Support for War Dwindling to Five Guys Named 'Cletus'

Those familiar with the wonderful world of neo-conservative-entertainment-masqerading-as-fact that is FOX (all-caps theirs) News may be familiar with “The O’Reilly Factor”; the op-ed segment that's hosted by notorious Republican mouthpiece Bill O’Reilly when he’s not, say, allegedly sexually harassing his co-workers (settled out of court for undisclosed sum – Thanks, Uncle Rupe).

You may also remember Bill from such films as ‘Outfoxed’, where he was famously shown telling the anti-war son of a 9/11 victim to “shut up”, and later threatening to hit him.

Well, while I was casually perusing “The O’Reilly Factor” webpage (taking time out from such other pleasurable activities as forcing teaspoons into my anus), I noticed that the ol’ boy’s changed his tune on Iraq some:

THEN: On February 26, 2003 he said:

Once the war against Saddam Hussein begins, we expect every American to support our military, and if you can't do that, just shut up. Americans, and indeed our foreign allies who actively work against our military once the war is underway, will be considered enemies of the state by me.

NOW:

But Iraq should be a lesson learned. We cannot ever again put American boots on the ground in a hostile Arab country. Iraq was an optional war. There will always be or there were other ways, I should say, of removing Saddam.

Bill O'Reilly is the political equivalent of Annabel Chong. Anybody who disagrees with me should SHUT UP.
