Last night’s O’Reilly Factor (10/13/11), with guest Megyn Kelly, talking about how to deal with Iran:
BILL O’REILLY: What do we do?
MEGYN KELLY: It’s a political question for President Obama and a military question for him, but it’s not really much of a legal question because legally he can do it.
O’REILLY: OK.
KELLY: If he wants to do it….
O’REILLY: Let me stop you there. So there’s no difference between killing bin Laden, Al-Awlaki with a drone? OK. Just today they killed another big terrorist guy in Pakistan with a drone. We could drop a drone right down Ahmadinejad’s nose legally?
KELLY: We can go after Iran. We can start a military conflict with Iran. President Obama can do that tomorrow.
O’REILLY: With the drones. Boom.
KELLY: Just the same way…
O’REILLY: Ahmadinejad, ah.
KELLY: Look what we did in Libya. It’s a lot more than what you are talking about right now. And he didn’t seek congressional authority. Although he should have, technically, under the law. But even if he didn’t, which he didn’t, no one has ever gone after a president for doing this.
O’REILLY: OK. So legally, he could take the mullahs out. He could take Ahmadinejad out. He could send them a message, saying, “Look, you try to do this on our soil, here’s what happens to you.”
KELLY: The law is, technically, he’s supposed to have an imminent threat against the homeland. Or….
O’REILLY: I think blowing up an embassy in Washington is an imminent threat. Do you?
KELLY: But that’s been stopped. So technically….
O’REILLY: But the fact that it’s been stopped doesn’t really matter, because the threat is still there.
A concise display of idiocy, hypocrisy and barbarity.
Brevity may be the soul of wit, but you can cram a lot of witless soullessness into a short space as well, can’t you?
@ Doug, Very well said my friend!
Thank you kindly, Quentin.
The King of Spin! Jaysus! That dialoue sounds like it came straight out of a Marx Brothers routine.
Doug…this conversation is just being tossed about by those two.When you say idiocy,hypocrisy and barbarity remember who you are really talking about.Obama and his advisors.That is where this same conversation is going on …….for real.
Nice, Doug, nice. Hey troll, now you’re bad-mouthin’ your Pres, when he’s doin’ all that ass-kickin’ and name-takin’ against Iran and “terrorists” and other such trouble-makers? Bill O’Reilly and that other twit he’s “tossin'” around with know that the President just might whack a few more outliers, so cheer up, numb-nuts. We get to do whatever we want, to whoever we want, with impunity, for any reason, or no reason at all, and we dont’ need to show any badges, or evidence, or any of that other bullshit. O’Reilly’s down with the Pres, why aren’t you?
P.S.: ” . . . against the homeland”? Did that imbecile totalitarian drone Kelly actually say that? She probably doesn’t even realize it, it’s so reflexive.

I don’t trust this president to do a good job on this sticky wicket anymore than you do.I pay and hope he (and hilary)makes the right choices before our military is asked to weigh in.You don’t say,but if your true socialist party was in charge now- how do you think they would handle the iranian situation?

Wow! After reading this I’m speechless… How can these people be in mainstreem TV? It seems that we have turned into a nation of Idiots, psychopaths and lynch mobs.
