Rosie O’Donnell, no stranger to conspiracy theories, shared her opinion with the ladies of The View on Wednesday as to why the U.S. is bombing ISIS in Syria. Rosie’s take? Forget that ISIS murders Americans on video while threatening our country, it’s for the oil:
“I can’t get out my head the fact that Syria has a lot of oil.”
Not only was the awkward silence that followed deafening, the speechless look on Whoopi Goldberg’s face was even better:

After Whoopi collected herself and responded with “I don’t think anybody goes to war gleefully,” O’Donnell shot back:
“I don’t think it’s gleefully, but I do think there’s a financial agenda attached to it.”
Incidentally, Rosie doesn’t believe that Muslim terrorists were responsible for 9/11 either. When asked in 2007 on The View who she thought was responsible? “I have no idea,” she said. But she did offer this analysis:
“I do believe it is the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower Seven … it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved.
[M]iraculously, for the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”
How does one respond to the Rosie O’Donnells of the world? Maybe Whoopi’s response was the best: a speechless, blank stare.
