O’Reilly to Karl Rove: Only the ‘Loons’ Would Oppose Bombing Syria

Who would possibly vote against a military strike on Syria in response to its government’s use of nerve gas against rebels? Only “the loons,” Bill O’Reilly said last night on his show.

Joined by Karl Rove, the Fox host was confident in his belief that despite there not being a strong majority of Americans supporting military intervention in Syria, President Obama would have no trouble getting congressional approval to strike.

“Who’s going to vote against that besides the loons?” the Factor host asked. “What politician wants to be labeled, ‘Well, go ahead and use poison gas, kill the children, and we’re not going to do anything about it’?”

“There are a lot of people who said ‘We don’t care about Saddam Hussein,’ and voted no,” Rove added, speaking specifically about “isolationists” in Congress.

O’Reilly concluded the segment with his prescription for action in Syria: “It’s got to be done quickly. Bang, boom. And then let the chips fall where they may. But no more dead kids breathing poison gas.”
