Bill O'Reilly Going to Iraq |
|
(The Falafel Press) Talk show host Bill O'Reilly, who along with FoxNews, was the number one promoter of the war in Iraq, is going to air "The O'Reilly Factor" live in the midst of battle.
"We can't be intimidated by thugs," O'Reilly said. "Once we let them see fear, the terrorists win. So I will be moving my show to Iraq and report close and personal."
When asked if he would live in the Green Zone where it is safe, O'Reilly said, "Hell no. That would be an admission of fear. I will live on the streets with the folks and our troops. I will bring fair and balanced news of all that is going right with the war - hospital, school construction, infrastructure repair like electricity and water, and all else good in God's plan for Iraq."
O'Reilly stomped away when told many parts of Baghdad did not have electricity and he might not be able to set up the FoxNews equipment.

3. Good....Good place for him! |
|
Let that dumbass see what his cheerleading has enabled. Let him find some "good news" that's being "hid" by the MSM. What an idiot.

O'Liely will hunker down in the safest place possible.
I'll bet money he chickens out and his excuse will be that, given that Al Qaeda has him on their hit list (:rofl:) his presence would only endanger our soldiers.

He'll lay by the pool with a margarita, and say how wonderful and peaceful it all is. He might even retire there.
On edit: Maybe he's trying to hide from Olbermann.

15. How about a real picture of what's going wrong? |
|
I think the media is painting too rosy of a picture. We have death squads roaming the streets, Al Qaeda controlling Anbar Province, the Brits recently surrendered one of their bases to the militias, infrastucture is bad and getting worse...

16. How about these numbers |
|
6559 violent deaths in two months. July and August. That's over 100 violent deaths every day. Falafel boy is going into that? From the Chicago Tribune The UN reported that 3,009 people were killed in Iraq during August, a decrease from July's toll of 3,590. The report warned that although the numbers decreased at the beginning of the month, they rose again by month's end, especially in Baghdad. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0609210084sep21,1,1982130.story?coll=chi-newsnationworld-hed

19. Why doesn't he go to Darfur? |
|
I know that Nicholas Kristof will pay his way, and probably could afford some Blackwater jackboots to take care of him.
I believe that Kristof raised over 700,000 USD to take him on an educational adventure, and it would probably be safer than the green Zone...

20. Bill O'Reilly Going to Hawaii |
|
(The Falafel Press) America's greatest talk show host was on his way to the airport with his crew when the President called. Yes, President George W. Bush. When the President learned a national treasure as important as O'Reilly was going to Iraq, he had a top secret assignment for him.
Sources who wish to remain confidential due to the sensitive nature of this secret mission, have told the Falafel Press that due to "terrorist chatter" there is "grave concern" the terrorists are planing a strike in Hawaii.
"I hate to go," O'Reilly reportedly said, "but I must do my duty and obey orders. This is a serious war fought on many fronts. Even if the pinheads fail to realize it, this is WW III. God called me to Iraq, but our President, the President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the world, that President, said he needs me. How could I turn down the President of the United States of America, the most powerful nation in the world? God will have to wait."
Our usual sources are tight lipped, but we managed to learn a terrorist attack is most certainly imminent. One source was more specific: "They plan to poison Hawaiian falafels. Given O'Reilly's expertise in the area, our President could not think of a better man for the job."
