December 21, 2006 - “Tokyo Rose” O’Reilly attends "highest level briefings" then tips off Iraqi insurgency
On yesterday’s Radio Factor, while discussing George W. Bush’s stagnant poll numbers, Bill
put on his leisure suit and Hai-Karate and regaled us with his latest top-secret spy adventures.
It all sounded a bit like a speed-dating riff gone bad:
“The president’s approval ratings are not likely to get any better soon, he’s going to stay
around 30 percent, 35 percent, until there is a demonstrable win in the war on terror. You
know, if they got bin Laden, he shoots up into the 40s. Okay? If Iraq, something dramatic
happens there—which may, by the way. I can’t tell you. A lot of the stuff that was told to me
when I was in Iraq last week was off the record. But I got to tell you they gave me enormous
access. I was stunned at how much access they gave me. I mean, I sat in at the highest-
level briefings. I think they liked me. I don’t think they would have let most journalists do
that. But it was all off the record and I agreed to that. But it was fascinating to see it. So I
think there’s going to be in the next—not before Christmas but shortly after the New Year
there’s going to be some dramatic action in Iraq. I believe that’s going to happen.”
Yeah sure, Bill. Say, did they say anything about the midnight snipe hunt they want to take you
on in Fallujah?
Seriously, if Bill O’Reilly is sitting in on high-level military meetings, then the Pentagon really is
FUBAR. They might as well let Leeza Gibbons carry the Nuclear Football.
Think hard, Bill. What exactly were the admirals you met with wearing, because those very well
may have been Cher’s backup dancers.
Anyway, it’s nice to see that the Joint Chiefs’ trust in O’Reilly was well placed. He managed to
wait almost a week before tipping off the insurgents that something major was brewing.
