Bill O'Reilly, combat veteran

http://patriotboy.blogspot.com/

"Dear Mr. O'Reilly,

In your latest column, you wrote that you had survived a "combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War." That's something that I don't think a lot of people know about you. Have you thought about writing a book about it? I bet it would be a bestseller, because it would be the first book to document Britain's secret invasion of the Argentine mainland--an operation so stealthy, that you are the only person who witnessed it.

I want to learn more about this important battle. How many casualties did the British take as they stormed the bar in the Alvear Palace Hotel? Were you able to grab a waitress' ass as you took refuge under a table? Did they comp your drinks to make up for the inconvenience? Your fans want to hear all about it.

Heterosexually yours,

Gen. JC Christian, patriot


In defense of murder

A lot of my fellow patriots are coming to the defense of the brave Marine who shot the wounded, unarmed man in Fallujah by pointing out that he could have been a suicide homicide bomber. Bill "I have a falafel and I'm not afraid to use it" O' Reilly writes:

"Having survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War, I know that life-and-death decisions are made in a flash. If that wounded insurgent had a grenade or other explosive device, the entire marine squad and the photographer could be dead right now. In a killing zone, one cannot afford the luxury of knowing what is certain."

Future MENSA Hall of Fame inductee Kathleen Parker echoes O'Reilly's comments, writing:

"We now know the man was unarmed, though he might have been hiding a weapon under the blanket...

What we do know is that Iraqi insurgents frequently fake death, booby-trap dead bodies and perform other ruses that have resulted in many GI deaths. In the context of that knowledge, is it possible that the young Marine acted reasonably? That he was acting in self-defense?"


The General agrees. You just can't trust the Iraqi wounded enough to let them live, but if you murder them, you leave yourself open to being charged with war crimes.

That's why I think we should make the summary execution of the wounded our official policy. That way, our soldiers will know that they have the full backing of the most powerful nation on Earth when they violate the Geneva Convention.

Now, I don't think the wounded should be shot right away--I'm not a monster. Instead, I believe they should be left to lie in place for a few days in excruciating pain--just like the Iraqi who was eventually killed by the Marine. That way, he has a chance to be picked up by a concerned family member. If no one comes to get him, an Einsatzkommando making an execution sweep a few days later can shoot him.

I'm sure that's how Our Lord Jesus would handle it.

4. There actually was a war between Great Britain and Argentina
..about those sheep-shit covered rocks in the South Atlantic back in the 1980's. Her Majesty Margaret Thatcher the First presided over that little fracas whilst her erstwhile boyfriend Ronnie Raygun couldn't quite make his mind up if he was "with us or against us".

I have no idea what O'Really would have been doing in the Falklands, other than checking out the four-legged babes.....

What a wanker..... :eyes:

6. You miss the point!
The Falklands were NOT part of Argentina - thus, the O-Lie-ly Lie.

13. Not the same
We bought Alaska from Russia fair and square. The Falklands/Malvinas have been in dispute since the early 1800s.

10. I just watched his 60 minutes interview
It was done before the harrasment suit. What a nothing. He's a tabloid reporter - he has nothing.
