On the Brian and the Judge radio show today, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade
presented his sunshine-filled vision of Iraq, declaring that “the
Green Zone could come down in 6 months” and praising a new hotel
to be built in Baghdad. His view was so optimistic he declared that
there were “just as many convoy attacks” in the streets
of America as there are now in Iraq:
KILMEADE: Do you think one of those people could have said, Barack,
now that you’re sitting down here in a wonderful summer day,
now that we understand that the green zone could come down in 6 months,
they’re building– a five-star hotel’s been cleared
to be built inside Baghdad, now that you understand that convoy attacks
are down to 1 percent — that’s the same percentage that’s
in America! I think there’s just as many convoy attacks in America
as there are in Iraq–
JUDGE: Now let’s not get carried away. When’s the last
time there was a convoy attack in America?
KILMEADE: Okay, fine. Can you roll with me for second?
