Billo has a little tantrum

One would be tempted to think he has realized that he's making a total fool of himself which is why he's being so defensive.  But he's always like this:

“Mr. Colbert and others of his ilk have no bleepin' clue how to fight the jihad. They don’t know anything," the Fox News host said on "The O'Reilly Factor." "And when somebody gets beheaded, their reaction is ‘Oh, that’s bad!’ But by being completely vacant, it doesn’t stop these people from mocking ideas that might have some value, might solve some complex problems.”

"Because in the world of the ideologue, where Colbert lives, solutions don't really matter," he added.

O'Reilly has boasted that both Erik Prince, the former CEO of the notorious Blackwater USA security firm, and Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger endorsed his plan.
Point, set match. Or in other words:

If you missed the Colbert bit, it's priceless:

Colbert whipped out his elementary school notebook last week on "The Colbert Report" to share his own plan for a team in O'Reilly's "fantasy warfare league," arguing that the "mutant double ninja super soldiers with laser nunchucks" he drew in fourth grade would be more efficient than the Fox host's mercenary army.

"As long as we're pretending there's a way to fight a war that doesn't involve sacrifice and that the American people and politicians don't have to feel any responsibility for, we need to think bigger -- like maybe my invisible bomb that blows up only bad guys," he said.

Sadly there are people who think that already exists:

The answer to those questions may well involve the use of force on a limited but immediate basis, in both countries. Enough force to remind all parties that we can, from the air, see and retaliate against not only Al Qaeda members, whom our drones track for months, but also any individuals guilty of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity. Enough force to compel governments and rebels alike to the negotiating table. And enough force to create a breathing space in which decent leaders can begin to consolidate power.
