Bill O'Reilly Apologizes.

Remember way back when, Bill O'Reilly said he'd apologize if we  
couldn't find WMD in Iraq? (If you don't remember, you don't have to  
take my word for it: http://www.oreilly-sucks.com/oreillywmd.htm )

Well he finally has, 328 days later. Oh and if you don't care I don't  
want to hear your bitching.

Pundit O'Reilly Now Skeptical About Bush



Tue Feb 10, 9:25 AM ET


  WASHINGTON (Reuters) -  Conservative television news anchor Bill 
O'Reilly said on Tuesday he was now skeptical about the Bush 
administration and apologized to viewers for supporting prewar claims 
that Iraq (news - web sites) had weapons of mass destruction.

   


  The anchor of his own show on Fox News said he was sorry he gave the 
U.S. government the benefit of the doubt that former Iraqi leader 
Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s weapons program poised an imminent 
threat, the main reason cited for going to war.

  "I was wrong. I am not pleased about it at all and I think all 
Americans should be concerned about this," O'Reilly said in an 
interview with ABC's "Good Morning America."

  "What do you want me to do, go over and kiss the camera?" asked 
O'Reilly, who had promised rival ABC last year he would publicly 
apologize if weapons were not found.

  O'Reilly said he was "much more skeptical about the Bush 
administration now" since former weapons inspector David Kay said he 
did not think Saddam had any weapons of mass destruction.

  While critical of President Bush (news - web sites), O'Reilly said he 
did not think the president intentionally lied. Rather, O'Reilly blamed 
CIA (news - web sites) Director George Tenet, who was appointed by 
former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites).

  "I don't know why Tenet still has his job."

  He added: "I think every American should be very concerned for 
themselves that our intelligence is not as good as it should be."

  O'Reilly anticipated the presidential election would be a close race, 
adding he thought Democratic front-runner Sen. John Kerry (news - web 
sites) of Massachusetts would be a formidable opponent against Bush.

  "It will be a very close race. The nation is divided," he said.
