Bill O'Reilly episode 9 February 2011 - Osama Bin Laden and Muslims in general

A Dr Schuer on the show who has authored a book says we should kill all members of the Taliban. He has said kill three times in about the first minute of this interview. He claims that not enough troops were sent in at the beginning.

Scheur reckons that as soon as the States leaves Afghanistan, al Qaeda will return and although the US government will spin it as a success, the Muslims will see it as the fall of the world's second superpower. Yep, that's totally true. Try to make America think that the rest of the world - Muslims in particular - reckons that has egg on its face.

Schuer says that ONLY the Muslim Brotherhood could replace Mubarak in Egypt so it basically boils down to either Mubarak or terrorists who want to blow America up via Israel. For goodness sake...

Scheur reckons the USA will never catch Osama Bin Laden and that there is more chance of him dying of old age.

Michelle Obama on next regarding her anti-obesity drive. This morning she refused to say where she stood on gays, so she's not in my good books at the moment.

Bill O'Reilly episode 1 February 2011 - Egypt II

We're getting stuck into it now. O'Reilly asks a new guest (Friedman) whether these protests will work and we might get the Muslim Brotherhood ruling the country. He backs this up citing the Islamic revolution in Iran which went from dictator who supported the US to a bunch of cocks who hate the US. I can see Iran is going to be the example for everything that may ever happen in the Middle East.

These are NOT the only two options in Egypt - and even if it is, let EGYPT decide democratically. Friedman says that the Muslim Brotherhood are lurking in the background. Crap - they have been very vocal in the coverage I have seen. Yes, admittedly, they do have an anti-Israel agenda. No, they are not the only people who campaign against the current Egyptian government.

One of the things many people forget is that the people of Egypt hate terrorists too. There have been numerous terrorist attacks in Egypt by radicals and people do not want them.

Glenn Beck is on. He tells us that this is the Archduke Ferdinand moment - something that cold spark of a big-ass war (Assasination of Ferdinand is the incident which sparked off WW1). Beck says that US diplomacy has resulted in the USA backing dictators and this is the reason that people outside the USA hate the USA. This is where Beck stops speaking sense. He is also onto Iran now and how things can only get worse because that is what happens in the Middle East.

Beck now says America should just stay the hell out of other people's affairs - even George Washington said so. It is the liberal progressive agenda which gets America into these messes and Beck blames Woodrow Wilson.

Ah, here we go. Beck says the protests in Egypt are motivated by the Marxists and the Communists. O'Reilly says the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jihadists will take the place of the government and give al-Qaeda another hide-out. Hee hee - this is getting ridiculous. Beck says Mubarak is a horrible ugly guy but it is worse when the Jihadists take over. O'Reilly interrupts and says the world's biggest problem is Jihadists. Beck says NO, it is the Jihadists coupled with the Marxists and the Communists.

This is the most insane conversation I have ever heard.

O'Reilly has just told us that there is no oil in Egypt.

Beck says America is not in the Middle East for oil. anyway.

This is possibly the most insane 10 minutes of TV I have ever seen in my life.

Bill O'Reilly episode 1 February 2011 - Egypt

This is dealing with Healthcare and Egypt and I am bored of healthcare - and there's nothing you haven't head before - so I'm focussing only on Egypt.

Ok one thing: O'Reilly makes a good point. The Supreme Court will rule whether Obamacare is unconstitutional or not during the 2012 presidential campaign. That could come back to hurt Obama if it fails. O'Reilly does make a good point every now and then. It must be the position of the moon.

Has Obama screwed up this Egypt situation? Marc Lamont, a professor at Columbia University criticised Joe Biden for saying that Mubarak is not a dictator. He would give the Obama administration a D-minus. He says, impersonating Biden: "We hate despots. We hate dictators, but he's OUR dictator" - quite funny.

O'Reilly would give Obama a B in dealing with Egypt because he is doing what is best for the USA - selfish and I disagree strongly, but he is allowed his point of view. Lamont makes a good point - you can't push for democracy only when it suits you.

What the hell is going on? O'Reilly is debating like a real person? Am I becoming a Republican or have I gone completely mad? Glen Beck is on next so reality should kick back in.
