laura, the twins, Cheney, Condi, Rummy all do a walking tour..

outside the Green Zone. Door to door. Saying Howdy and letting the people thank them for their newfound freedom. That seems to be the easiest way to prove that it's all the media's fault.

Of course then I woke up.

3. Saving the war for the neocons! What a corporate hack!

[The Count]

4. They really have to throw ANYTHING at this war now, don't they?

[Judi Lynn]

5. Haven't those people been through ENOUGH, already? Why force them to see O'Reilly without his

makeup?



No one should be put through that.

[heidiho]

6. Bringing falafels for the troops?

n/t

[butterfly77]

8. He will be back to his...

all spin zone, he will report to us all of the good news...Isn't it ironic that he and Al Franken are there at the same time... Shut up O'lielly!

[B Calm]

9. Was Bill O'Reilly ever in the military? Or is he just another republican

chicken hawk waving the flag to show his support to the troops?

[stanwyck]

10. No. Another macho sofa warrior

along with Rush, Sean, Newt, Cheney, and just about any blowhard you hear ranting about "surrender monkeys" and "cut and run."
The people who served don't talk like these chickenhawks. They know better.
O'Reilly lives inside some old John Wayne movie. He has no clue about real combat, sacrifice, or death.
He's the ultimate poser. And as the mother of a Marine facing a third tour next month, guys like O'Reilly makes me physically ill.

12. Somebody should have given him a gun

and shipped him out to the war zone. How I loathe this bastard.

[greenbriar]

13. couldn't let hannity out do him

I bet they can't stand each other

[originalpckelly]

14. How interesting, I can't stand either of them!

:wow:

[greenbriar]

15. me either

wish they both were gone

[jcrew2001]

16. Falafel

I cancelled my cable to save money, so I don't watch Mr. Falafel anymore.

However, I do watch Stewart/Colbert on the internets, which is good.

[Left Is Write]

17. I have to throw up now.

[Bombtrack]

18. lucky them

fucking creep

[niceypoo]

19. If he comes back without getting his teeth knocked out I'll be surprised...

...given his anti-social interpersonal skills and bullying mouth.
