Bill O' Reilly is boxed-in by the unsuccessful search for Iraqi WMDs and his 2003 statements where he called on Bush to be honest and open with the American people if they are not found.

As of today none have been found and Bush has not been open and honest.

Right now, the O'Reilly spin is helping Bush to cover up his lies and mistakes about Iraq. Now we need honesty and truth from O'Reilly. But don't hold your breath or have great expectations.

Right now neither seems honest or trustworthy.

O'Reilly must stop the spin and apologize as he promised in March 2003. He must also admit Bush lied about the WMDs as he said he would do in July 2003.

If O'Reilly does not come clean and stop the spin, he will be just another conservative talk show host who makes a name by bullying guests and spinning stories to make others look bad. He will make it clear he is a master of spin, not willing to see things critically as he claims. He will show he is dishonest and untrustworthy like Bush.

This is what "No-Spin" O'Reilly said about WMDs in 2003:

March 18, 2003 on Good Morning America he said "And I said on my program, if -- if -- the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again."

May 22, 2003 on The O'Reilly Factor, he declares: "The bad news for President Bush comes on the weapons of mass destruction front... The U.S. has captured enough scientists like Dr. Germ and Ms. Anthrax, or whomever, to get a picture of what Saddam Hussein had or didn't have. The Bush administration needs to begin explaining the situation. Talking Points understands time is needed, but the right wing spin that Saddam was a deadly weapon himself isn't going to cut it here. The American people must have honest, accurate intelligence in a world this dangerous. This is a vital issue that we hope will be candidly addressed by the President and soon."

June 11, 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, he said: "It is possible the President did lie, but most of the credible evidence points to wishful thinking on WMDs, rather than outright deception. By the way, the President must tell us his feelings on the guerrilla action in Iraq and the WMDs, or risk losing popularity... We the people deserve an extensive update from the President before he goes on summer vacation. This is not a partisan issue. This is a people issue. There are things we have the right to know about, and the President must tell us."

July 5, 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly declares: "Reasonable people are faced with two conclusions -- one, that the intelligence was wrong, or, two, that more time is needed to find the weapons. Talking Points just asks one thing from President Bush: an update on the situation in the next few weeks. That's a very reasonable request, and one the President must take seriously if he wants to advance the cause of the USA throughout the world. In the end, if the intelligence was faulty, some people have to be fired. If, God forbid, the intelligence was contrived, and I don't believe that, but if it is proven, then Congressional action must be taken."

Jul 9, 2003 on The O'Reilly Factor, he declares: "If Bush lied -- if he lied -- I'll be the first one to hang him, OK?"

July 11, 2003 On The O'Reilly Factor, he said: "President Bush cherry-picked intelligence that pointed to WMDs inside Iraq. Now he's got some explaining to do. The anti-Bush zealots, of course, don't want to hear any explanations. They've already convicted Bush of lying. This is, of course, irresponsible. It is possible the President did lie, but most of the credible evidence points to wishful thinking on WMDs, rather than outright deception."

September 8, 2003 In his syndicated column, he writes: "All Americans, but particularly those families who have lost soldiers in Iraq, deserve to be kept appraised of the WMD investigation. Fair-minded Americans will accept mistakes if they are made honestly, but there is no excuse for an information blackout on this important issue."

September 24, 2003 While interviewing National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice on The O'Reilly Factor, he said: "Last March, I stuck up for you guys. After Colin Powell went to the United Nations -- and I said on Good Morning America that I believed that we were right to go to war, the United States, based upon weapons of mass destruction and the danger that Saddam posed. And I also said to Good Morning America: if the weapons found to be bogus, I'd have to apologize for my stance. Do I have to apologize?"

Rice said he didn't need to apologize and did not offer specific evidence for the existence of Iraqi WMDs.

October 8, 2003, During his appearance on the National Public Radio interview program Fresh Air, Bill O'Reilly declares: "Well, certainly the WMD situation is troubling, okay. All Americans should demand within the next nine months -- before the Presidential candidate, uh candidates, really swing in -- for an explanation of what exactly happened. Americans will accept mistakes if mistakes were made honestly, but it needs to be defined by the Bush administration why the intelligence was faulty. And, uh, you know, there is no spin on that. They have to do it."
