Bill O’Reilly declared last night that the United States “can’t kill all the Muslims” — so will have to settle simply for winning hearts and minds.

Talking to Fox News contributor Col. Ralph Peters, O’Reilly called the deadly shootings at Fort Hood last week by suspected shooter Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan “an act of terror.”

He then turned to President Obama’s supposed avoidance of labeling the attack as such.

Barack Obama wants to win hearts and minds in the Middle East, in the Muslim world, which is a good thing and you know that. As a soldier, we can’t kill all the Muslims. So we wanna win as many hearts and minds of good moderate Muslims as we can. So he goes out of his way, you’re absolutely right, Colonel, he goes out of his way, to avoid the “Muslim terrorist” label, which clearly applies to Hasan.

Here’s the video.
