Which post?

OR how about , pull out and if they want to fuck themselves up , let the rest of the world deal with it, at least our own boys and girls wouldn't be dying on a daily basis, if Iraq wants to implode let em.

See now thats my thinking, and I think that if that happened , and was to occur, the ball would be left for others, but that cant be. But what needs to be done , IMO and I'm not a political scientist, but if we pulled out, and had a good , no not good, a great body of truly knowledgeable and respected people( the real pioneering , forward thinking political scientist's who really have respect in the word community go and talk, yes talk. Maybe things could be averted instead if constant bloodshed. Thats just my thinking.

Unfortunately the rest of the world would just do nothing about it. Look the other way & pretend it is not a problem.

Look what is happening in Sudan.

We went from having a problem with Iraq, we ( USA)  along with some other countries got involved and we have a different problem now. We have to give the Iraqi Govt a fighting chance to handle things themselves in the future after we leave.

Saddam kept the different groups in line by killing 30,000 or so and that pretty much scared the shit out of them. Purely a crime against humanity, but nonetheless effective in controlling the country.

Sorry if I went off topic.

Speaking of O'Reilly, did anyone see him on Oprah (I saw it on youtube - not an Oprah watcher ok!! haha).

I have to say he didn't completely piss me off.  SOME, def not all, of what he said did make me think for a minute or two.  But most of the time he just sounded SO out of touch with todays world/reality.

The main reason I dislike him is b/c if you differ with him, he'll just say, "oh your'e a Bush Hater, you're a Fox News hater, you're an O'Reilly hater..."  instead of actually listening to the other side.

Look for it on youtube, its in 4 parts, kinda long but if you have nothing to do, go for it.

btw, his new term, "SP" is such a pathetic attempt at creating the new "L word".  Really lame.

Sounds like about a half a dozen people here..............

No matter whether you like him or not, you have to give him credit for being willing to go on these shows when he knows this type of sniping is gonna take place.  He is preety fearless in that regard.  He's been on Letterman and The Daily Show and other liberal outlets and has taken a pretty good  verbal beating from them.  That's way way more than you can say for some (actually the list is long) of the liberals that won't face O'reilly on his home court.

That being said, I watched the show and Letterman looked like a fool.  Whenever O'Reilly made a point, Letterman went straight to the snappy one-liners like the one SLC mentioned on the previous page.

In all fairness John Stewart went out of his way to keep it cool with OR. He even asked his audience "not to be like that" (Not exact words) when they began to boo him.

Brave though? LOL, please. He tried to treat Letterman as if he was on his show, and Letterman was not having any of that. His pretend bully tactics were not going to work on his show.

has nothing to do with bravery - its all about selling books.  he joked around (but he was being serious) that he'd sell at least another 100,000 books just from being on her show.  hes a douche, but hes not a dummy - its all about the $$$, not him being brave.

"You give Republicans a bad name with your hypocritical ranting and raving, name-calling and political and economical ignorance."

I have to disagree, they have done a pretty good job of that all on their own.

Yup, everyone that disagrees with your point of view has a self-interested purpose for expousing that point of view.  O Reilly calls out the left; you guys hate that, and thus hate him.  I don't agree with everything he says, but the criticism of  him in this thread just confirms this.

Cindy Sheehan is dishonoring her son who chose to re-enlist and fight that war.  He openly chose to go back there.  Sheehan went on a crusade using her son as the base.  O'Reilly has every right to criticize that.  Sheehan wasn't a simple grieving mom as you would like people to believe.

HAHAHA Then you're not reading all of my posts (or you choose to only read the ones that back up what you're saying - which I'm not even sure what that is). Berkeley you are sooo funny.  You always end your posts with a "i'm not a republican but..." or "I don't agree with everything he/she says but...".   PICK A SIDE for god's sake.  You're centrist/moderate posturing is so transparent.  All anyone has to do is read a few of your posts and they know where you stand on the political spectrum.  I've agreed with some of you guys on the topics we've discussed here and disagreed with a lot of it too, but at least I SAY where I stand - none of this wishy washy, "well, hes ok sometimes, but...."
