Where’s that apology, eh?

Adam Doster

Bill O'Reily on March 19, 2003, the day before the invasion of Iraq."If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation; I will not trust the Bush administration again, all right?" Greg Mitchell dug up this little nugget and threw it up at Mother Jones, along with 17 other quotes and incidents where pundits and the press have failed us throughout this war. Worth a read.
