O'Reilly initially supported the invasion of Iraq. Speaking on ABC's "Good Morning America" on March 18, 2003, O'Reilly promised that "If the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean weapons of mass destruction...I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again." In another appearance on the same program on February 10, 2004, O'Reilly responded to repeated requests for him to honor his pledge: "My analysis was wrong and I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm not pleased about it at all." With regard to never again trusting the current U.S. government, he said, "I am much more skeptical of the Bush administration now than I was at that time."
