Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program make more sense than anything anybody else out there happens to be saying because the views expressed by the host on this program are rooted in a daily relentless unstoppable pursuit of the truth We find it.
And if you, if you lib commie whatever, you're gonna go nuts when you hear the truth.
So you need to have courage to listen to this program.
Nice to have you back with us folks.
800-282-2882 if you'd like to be on the program.
The email address, rush at Eibnet.com.
Couple of items from the um.
Let's see.
Here we come.
Three or four items here from the lifestyle stack just to take a little break from things.
Um, here are the details now from a story from Morganton, North Carolina.
A legally blind man fatally shot his wife while trying to balance a plate of fried chicken and a pistol.
Kelly Honeycutt of Morganton was holding a 38 caliber pistol he found in a box.
It's sort of like that guy that was just walking his dog out in Sebastopol California, and just happened to find some um, some illegal plants on a land, plot of land that was going to be endangered, plants that were going to be uh, just happened to be growing out there on a plot of land that some developers were going to develop into a housing project.
Just happened to be walking a dog.
It is Kelly Honeycutt of Morganton.
Uh was holding a 38 caliber pistol he found in a box while he and his wife were moving into a new home.
Monday night, said Burke County sheriff sergeant Robert Beale, he accidentally shot his wife Narita in the head after she handed her wheelchair bound husband a plate of chicken.
Beal said no charges have been filed by investigators.
The case was sent to the county prosecutor's office for a final determination.
Beal said the husband was more than 50 percent blind, had limited movement, was in advanced stages of multiple sclerosis.
His wife was the caretaker, had a storybook marriage, Beal said no history, domestic violence, no indication of alcohol abuse.
Just looks like a bad case of bad timing while handling a gun.
It's also one hell of an alibi, folks.
item number two we've been through this before starbucks may pride itself on serving its coffee hot but a woman from the western suburbs chicago has filed a lawsuit saying her drink was too hot carrie hernandez said in a lawsuit that a male worker at the starbucks at 1560 premium outlets boulevard in aurora spilled and splashed hot coffee on her on december 11th 2004.
the lawsuit claimed that hernandez suffered severe severe and permanent injuries from the coffee spill which have caused her great pain and suffering both physical and mental she says that starbucks failed to properly prepare its hot coffee failed to properly seal the hot coffee and failed to properly warn the plaintiff of the hot coffee now she's only seeking thirty thousand dollars here Um, I don't, I, I'm sorry.
I just, I'm at a loss here.
What do you expect coffee to be?
A customer in Philadelphia at a grocery store tackled an armed robber and beat him with a can of applesauce when he refused to drop his gun.
The suspect shot himself in the head during the struggle, passed out after the 66-year-old customer administered four blows to the head with Mott's applesauce.
Finally, the guy passes out, said Detective Curtis Matthews.
There's blood everywhere on the floor, all over.
Customer Thomas Santana, who is 5'4, grabbed the 6'1 gunman from behind when he was on the freezer and with help from Gomez, knocked him down.
The suspect, 23-year-old Thomas Reyes, was in stable condition in a hospital, was expected to be charged with attempted murder, attempted robbery, and other charges.
Tell you what, fried chicken, applesauce, this stuff is deadly.
And then there's this from Monroe, something or other.
I don't know if it's Monroe, Alabama, Louisiana.
There's a lot of Monroes out there.
A 46-year-old man accused of assaulting his wife with a carrot, causing her to lose sight in one eye.
Roderick Vesey is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Pamela Vesey, 46, underwent six hours of surgery after being hit in the left eye with the vegetables Saturday night.
But doctors were not able to restore her vision, according to the prosecutor, Stephanie Damiani.
The couple was arguing when Roderick Vesey tossed the carrot.
I have warned you people, I don't know how many times, about carrots.
They are deadly.
And this is just, I mean, maybe a new use or a new way that these dangerous vegetables can harm you, but I will guarantee you, ladies and gentlemen, that everybody who has been in an automobile accident has had carrots in the recent months prior to the accident.
Everybody who's had a heart attack has eaten carrots.
Everybody who's diabetic has eaten carrots.
Everybody who has gone blind has eaten carrots.
I lost my hearing.
I ate carrots.
I don't know how long we're going to have to continue warning people about this.
Finally, President Bush is announcing his veto of the stem cell bill today.
This is his first veto.
I'm looking at his face.
He is deadly serious about this.
There are a number of stories that have been circulating around this for the longest time.
Let me give you this little story here from the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Senate spoke firmly Tuesday, passing long-debated legislation to permit federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, but President Bush expected to respond just as firmly, perhaps as early as today, with the first veto of his presidency, and he just did it.
It's unlikely that Congress has enough votes to override the veto.
Myself, I personally hope Bush enjoys this, and I hope he makes the veto more of a habit with some of the asinine legislation that comes to his desk.
Now, the controversy is not over.
This stem cell research business and using embryonic stem cells, there is so much demagoguery about this.
There is no evidence of any of these claims.
And the claims are that embryonic stem cells will cure everything.
Parkinson's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, even protect you from carrots.
But we are not, we're not even years within human clinical trials on this.
This is all nothing but speculation.
I'm telling you, and I have from the get-go who is behind this, is the militant pro-abortion crowd because you need abortions to get these.
There are plenty of other stem cells that the research is being done on, the umbilical cord stem cells, adult stem cells.
Karl Rove got in trouble the other day for telling the truth when White House political advisor Carl Rove signaled last week that President Bush planned to veto the stem cell bill.
The reasons he gave went beyond the president's moral qualms with research on human embryos.
In fact, Rove waded into deeply contentious scientific territory, telling the Denver Post's editorial board that researchers have found far more promise from adult stem cells than from embryonic stem cells.
Rove's negative appraisal of embryonic stem cell research, echoed by many opponents of funding for such research, is inaccurate, according to most stem cell research scientists, including dozens contact, a dozen contacted for this story.
The story is by Jeremy Manier or Manier, maybe, and Judith Graham.
It's in the Chicago Tribune.
There's a great piece at National Review Online today by Michael Fumento called Science's Stem Cell Scam.
It should change its name to pseudoscience.
I'm not going to read his whole story.
I've got to take a break here anyway.
But it's at National Review Online, and you should go read it.
We'll link to it later at rushlinbaugh.com.
Oh, by the way, we put the, did I mention we've got the picture of the people cruising lounging in the cruise shop?
Okay, it's there.
Did mention that.
I think we need to re-examine this whole term scientist.
You know, there's certain things in our culture that are never questioned.
They have instant credibility.
If a scientist says anything, it's got to be true.
Scientists have this aura.
Another one is law enforcement.
Sources close to the investigation.
They're never doubted.
Law enforcement is always believed.
It's never questioned, particularly by the media and by most of us.
And this is not a political bias.
It's just the way it is.
It is why global warming has become a scientific thing because nobody can question science.
Why?
Scientists smarter than everybody else.
And science is science.
Science is not politics.
It's absolutely BS.
Science is all about politics.
And science has been so wrong about so many things.
They're not infallible.
And this is the context of Fumento's piece because there is so much demagoguery about embryonic stem cells and how they're the only ones that will provide miraculous cures for all of these dreaded diseases that will wipe us out.
A little bit more in detail when we come back after this brief timeout.
I haven't seen Bush this forceful since one of his last speeches on Iraq.
Little kids in the background screaming and crying, driving me nuts trying to listen to the president explain his veto of the stem cell bill, really lashing out at House members for their demagoguery in this, saying that human beings are not commodities.
And he's not against stem cell research, but he doesn't want.
I heard a reporter the other day, this was yesterday.
Infobabe was interviewing some scientists about these embryos and said, well, what's the big deal?
They're not fertilized, are they?
Somebody, I couldn't believe I was watching this.
An embryo is not fertilized?
It can't be an embryo then.
At any rate, Michael Fumento's Science's stem cell scam.
Embryonic stem cells receive tremendous media attention with oft-repeated claims that they have the potential to cure virtually every disease known.
Yet there are spoil sports, myself included, writes Mr. Fumento, who point out that they have yet to even make it into a human clinical trial.
This is even as alternatives, adult stem cells from numerous places in the body, as well as umbilical cord blood and placenta, are already curing diseases here and now and have been doing so for decades.
And that makes embryonic stem cell advocates very, very angry.
How many diseases adult stem cells can treat or cure is debatable, with one website claiming almost 80 for umbilical cord blood alone.
Dr. David Prentice of the Family Research Council, using stricter standards of evidence, has constituted a list of 72 for all types of ASCs, adult stem cells.
But now three embryonic stem cell advocates have directly challenged his list.
They've published a letter in Science magazine released ahead of publication, obviously to influence President Bush's promise to veto legislation that would open wide the federal funding spigot for ESC research.
The letter claims that adult stem cell treatments fully tested in all required phases of clinical trials and approved by the Food and Drug Administration are available to treat only nine of the conditions on his list.
Well, one answer to that is that it's nine more than could be claimed for embryonic stem cells.
Further, there are 1,175 clinical trials for adult stem cells, including those no longer recruiting patients with zero for embryonic stem cells.
But a better response is that the letter the authors come from the is that the letter authors come from the Kenneth This doesn't make sense.
The letter authors come from the Kenneth Lay School for Honesty, as do the editors at Science.
In the detailed attachment to their letter, the science magazine writers aren't just at odds with Pretis, but the medical community as a whole.
For example, regarding sickle cell anemia, they claim adult stem cell transplants from bone marrow or umbilical cord blood can provide some benefit to sickle cell patients and hold the potential to treat sickle cell anemia.
Some benefit and potential.
Anyway, he goes on to just ridicule the whole movement and the lack of genuine science that is propelling the electronic and embryonic stem cell community.
And it's, but there's only one way to get those.
Embryonic stem cells is after conception.
There's only one way to do it, and it's not ethical.
And Bush says we're not going to turn human beings into commodities and vetoed the bill.
And they don't have the votes in Congress to override this.
This is John in Bayport, New York.
John, welcome.
Glad you waited.
EIB Network.
Hi.
HR are going to be on there for the next 22 years at least.
And I have to say, I agree with you about 90% of the time.
And on this point, regarding what the Israelis are doing in Lebanon, I have to agree with Pat Buchanan.
And it was incredible.
The most incredible thing in my life.
I have to agree with Helen Thomas.
I just can't believe it.
Well, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
Hold it.
Let's go back.
Grab sandbite number eight there, Anderson.
And we'll listen to what Helen Thomas had to say in this exchange.
Because I want people to know what you're talking about, what you're agreeing with, what she said.
And here's a little snippet.
It's the first time.
Yeah, well, fine.
We all have our crosses to bear.
I know.
Here's what the exchange sounded like.
The United States is not that helpless.
It could have stopped the bombardment of Lebanon.
We have that much control with the Israelis.
I don't think so, Helen.
We have one for collective punishment against all of Lebanon and Palestine.
Now, what's interesting, Helen...
And that's the perception of the United States.
Well, thank you for the Hezbollah view.
All right.
That's not all that she said.
But what is it you agree with her about?
Just consider this.
Now, if the police, and I grew up in the Bronx, and I know where the South Bronx is, and I went to high school down there, if the police in the South Browns reacted the way the Israelis reacted in Lebanon as far as gangs and gunfire and all that jazzy stuff, the South Browns would be a big farm.
And other parts of New York City would also be the same way.
And I'm sure a lot of other parts of the country, they overreacted.
I mean, it's like the police going by a high-rise apartment and getting shot at and say, okay, we'll get that guy.
We'll blow the whole damn apartment up, apartment house up.
And this is exactly what the Israelis are doing.
And I don't think Shiron would have done this.
I don't think Sharon would have reacted this way.
Sure, they have to get the people that are shooting at them and shooting rockets and all that sort of thing.
But there's got to be a lot of people.
But now, wait a minute.
Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
Sure, they have to get the people shooting at them and shooting rockets?
Right.
What are they doing?
Well, how did the police get people without blowing up apartment houses and blowing up the whole damn thing?
When you are the cowards of Hezbollah, you haven't analogized this properly.
When the cowards that are Hezbollah are...
There aren't any criminal as a coward.
No.
When they are launching the rockets from homes and when they are refusing to allow citizens and civilians in southern Lebanon to leave precisely because they want it to appear to people like you and Helen Thomas that the Israelis are targeting civilians.
Let's say that the cops and the neighborhoods in the Bronx are being fired on from the buildings where people live.
Then you've got a hostage situation there.
Right.
But you don't blow the whole damn building up.
And if they want to get the source of these rockets, why don't they go where they...
The South Bronx is not a terrorist organization versus the city of New York.
This is Hezbollah, which is part of Iran, against the state of...
Come on, where's your historical perspective on this, John?
I know where they're getting the rockets from.
They're getting them from China.
Right.
North Korea.
What are they supposed to do?
What is Israel supposed to do?
Well, that's where the source of the rockets are coming from.
What is Israel supposed to do?
What are we supposed to do?
You say you agree with Buchanan and Helen Thomas, it's somehow our fault.
Richard Cohen of the New York Times, of all people.
The Washington Post.
Don't sell me that.
His latest piece on this was inane.
His latest piece on this was close to Ahmadinezad.
And look at what the Israelis are doing to the Israelis.
Are you aware of that?
What are you aware of the fact that they have six?
What do you expect them to do?
They lost an airman 20 years ago.
Okay, look, look at what the Israelis are doing to the Israelis, something that nobody ever wants to even talk about.
They have 6 million people in that country, and in a period of time, I'm not sure just exactly how to do it.
John, John, we're right.
John, John, John, I'm out of time here because we've got to go to what's called a hard break.
It doesn't float.
Be back in just a second.
Having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, Rush Limbaugh, with vocal vibrations, rhetoric and residence.
Robinson, you bring some bumper music from home.
We're all listening to this, and it doesn't sound like it's in the approved bumper music rotation.
It's in the library.
Okay.
Awfully hostile up there.
We got a new backup broadcast engineer.
Awfully hostile today, folks.
You can't hear it.
You'll have to trust me.
I want to go back to John in Bayside.
He's not with us on the phone anymore.
John, I'm really at a loss to understand your reaction you're having to this.
It is, it's not Robinson.
What's Jorgensen?
Will somebody get it straight what this clown's name is?
Ed.
Ed.
We don't call people by their first names, Ed.
What is your last name?
Robinson.
You want to hear this guy, folks?
He sounds like he's talking to me from upper management.
No doubt primed by what was his name, Aldamont.
At any rate, the historical perspective, John, that you have on this current situation has to be limited if you think that Israel's response is disproportionate to what is happening here.
And if you think that this was not done purposefully on the part of Hezbollah, the kidnappings and the other things, your head's not screwed on right about it.
Doesn't matter where the missiles are coming from in terms of China or what have you.
What Helen Thomas is saying and what Buchanan is saying is that we have the ability to stop this, and we don't want to stop them.
It's a gift, John.
It's time once and for all to deal with this.
I have a post here by a woman named Bridget Gabriel, who is Lebanese, at a site called American Congress for Truth.
And she says in this site, and I've been wondering about this all day.
I've been wondering, he's not supposed to ask this, but all these people are whining and moaning about their evacuation and how slow it's been and how tough it's been.
Why are they there in the first place?
It's not Bermuda.
It's not the Caribbean.
It's not a vacation spot.
Anybody with half a brain knows this.
So why are they there?
Now, we're not supposed to ask that because it's nobody's business.
People are free to go wherever they want to go.
Now, Bridget Gabriel has posted the note, dear friends, I'm speaking with Lebanese Christians in Lebanon.
They're all fine.
Israel is not bombing them or their towns.
Israel is bombing the Shiite radical strongholds.
This is what the news is not telling you.
Israel bombed the airport, the port, and the bridges to Syria because they are used to transport weapons and support to Hezbollah.
The Lebanese army doesn't even have an Air Force or airplanes.
They don't have helicopters.
They only have helicopters.
The airport was used to bring support to Hezbollah, and that's why Israel bombed the infrastructure, and they're going to continue to do that.
They're isolating Hezbollah.
They've opened a Western front.
They're isolating Hezbollah, and they're making it difficult for Hezbollah to be resupplied with whatever they need, from armaments to food to anything else.
Hezbollah is the A-team of terrorist organizations.
They're more organized, more lethal, more structured, more calculated than even al-Qaeda.
It is Hezbollah who is training Al-Qaeda members in South Lebanon and in the Baca Valley and in southern Beirut where Israel is bombing.
It is those same al-Qaeda terrorists who are trained in Lebanon are the ones who travel via Syria into Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israel is doing the job the world powers and the UN should have done a long time ago, precisely, which is why I said this is a gift of the world.
This is not a little skirmish in the South Bronx.
And to analogize it to that is sadly short-sighted.
Bridget Gabriel, also, who is Lebanese, also says that it is Lebanon and Hezbollah where the terrorists are developing the roadside bombs used on our Marines and soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Those same terrorists have cells in America and are ready to unleash suicide bombing here in America if so ordered.
On that basis, Maureen in Renton, Washington, I'm glad you called and welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rosh.
I'm looking at a current map of militant Islamist groups in the United States, and several of them are listed with Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda.
Wait, wait, wait.
Maureen, Maureen, where'd you get this map?
It's Stephen Emerson's book, American Jihad, page 197.
Oh, yeah.
I met Stephen Emerson a couple weeks ago before I went to the Dominican.
Yeah, and it's excellent.
I mean, it tells you each city which groups are in that city.
New York has the most.
We got Louisville, Charlotte, Houston, Detroit.
You know, all these things listed with Hezbollah's sleeper cells right there.
And my point is, with all the gutting of our intelligence by the Clinton administration and the whole Jamie Gorellik era, and now the New York Times exposing our operations, I think that, like as you said before, that going into Syria and Iran to take out nuclear facilities is going to trigger these active sleeper cells.
And which I'm not saying we shouldn't do because that would happen.
I'm just saying with this gutting of our intelligence, do you think that we are trying to get a handle on all these sleeper cells before we do that?
I think we know where they are.
I've seen enough old video presentations that have been secretly made by informants inside mosques.
And not just in New York, Oklahoma, Michigan.
Yeah, you should see this map.
I mean, cities you wouldn't even think.
No, I know.
But they've had infiltrators go in there and secretly videotape quality is not all that good because they've got to go in with hidden equipment.
But there's no question the FBI is fully aware of what's going on.
We're not going to announce it, though.
I mean, that would give it away.
I just think it's ironic that CNN is over there talking to Hezbollah representatives and talking about what's going on there.
They can just go across the street and talk to them.
Well, of course.
I mean, Hezbollah would love to use them that way.
Hezbollah would be the nicest guy, probably offering them all kinds of food and who knows what else.
Probably a great press room over there at Hezbollah headquarters for the U.S. drive-by media.
I know how press rooms work.
I mean, one of the things that you do is you stock them up with food, adult beverages, anything else.
It's an old custom.
I mean, the press generally would never have to buy a meal if they just went to a reception every day in Washington or wherever.
But at any rate, the situation is, I think, well in hand.
The question is, can you stop it?
Do we know when they're going to get an order?
We've heard of the attempt to blow up the tunnels in New York, the PATH train tunnels, for example, with terrorists in three countries in a chat room.
And that was part of the foreign surveillance program that was successful.
And this is in the early stages, and this plot was shut down before it ever actually got to the stage or the point where it had any kind of chance of happening at all.
Is what would constitute a go order?
And if the go order is given, can such an activation of a sleeper cell be stopped before it takes action?
We didn't stop 9-11, and there was obviously a series of go orders for that planning and all.
We knew amazing enough stuff about these people before this happened, because within two days afterwards, we knew all the names.
We were able to trace where they had lived, how they bought their airplane tickets for that day's trips.
So I'm sure we have collected a lot of data.
The question is: do we have the ability to stop it and intercept go orders?
Because, you know, it's not going to take much.
The one thing that we haven't experienced in this country, Maureen, is the suicide bomber.
And everybody's focusing on the next giant hit, like, are they going to take out a stadium?
Are they going to try to take out, they won't do airplanes again for a while.
They're not that stupid.
Yeah, I think that, you know, what's key to us here at home is an informed citizenry.
And that's why I think that people need to know that they could be activated very soon and that we just really need to be on the lookout more than ever.
And then I hope that people do, when they see anything, just report it.
Don't think.
Well, see, the problem with that is you might be called a racist and you might be accused of racial profiling.
Now, if you see an 89-year-old grandmother acting suspiciously, you can report that and everybody will be fine with it to go out and wander and so forth.
But if you see a Mahmood running around with little sticks of dynamite out of his pocket and you rat him out, there might be hell to pay.
That's true.
I'm being a little bit...
Well, I'm being a little facetious with it, but political correctness is run amok.
And it has infected the citizenry.
But back to my point, they're not going to do airplanes again.
One of the reasons why is because they now know that the moment they reveal themselves on the airplane, the other passengers will maul them.
And that'd be the end of it.
But they're not going to do it anyway because that's what everybody's expecting.
But just imagine if a couple or three suicide bombers replicate the London subway bombing here in a major city or something similar in a type of terrorist attack that we've not really experienced, i.e., suicide bomber.
I don't think that they would have to kill all that many people, certainly not 3,000 people, to cause a new wave of panic and restrictions and security steps and this sort of thing.
And it's terrorist watchers and analysts, frankly, tell me that they're a little surprised it hasn't happened even by now.
And they fully expect that it will.
And we're not immune to it because there are plenty of sleeper cells here.
And I'm telling you, even this movie Obsession that I have been talking about shows some of the very video that I have mentioned to you.
Video of terror cells or mosques and meetings and some of the stuff that's being said in these things in this country.
It's available too.
It's just something that doesn't find its way into mainstream media outlets.
But, Maureen, I'm glad you called.
I must take a brief time out here.
The EIB network rolls right on in just a sec.
And the busy broadcast resumes from the heavily bunkered and very secure EIB Southern Command, 800-282-2882.
If you would like to be on the program, Dave, in Chicago, thanks for calling, sir.
Rush, it's a pleasure to talk to you, sir.
Thank you.
I'm a physician, and I support Bush's veto of the stem cell research.
And here's why.
Embryonic stem cell research is so nascent in its development that it's going to take millions of embryos before we even can hope it does lead to something promising to cure a disease like diabetes, for example, which is going to mean that many women are going to be asked to donate their embryos.
We don't have enough currently, and it's going to become a women's rights issue.
It's going to open up opportunities for exploitation when women are going to be pressured to donate so that they can cure whatever we're trying to cure.
That'd probably happen.
I think it's been that from the get-go.
And it's going to lead to probably a third world black market.
It's just going to exploit women.
And those who are saying that they're really in favor of this are not thinking about the fact that women are going to be exploited as a result if we end up doing this.
Well, explain that.
How will, not that I disagree with you, I just want you to explain it to people in Riolinda.
How will women be exploited in this?
Well, the way things are now, the other side is saying, well, we're going to cure Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, et cetera, without talking about the fact that this is so far in the future that were we to attempt it, it's going to take millions and millions of embryos.
And those are in, you know, they're going to become in high demand.
I mean, there's not, there's thousands of them now that exist.
So there's going to be incredible pressure on women to donate embryos for the sake of science.
There's not going to be enough, I don't think, from those left over from in vitro fertilization attempts.
And so because of the money that's involved, what you're saying is that they're going to be encouraged to go ahead and get pregnant for the purpose of having the embryo harvested, and that will be exploiting them.
Precisely.
So there's going to be pressure not to get pregnant to have a child, but for the purposes of science.
Right.
And what does that say about this woman's value?
Oh, well, they'll cover that very easily.
She's contributing to the future cure of all these diseases.
You mentioned it.
That, in fact, if your scenario bears out, that'll be the emotional pitch.
You too can be part of the great effort to cure diabetes or Parkinson's or whatever.
Paralysis?
Let's not forget that one.
Spinal disease, this sort of thing.
Oh, yes, That was one of the major pushes during Christopher Reeves' life.
Donald, I appreciate the call.
A couple soundbites I want to play for you here this morning.
MSNBC Live, David Gregory interviewed Senator Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, who has fallen five points behind in polling.
He's up for reelection.
He's a rhino-Republican in Rhode Island.
Gregory says, in effect, the United States wants to allow Israel to have more time to complete what they see as a vital operation.
Is that how you see it, Senator Chaffee?
Is that an important way and the right way to proceed?
I disagree with the President on the root cause of what's occurring here.
I see the root cause of what's occurring in the failure of the roadmap.
And the president talked for the last four years about a viable, contiguous Palestinian state living side by side with Israel.
And the roadmap was supposed to lead in that direction.
And so many missed opportunities.
I see.
The summer of 2003, when we had a great opportunity to push the ceasefire that occurred then in the summer of 2003, then with the death of Yasser Arafat and the election, overwhelming majority of Palestinians voting for Abu Mazen on a platform of peace.
These were opportunities that we didn't take advantage of.
And the next question: do you think that the U.S. is wrong at this point to allow Israel to continue?
I think there should be a ceasefire, and I disagree with the administration on that.
I think immediate ceasefire, and as this spreads, it has the danger of going throughout the Muslim world.
And that's from Morocco to Indonesia, having this unrest.
Where's this guy been?
I think we need a ceasefire immediately.
Where's this guy been?
We need a ceasefire.
All this is Bush's fault.
He needs to be defeated.
It is about time we get rid of these.
Whatever you want to characterize Link Chaffee as being out of the Senate.
This is absurd.
It's Bush's fault.
Bush missed the opportunities.
There needs to be a ceasefire.
All a ceasefire is, is a period of time for the bad guys to arm up again and come back with even bigger and stronger and more weapons than they were using the first time.
