He finally had to make good on part of what he said he would do. Another thing he said is that he wouldn't trust the Bush administration again if no WMD's were found. While he did say he was "much more skeptical about the Bush administration now" I don't think he has said he doesn't trust the Bush administration yet. I may watch his program once for the first time in many months to see how he is spinning this.

______________

Originally, Bill was convinced that when we liberated Iraq, there would be WMDs aplenty. Back in March 2003, he went so far as to tell the Good Morning America viewers that "if the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again."

Months later, after President Bush declared the end of combat operations in Iraq and still no weapons of mass destruction had been uncovered, O'Reilly started to regret those words. So he gave the White House an ultimatum to come clean about the WMDs "in the next few weeks." But when that deadline was about to expire, Bill offered a new expiration date, granting the President an additional five months. Five weeks later, when it became obvious that the administration had no intention of meeting O'Reilly's decree, Bill extended it another six months.

Bill keeps hitting the snooze button on his WMD deadline so that he can avoid (or at least delay) apologizing to the nation and declaring his mistrust for the Bush administration, two things he probably never had any intention of doing under any circumstances.

I happened to catch the last several minutes of the O'Reilly show last night. It was his email portion. The last emailer ask him something about his apology for supporting the claim that there were WMD in Iraq. He answered by saying yes he was sorry he supported it and he was sorry he ever believed the CIA in the first place. No mention of Junior whatsoever. The "All Spin Zone."
