James Carville went toe-to-toe with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News Wednesday night, suggesting that the reason President Obama hasn’t received overwhelming support from liberals is because of former President George W. Bush’s “incompetence” in Iraq.

The “Factor” host blasted the president as having no vision for Syria, but Mr. Carville argued that “kids” dying in the war-torn country could be a viable reason for intervention.

“I think what really is freaking people out is the incompetence of the Bush administration in Iraq,” the Democrat said. “The Iraq thing is why people have so much trepidation about going into Syria. They said the last time we went over there, look what happened. I really think this has something to do with it.”
