Media Matters: From O’Reilly’s interview with Donald Rumsfeld on the May 19 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

O’REILLY: Why do you think the left in this country is so anti-Iraq war? Why? Is it just the hatred of the president? Or is — do they see another pathway to fighting Al Qaeda?

RUMSFELD: This is not new. There has always been controversy.

O’REILLY: But why?

RUMSFELD: Wars are unpopular.

O’REILLY: Why?

RUMSFELD: They’re bloody, horrible things. They’re terrible things.

That’s why, Bill. Did you really need Donald Rumsfeld to explain that to you? It’s shit like this that makes me want to root for global warming.
