Great White Father Bill O'Reilly Calls For Redeployment

O'Reilly suggests it may be time to put down the White Man's Burden:

Do I care if the Sunnis and Shiites kill each other in Iraq? No. I don't care. Let's get our people out of there. Let them kill each other. Maybe they'll all kill each other, and then we can have a decent country in Iraq.

My only quibble w/O'Reilly here are that in-context he's not talking about the country as a whole. Basically saying let's make the trouble-spots TAZ's for the civil warriors, hope they run out of bloodlust, and then "we" can have a nice country in Iraq.

Personally, I don't think "we" should have any kind of country there. But then, I'm opposed to American Empire.

Anyway, it's interesting to see this line from him and Limbaugh. Signals that the last bedrock of the pro-war base is all but eroded away. Indeed, all popular measures say that the occupation should end. Give the people what they want.
