Bill O'Reilly Now Skeptical About Bush

Conservative television news anchor Bill O'Reilly said on
Tuesday he was now skeptical about the Bush administration and
apologized to viewers for supporting prewar claims that Iraq had
weapons of mass destruction. The anchor of his own show on Fox News
said he was sorry he gave the U.S. government the benefit of the doubt
that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's weapons program poised an
imminent threat, the main reason cited for going to war. "I was wrong.
I am not pleased about it at all and I think all Americans should be
concerned about this," O'Reilly said in an interview with ABC's "Good
Morning America." "What do you want me to do, go over and kiss the
camera?" asked O'Reilly, who had promised rival ABC last year he would
publicly apologize if weapons were not found. O'Reilly said he was
"much more skeptical about the Bush administration now" since former
weapons inspector David Kay said he did not think Saddam had any
weapons of mass destruction.
