O'Reilly to Bush Administration: "Stop being defensive about waging war"

Private Kristian Menchaca of Houston and Private Thomas Tucker of Oregon were captured by terrorists in Iraq, hacked to death, their eyes gouged, their bodies defiled. This was payback for the death of Zarqawi. So now Americans must decide how to respond. I say Americans, because you and I have a stake in this. You and I must speak up so the murders of those two soldiers will not be in vain. "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. This may surprise you, but I don't consider dissenting from the Iraq War to be helping the enemy. Congressman Murtha, for example, is acting on his beliefs. He made a mistake by convicting the Marines in Haditha before the evidence was presented, but dissent makes America stronger.

Likewise, the left-wing editorial pages aren't helping the enemy. But last week, The New York Times allowed a suspected terrorist to write an op-ed piece saying he was tortured at Guantanamo Bay. However, The Times failed to tell its readers, the man's entire family, including his mother, were charged with terrorist activities and subsequently convicted. That kind of situation comes dangerously close to helping the enemy. The truth is the USA needs Guantanamo Bay. It needs martial law in Iraq. It needs to fight the terrorists even harder. They do not deserve anyone's sympathy.

Last week, I chastised Reverends Ted Haggard and Jim Wallace for signing an advertisement, urging the USA to stop torturing people. I told both men that torture is not policy, and that the enemy would use that ad against us. And so they have. The Egyptian newspaper al-Aram trumpeted the ad as an admission of torture. That kind of thing's got to stop. Reverends Haggard and Wallace did not mean to help the enemy, but they did. And so did Jimmy Carter. Americans must wise up here. We are fighting a vicious world-wide War on Terror. We need to be more aggressive, not less. Anyone who says we're the bad guys, who claims America is the cause of terror, who splatters every mistake we make on page one, but fails to emphasize why the heck we're fighting in the first place, all of those people must be challenged. No country can win a war against savages, unless harsh measures are employed. Let's hope the brutal ordeal of Privates Menchaca and Tucker will wake all of us up. And that's "The Memo."

Love it when chickenhawks talk about how we are fighting in Iraq. Waking up due to brutal murders bill. This veterans eyes are wide open and you continue to be a constitution hating, lying idiot. Go hire on at halliburton and drive a truck in Iraq. Be a man bill, stop spending so much time pretending to be one.

Bill Falafel fought the good war with his PEN!
He understands the seriousness of 'pen battles'.

You have more courage in your little finger than that blowhard will ever have. Too bad he has screeners for his callers-I'd love to hear you talk to him and watch him shrink in fear!

we can kill, torture, anyone we damn well please with impunity AND it should be illegal to even TALK ABOUT IT???
I might be for it, falafel Bill, if I could do it to you and also get away with it.

Why don't you just "shut up" & go along with it like you have all along?

articulate just "why the heck we're fighting in the first place".

or one of them any way.

I thought we were supposed to free the Iraqi people, not give them a new dictator. </sarcasm>

so brutality is ok, as long as it's on our side. God damn it, Bill - why do you hate freedom so? I'm serious. Like all of the other projections going on, I honestly feel people like O'Rielly and Coulter hate freedom and America.

Here's what the ACLU does:

The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty. We work daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Our job is to conserve America's original civic values: the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Why do they hate our liberties??

:freak:

before Iraq ended up with another Saddam. 3 years, 2 months.

Bill, you know "savages" are African niggers. Get your hatespeak down correctly. You DUMB FUCK.
