Bill O'Reilly for Iraq President

© 2006

O'REILLY: "Saddam was able to control Iraq, as you know, and defeat insurgencies against him. The new Iraqi government can do the same, but it needs to get much tougher."

O'Reilly suggested the Iraqi government "declare martial law in areas controlled by insurgents" and repeated his suggestion that Iraq should establish a policy of "shoot-on-sight curfews."

O'Reilly repeated his allegation that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) "is the reason that the three Al Qaeda suspects committed suicide" at Guantánamo Bay.

O'REILLY: The O'Reilly Factor is on. Tonight: two American soldiers brutally mutilated and murdered by terrorists in Iraq. How should the U.S. respond? We will name those we believe are helping the terrorists. The ACLU and the BBC head the list.

O'REILLY: "Talking Points" believes the Bush administration has to stop being defensive about waging war. At this point, the new Iraqi government should declare martial law in areas controlled by insurgents. That means anyone can be arrested and shoot-on-sight curfews.

Saddam was able to control Iraq, as you know, and defeat insurgencies against him. The new Iraqi government can do the same, but it needs to get much tougher.

The Bush administration also needs to begin challenging those who are helping the enemy. The ACLU, for example, opposes just about every anti-terror strategy. This organization should be exposed.

The BBC also helps the enemy by consistently slanting the Iraq war coverage and portraying the coalition as villains. The vile Air America Radio network does the same thing.

So, I don't understand, general, why we don't have martial law in Ramadi, why we don't have shoot-on-sight curfews, why we don't have action that basically says, look, we're going to shoot first and ask questions later because this is a war. And that's what you do in war. All right?

We didn't fight World War II this way. We didn't fight the Civil War this way or any other war except Vietnam. We're fighting the same way we fought in Vietnam, Colonel Hunt. You know it. You were there. OK?

We're not doing everything we can do to win, because we got The New York Times and all of these other people, every time we make a mistake, bang! There it is. And CNN is running with it. And we're the bad guy. It's got to stop. It's got to stop.

Apparently O'Reilly thinks having the tyrant Saddam's tactics are just the reason we disposed him by having the same tactics.

What a Moron.

Are our troops fighting for Saddam now?

Hey Bill why don't you go ahead and make Iraq the same place that we found it.
