On the March 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Bill
O'Reilly stated: "You know, in a sane world, every country would unite
against Iran and blow it off the face of the earth. That would be the sane thing
to do." O'Reilly made the remark during a discussion of Iran's recent threat
to cause "harm and pain" to the U.S. if it pursues sanctions against
Iran in the U.N. Security Council because of Iran's developing nuclear program.
As Media Matters for America has documented,
O'Reilly recently declared that "it's just a matter of time ... before
we have to bomb" Iran.
From the March 8 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
O'REILLY: And let's do the No-Spin News. In Vienna, Iran
has threatened the U.S.A. with, quote, "harm and pain" for its role
in trying to get the United Nations to discipline Iran over the nuke issue.
OK. It's the usual saber-rattling. You know, we'll hurt you, we'll do this,
that, and the other thing. Now, what Iran is doing is they perceive that America
is weakened because of the conflict in Iraq and the division at home, OK?
So they're saying, "Hey, we'll just push the envelope as far as we can
push it and see what happens. So we think that Bush is a damaged president,
his approval ratings are low, Iraq is chaos -- we're helping that out, by
the way." Iran is helping Iraq to be in chaos by allowing the terrorists
to go through that country and arming them and teaching them how to make bombs
and all of that.
You know, in a sane world, every country would unite against Iran
and blow it off the face of the earth. That would be the sane thing to do,
just go in and remove the government, because this is a terrorist state. But
we can't do that, and now, the U.S.A. is basically has to take this kind of
rhetoric. I mean, there's nothing else we can do but go to the United Nations
and say to the Security Council, "Look, you can't let these people have
nuclear weapons. If you do, there's going to be a war." So it's between
war and sanctions.
