Wow. This Donohue vs. O'Reilly video really is a must-see

You gotta love how well Donohue handles himself. Calling O'Reilly "Billy." Woosh. It's almost not worth commenting on. O'Reilly pretty much concedes the war was a big mistake, has become a big mess, but then says it's "noble" for our boys to stay over there to ensure that Iraqis have a chance at freedom.

Well, you know what. 6 billion people around the globe deserve freedom. It doesn't mean I'm going to pay for all of them to have it, and it also doesn't mean I'm willing to die for their freedom. My freedom, yeah. My country's, sure. Everybody's? Not so much.

There's a limit to what one country can do, and since when did Republicans decide that it was time for America to save the entire world? That's not a hell of a criteria for declaring war, or narrowing down which wars you declare and which ones you take a pass on. And simply declaring it "noble" and waving the flag hardly excuses sending our men and women to their deaths and empowering Al Qaeda even further via this stupid war. I thought the war on terror was supposed to be real and not a feel-good gesture.

Bluster is cute, but as Donohue said, it doesn't make right.
