And by the way, fighting the ravages of a common cold.
Swept over me.
But Sunday morning about four o'clock, I woke up in coughing spasms.
And I just, you know what I did?
I went and grabbed the Zygam.
And I went back to bed, took some cough medicine.
Actually, it was Zycam cold and flu stuff, comes individual doses and spoons.
And uh slept mostly yesterday.
Got up at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, fell asleep for two hours watching uh watching the golf yesterday afternoon.
Congratulations, by the way, to uh Tiger Woods for decimating the field in the uh in the 90th PGA championship.
At any rate today, back to 90%, thanks to the Zykin.
I was, you know, I haven't had a cold in uh in many, many moons, and whenever I'm on the verge of want to just grab some of the stuff that seems to work, but I do have the lingering uh cough uh with just minor little congestion.
That's where it was starting, and this stuff zapped it.
So uh just explaining this to you.
Not looking for credit, not looking for huzzahs and and uh all these great accolades for daring to show up work while suffering the ravages of the common cold virus.
Uh just informing you.
Welcome back.
Great to have you.
800-282-2882, if you want to be on the uh program today.
Email address is rush at EIB net.com.
All right.
Talk a little bit about the situation here in the Middle East.
An interesting piece today by uh our buddy Joel Mulbray.
Joel Mowbray writes for the weekly Standard.
He has written, I think, for uh the Washington Times.
This is a column at RealClearPolitics.com.
It's uh uh clearinghouse for uh columnist online and published.
And the title of this is Thuggery and Trickery: How Islamic Terrorists Manipulate the Media.
Speaking of this, do you remember after the attack on Kana, you remember that little baby that was paraded around by the guy in the green helmet with the clean blue placifier?
Little baby full of dust.
The same website, and I'm having a metal block on the name of it, it's a European website.
Uh that same website has video that I mean it's pretty conclusive, and they assert, and they allege, and if you watch the video, it's it's it's pretty clear that that little boy was dead already, and they dug him from his grave to parade him around before the media.
There is another story that uh says that an AP stringer is also a Hezbolla civil defense worker.
Uh the increased knowledge that we are gaining and learning about the incestuous relationship between the Hezbows and uh drive-by media reporters, photographers, and stringers over there just continues to expand.
Um and so his his piece here, Thuggery and Trickery, How Islamic Terrorists Manipulate the Media.
I have to ask, I I am not so sure that there's manipulation going on.
Uh I I I'm really not.
I don't know that the drive-by media are manipulated.
There are things that are changing in the world of journalism.
You know when I've always said you go through the uh the the halls of any journalism school and ask your average freshman, why are you here?
Well, like um uh it's that I uh I want to make a difference.
And that's not what journalism is or was or is supposed to be.
Plus, when you when you when you uh factor in just who it is that's doing the drive-by reporting over there, uh you find out that there is this incestuous relationship.
So I don't I don't think there's all that much manipulation.
I I I think there is an absolute effort to portray the Israelis as the bad guys and and uh and and portray the Hezbows as um uh well, Andrea Mitchell was on a Washington, a local Washington, D.C. political chat show, and she even admitted that the press corps was pro-Hesbo.
I think the president used Hezbo today in his press conference, by the way.
We are having an impact out there.
Bill Cosby referring to the media as drive by crap, and the president used the words uh or the uh the word Hezbo.
Now, um another story here, and I want to just play a little game, uh, run a little test.
Which member of the right wing lunatic fringe wrote the following lines to complain about media coverage of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
Here is the quote.
The American media, of course, have presented the war in a more balanced fashion, but the balance of, on the one hand, on the other hand, reporting is bogus.
Truth simply doesn't always reside in the middle.
If that sounds odd, try this.
The Japanese on the one hand were wrong to bomb Pearl Harbor, while the Americans on the other were wrong to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Now the point of this quote is, and if you if you're a student of the reporting of news, no matter what story you watch, they'll do a story on, say, the uh the busting of the dams uh somewhere, the the hurricane could pick your story.
They always, after talking about the fact story, go out and get a critic.
They always, in other words, have to present both sides, and that is considered balance, but nowhere in there is an effort to find the truth.
The theory is that the truth is somewhere in the middle, that you can't trust advocates or witnesses on either side of an event.
And journalists dig deep, and they get to the very middle.
The point of this quote is to say, truth simply doesn't always reside in the media.
Uh, let me give you another quote, and you tell me which member of the right-wing lunatic fringe said these lines or wrote these lines.
Context, context.
That's precisely what's missing in the media's balanced reporting of the conflict between the Hezbos and the Israelis.
Television is especially problematic.
The image is images we see on our screens may be factually accurate, but many represent a profound untruth, leaving viewers with a plethora of images of a shattered Lebanon and a surging Israeli military.
If you still don't know who said this, uh perhaps the writer's advice for the mainstream media will help.
Here's the quote: the drive-by media must begin to recognize the fact that its familiar formulas for integrity just don't work in this new world that is anything but brave.
And those formulas are very easy to spot, and we all know what they are.
Any idea who wrote these words?
Well, it's Morton Zuckerman, well-known lib and publisher of the New York Daily News and the uh U.S. News and World Report magazine.
Mort Zuckerman pointing out that this whole question of balance is missing.
This the supposed it's a myth anyway, but this this quest for balance, one side reported, the other side responds, the truth is in the middle.
Uh it's uh sort sort of like, you know, crossfire never solved anything.
Uh there was never any real persuasion that went on there.
Uh he writes his opening piece here.
War, it is said, is a series of catastrophes that sooner or later result in victory, but the war between Israel and the Hezbos has resulted not in victory, but in a disturbingly quiet, unquiet, a disturbingly unquiet peace.
Ugly people, this is another paragraph uh excerted here.
The world's information media seem either incapable of or unwilling to apprehend what is uh now going on around the globe.
Al Manar, Hezbo's TV station has always been devoted to hate.
Al Jazeera, the other Arab cable cable network, likes to proclaim its integrity, but demonstrates nothing of the kind.
These two propaganda channels have inflamed the Arab masses with anti-Israel anti-American propaganda.
The American media, of course, have presented the war in a more balanced fashion, but the balance of on the one hand, on the other hand, reporting is bogus.
Truth simply doesn't always reside in the middle.
If that sounds odd, try this.
The Japanese, on the one hand, were wrong to bomb Pearl Harbor, while the Americans on the other were wrong to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Such balance in the Middle East ignores some rather important facts that if the Hezbos laid down its arms, there would be no war.
While if Israel laid down its arms, there would be no Israel.
That this was not a war waged by Israel against innocent Lebanon, but a war against Hezbollah.
And that this was not a fight to occupy, but merely to protect Israel's right to exist within a recognized legitimate borders.
So we go back to Mowbray, and the question is do they know this?
Are they being manipulated?
And I refuse to believe that they are being manipulated.
I believe they have agendas.
I believe they choose up sides.
Whatever it is, a war, a political issue, and they uh report through the prism of their agenda.
There's no manipulation whatsoever happening here.
Quick timeout will be the manipulation is being tried.
And the because the manipulation fits the agenda, it is said the manipulation works.
But uh the agenda of most and what is called the big meeting of the drive-by media is well known.
And uh it ain't for us.
Back in just a second.
Very quickly, just to illustrate my point, just found something here in the Los Angeles Times Mississippi comeback.
And this is from August 20th.
Uh because I've been getting a lot of email.
Hey, Rush, Mississippi wasn't underwater nearly as long as New Orleans was.
You can't compare the two.
Well, George Peanut and uh K Jack Riley, Peanut director of the Rand Gulf States Policy Institute, Riley Associate Director of the Infrastructure Safety and Environmental Division of the Rand Corporation, uh said that Hurricane Katrina caused as much devastation and human suffering along Mississippi's Gulf Coast as it did to New Orleans.
It was the worst disaster to hit the state since the Mississippi River floods of twenty-seven and the Great Depression that soon followed.
The rebuilding of Mississippi's Gulf Coast has received far less media attention than New Orleans reconstruction.
Recovery's been hard, and although there has been progress, much remains to be done.
But Mississippi appears to have done more things right than wrong.
Compared with Louisiana, where state and local government did not communicate or work well together.
Mississippi officials formed a united rebuilding team.
Of course, this is uh Haley Barber.
But uh Mississippi comeback out of the spotlight, state's making all the right rebuilding moves.
The state is making you don't have a governor there complaining and whining about the federal government.
You don't have a governor there complaining about racism or anything of the sort, and there are blacks that live in Mississippi, folks.
Um you don't have any of the the the fall-roll, the gobbledygook coming out of Mississippi that you have coming out of the mouth of school bus Ray Nagan, the uh mayor of New Orleans.
All right, to the phones to Charlotte in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Nice to have you on the program.
Welcome.
Caden Diddle is from Southwest Louisiana, Russ.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You hit it on the head, Rush.
Uh, we are our own worst demise.
I'm so sick and tired of the media kicking and prostituting their agendas.
When I tell you there's an eight percent unemployment rate in New Orleans right now, there are twenty dollar an hour labor jobs waiting.
They cannot get work.
You know, they've sent buses for day work into the Alamo Dome in Texas, one person is there to work.
We have got to hold our leaders accountable or they'll never be responsible.
Everybody has done nothing to hold them accountable.
So good old boyism is running rampant here.
You have people like you are just speaking about.
Yet Southwest Louisiana that got hit much harder, I'm sorry.
Rita devastated that coast, but you don't hear about them because they're helping their neighbor, rescuing cattle, wiping their dairy air off and working.
Look, you've you you've got a made-to-order situation here for an election year.
You have the made-to-order situation for the Democratic Party and its willing accomplices in the drive-by media.
You have a majority black city devastated by a disaster that is running way behind anybody else that received similar or worse damage in Hurricane Katrina.
The truth doesn't matter.
If there was any accountability down there, school bus Nagan wouldn't have been re-elected.
But he was re-elected.
What are they going to do?
The die is cast.
Uh uh the the situation is is why do you think the anniversary celebrations are uh are starting up two weeks before the anniversary?
It's an election year.
Hell, I've got a story here.
I didn't bother to print it out.
They're even doing jazz funerals for pets that were killed In New Orleans.
Fine.
I mean, I I, you know, love my pets too, but uh there's there's a there's a different priority.
You can't you can't uh uh worry about the truth getting out that there are jobs down there, eight percent employment rate, twenty dollar an hour jobs uh uh go wanting, because that's not going to be reported.
That's uh whatever attitude the people have down there, it's because Bush is a racist, because the federal government wanted them all to die, and that's the prism.
That's the action line of the story, and that's why I'm spending some time on this today, just to prep you people for um for what's coming.
It's only it's only going to get worse.
Uh let's see.
Grow up the line, go up to line um uh one.
I want to grab Marie in Flagler Beach, Florida.
Hi, Marie.
I'm glad you called and welcome.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey, hi, Rush.
Ditto.
Thank you.
Um listen, I I watched President this morning, and I agree a hundred percent we shouldn't leave Iraq before the job is done.
Right.
What I know is what I want to know is why did the President and John Bolton and Condolisa Rice want Israel to leave Lebanon before the sea with that peace fire and leave before their job was done.
So glad you called, because I have so wanted to address this.
Oh, okay.
That's a it's a it's it's a great question, and and uh uh there obviously are answers to it, but I think it was a disaster.
And I it depressed me.
You know, for three weeks, I was complimenting Secretary Rice and President Bush and Ambassador Bolton for the way they were conducting themselves, and I was.
I thought it was just fact, it was obvious to me they had given Israel a green light to clean this bunch of people out.
And then all of a sudden, out of the blue, reverse course.
Go back to a UN that has no success at any time in its history with things like this, come up with a new resolution.
None of it, it would just it depressed me.
Uh and it it wasn't i i it wasn't because I I I felt like I'd been sold out.
I just I thought we're not serious in a war on terror.
Then I hear the president today, and I get, of course, obviously the different impression.
Um we've got to look at the answers.
I just I I I'll tell you what, I think it was just an utter disaster to stop the Israelis.
But there has to be a reason for it.
And I have done exhaustive research into this, Marie.
And what I have learned is is that the Israelis were ill-prepared, unequipped, and the liberal prime minister there just, even though given the green light, just couldn't pull the trigger to do what was necessary.
Uh uh the preparation for the war was not what it was, the intelligence was not what it was.
And I think the reason for the pullback uh was based on the fact that uh it was going nowhere and it was it was best to stop and uh sort of sta stanch the bleeding, uh, if you will.
Uh by the same token, your question has spawned another one that I've asked.
If we're gonna have ceasefires all the time Israel gets involved with its enemies, why not a ceasefire in Iraq?
Have you noticed, Marie, not one entity, not one, not even the United Nations, nobody's demanding a ceasefire in Iraq.
Right.
I wonder why that is.
If ceasefires are good everywhere else in the world, why not Iraq?
I don't support one, don't misunderstand.
I'm just curious about the people that uh that that that claim and and advocate for such things.
Uh but uh i i it it is it is clear that this was just round one.
The Israelis pulled out of there with a bloody nose, and there will be a round two and a round three.
Uh what the the the thing about this that concerns me the most and always has is the Iranians.
The Iranians are on their quest to get nuclear weapons.
There's no question and they're flaunting it, and now the uh supreme leader over there, the command high authority, the Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, said that nobody's gonna stop them from doing it.
You can dream all you want, but we're gonna proceed with this.
And why wouldn't he?
The world's shown that there's nobody that has any desire to make a real effort to stop them.
We've let the Europeans and the European Union try that for three or four years.
Uh doesn't get anywhere, it won't get anywhere.
Why would they stand down?
Why would they auto say, okay, you know what?
We are going to suspend nuclear program.
Why?
They just think they kicked butt in Southern Lebanon.
They did.
The these well, I don't think they kick butt as because now if you go to these websites, there are funerals for dead Hezbolleaders.
Yes, the media didn't report.
You know, during the war, all we heard was that it was innocent civilians being wiped out.
But the Israelis failed to make a dent in the command structure of the Hezbollah.
Well, not true.
There was a lot of damage done to the Hezbollah, and there was a lot of damage done to their infrastructure and their supply lines and so forth.
But we've just put off the day of reckoning with uh with with Iran.
And to me, it just doesn't seem like there's anybody in the world who has any desire to stop them.
And the thought of dealing with these people making the uh nukes that they can give to terrorists, I mean, that's not a pleasant thought to me.
The uh website I referenced a moment ago, EU referendum blogspot is what it is.
EU referendum.blogspot, and it's the uh place where you can see the video that uh conclusively shows that that little baby, that green helmeted guy was parading around in Kana uh all dust covered and so forth with the brand new spanking clean blue pacifier was actually already dead and dug up from his grave in order to be paraded around.
We've linked to that at Rush Limbaugh.com and this site seems to have pretty good server farm.
They they don't um they don't freeze up or go out of business when they're hit with a lot of uh uh requests.
So if you want to see it, is it rush limbaugh.com.
Now here we go.
This is part and parcel.
I was just talking about uh Iran has turned away UN inspectors wanting to examine its underground nuclear site in an apparent violation of the non-proliferation treaty, diplomats and UN officials said today, the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the information,
told the Apr uh Associated Press, the AP that Iran's unprecedented refusal to allow access to the facility at Natans could seriously hamper international efforts to ensure that Tehran is not trying to make nuclear joke.
It's an absolute joke.
I have many things in life I don't understand, and at the top of the list is the continuing reliance, investment, trust, whatever you hope in uh in the United Nations.
I mean, for for example, how can anyone in this country who's thinking and engaged anyway take the left seriously?
You remember the build up to Iraq?
All the Democrats say we can't do this, you know.
We we've got to include our allies.
It was a fundamental part of Kerry's uh campaign in 04.
We gotta go out there and get the French involved.
We've got to get the Germans involved.
We gotta get uh the European Union involved.
We got they gotta go to the UN, we'll work with our allies, uh, and and they they made fun of the low numbers in our coalition of the willing to go in and disarm Saddak Hussa Saddam Hussein.
Now let's let's look at Lebanon.
In comparison, the UN and our allies have a coalition.
What's the latest count?
The French, what, the ten actual military people, two hundred engineers.
The Israelis are saying, wait a minute, this force is going to be made up of entirely forces from Muslim nations?
We're not approving this.
The French don't want any part of it anymore.
We're gonna have a peacekeeping force made up of 15,000 or whatever it is from uh Malaysia, Singapore, and another far eastern Muslim nation.
Israelis are saying this.
Now, apparently the uh resolution doesn't give them veto rights over what nations the peacekeeping force comes from.
But um, you know, Field Marshal Kofi Annan, where where is your 30,000 peace keeping force?
Or is it a security force and observer force?
Where is it?
Uh anyway, here here we're classic example trying to let the UN solve the problem.
It's made an absolute joke of it.
It is a mess, and yet this is what the liberals in our country suggested that we do in Iraq.
I mean, it's it's uh it's it's it's absurd.
That's one of the things I will not understand, and a lot of people don't, and it gives rise to conspiracy theories as a result.
Eric in Cincinnati, I'm glad you waited.
Welcome to the EIB network, sir.
Hey, Rush.
You know, you mentioned the the top ten floors of the UN, right?
Yeah, uh John Bolton, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Um my uh my comment, I was listening to you mention uh the preparations on the Israeli side, and it made me wonder the preparations on the Hezbollah side.
Straight out from the beginning, uh or I should say as soon as the ceasefire was official and everybody stopped shooting at everybody else.
Twelve thousand dollars per house or twelve thousand dollars per family cash ha cash in hand to each one of these uh uh Lebanese that they were handing out to these people.
Really makes me wonder, you know, were they prepared they knew that Israel was gonna respond to the way they responded, flattening everything that they that Hezbollah shot a rocket from, we're gonna flatten that whole area trying to get those launchers, and now that they've flattened entire sections of Lebanon, hey, guess what?
Here's money.
We're the good guys.
We're coming along, we were prepared.
How many uh uh who are you saying are the good this this is a little bit redundant because the uh the Hezbos have been portrayed all through the war as great social workers, providers of social services.
Uh they're the ones that do the schools, they build the roads, they provide the uh sewage, the air conditioning, uh they do it all.
The Hezbos are just fabulous.
They're so good I suggested bringing them over to New Orleans to rebuild the city.
Ah I I haven't now the Iranians have been funding them for who knows, they're just a proxy for the Iranians and and uh and the Syrians.
So I I for one wasn't surprised that there would be twelve thousand dollars per home.
Are you saying that are you saying that because the cash came in so quickly they knew there was gonna be a ceasefire?
Well, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of thinking they were they were ready for this ceasefire to happen.
They were just biting their time sitting in their holes and hitting whoever they could hit whenever they came by.
And as soon as the ceasefire that they inevitably knew would happen, um, they came out of their holes cash in hand with uh I I there's no way of knowing I'd have no clue if the Hezbos of the Iranians knew that a ceasefire would be coming.
They might have they might have or uh they might have uh hoped for it.
Uh I don't know, but r regardless.
I mean the the uh I may be missing something here, but i the idea that the Iranians would be in there with twelve thousand dollars a house to pa to to pass out, uh hello.
Uh Saddam Hussein was paying every household twenty-five grand if it send a kid out with bombs on it to blow itself up and kill some Israelis.
This is uh this is actually cheap.
The Iranians are cheaper than Saddam was.
Thought it'll be twenty-five thousand dollars a house if he really cared in Iran.
Um I this is what this is this is what's so discombobulating to me about this this whole operation.
This could have been huge to take the Hezbos out.
It could have been huge.
And we're just it's just gonna have to happen later.
Uh it was it was an opportunity for whatever reason, uh squandered.
Let's go to Tampa Phil.
Welcome to the program, sir.
Nice to have you with us.
Hey, Rush, nice to talk with you.
Um in reference to Israel pulling out of uh Lebanon, uh, really that's uh uh uh a microcosm of America's war on terror.
Uh the Israeli prime minister ran on a cut and rent ticket to get elected and um got his uh people out of Lebanon, and look where it got him.
It's the same microcosm we fight here in Iraq that um uh that if we get out of there it's gonna gain us nothing.
And it also speaks to him wanting to cease fire.
It it's his nature to quit too soon.
Uh well, liberals are liberals.
And this that's it's a good point, Phil, and I I'll echo your sentiment there.
Liberals are liberals, and they are liberals first.
That really is not complicated.
I said this to um uh somebody over the weekend.
Uh we were discussing this, and the person to whom I was speaking, you know, it's really profound.
I just wrote seven or fifty words trying to explain what happened over there, and you've summed it up in three.
Liberals are liberals.
And Omert is a liberal.
But you know what's you know what's really um uh uh what's the word ironic about this is that ninety percent of the Israeli population was all for the operation to wipe out the Hezbos, and the Israelis are majority liberal.
Tel Aviv may as well be San Francisco.
I mean, it's it's uh in in one sense uh or Seattle.
It's just that it's it's uh it's a total part of fact the people there couldn't have cared less.
They were at the beach, they were still out partying, consuming the adult beverages.
Um Israel is a microcosm of the United States.
There's some people that don't care what else is going on around the world or in the country, they're gonna they're there to party.
And life's to be enjoyed and so forth.
The rest of the country picks up slack.
Same thing here.
Uh much smaller percentages and numbers, but still is the uh is the case.
But yeah, Olmert uh I I wouldn't be surprised to learn someday when the history of this is written that there was abject anger and frustration at the White House as well.
Uh over there's no question this administration gave them the green light.
You go look at the first three weeks of Bush and his remarks and Condoleezza Rice's remarks and John Bolton's remarks.
There's no question.
They were there was not one shackle on the Israelis from the United States.
It was clear you go in there and you kick butt.
And um, you know, Olmert uh didn't send the ground troops in early enough.
When he did send them in, he called them back after two days, uh, and then says he wants to uh agree to this this ceasefire business.
Uh liberals are uh liberals, ladies and gentlemen, and they uh they they they they are a constant obstacle to uh all kinds of progress, be it domestic or international, be it uh in the war on terror or the war in the culture or what have you.
Found an interesting piece at David um uh Horowitz's site called frontpagemag.com.
There was a piece what's it on Friday by Amil Imani.
Emil Imani is an Iranian who uh has gotten out of the country and disagrees entirely with the regime there.
And I just want to share a couple paragraphs of this uh with you because it is uh fascinating.
He said Islam enjoys a large and influential ally among non-Muslims.
A new generation of useful idiots that Lenin identified as those who lived in liberal democracies and furthered the work of communism.
This new generation of useful idiots also lives in liberal democracies, but serves the cause of Islamo fascism, another virulent form of totalitarian ideology.
And here he defines useful idiots.
Useful idiots are naive.
And by the way, think of Cindy Sheehan when you read this or hear this.
Think it no, no, seriously.
Think of Cindy Sheehan.
I'm not trying to be funny.
This is dead serious stuff.
Think of Cindy Sheehan, think of any of your favorite kook left-wing bloggers.
Uh think of Ned Lament.
Uh think of any Democrat elected or not that you hear railing against the war on terror.
Useful idiots are naive.
They are foolish, they are ignorant of facts, they are unrealistically idealistic, they are dreamers, they are willfully in denial, or they are deceptive.
They hail from the ranks of the chronically unhappy.
And I think that is the foundation to explain it right there.
There's more of this, I'll continue in a moment.
I think the chronically unhappy.
It never ceases to amaze me how liberals are never ever happy.
They don't laugh, they don't smile, even when they're amongst themselves.
I know people that go to liberal dinner parties, and they sit there and they bang the table and they talk about what a rotten guy Bush is.
They're not even happy amongst themselves.
The latest thing to upset them, I don't know if you've heard about this, the IRS gonna start taxing these goodie bags that all these presenters at the Oscars get, these uh bags are worth 70 grand.
Some of the contents in there, and the IRS, we just can't overlook this.
The rich getting free gifts.
I mean, that's income.
That's a that's equivalent.
We're gonna tax that.
Now these people are just beside them.
How can you do that?
Why, these are gifts.
They're beside themselves.
They may have to give up the bags, rather they don't want to pay the taxes.
These are the people advocating for tax increases on the rich.
They're the rich Rich, but they don't want to pay taxes on their goodie bags.
And they're saying, well, you know, we only we only really take one or two items for ourselves, and we give the rest to our flunk, our staff.
So any they're they're they're they're miserable people.
They are unhappy, chronically.
They are anarchists, they are aspiring revolutionaries, neurotics who are at war with life, the disaffected, alienated from government and corporations, just about any and all institutions of society they feel they feel at at great distance from, they're kooks.
They're just they they they have failed to assimilate in the institutions and traditions that define the country.
The useful idiot can be a billionaire, can be a movie star, an academ of renown, a politician, or from any other segment of the population.
Arguably the most dangerous useful idiot is the politically correct.
He is the master practitioner of euphemism, hedging, double talk, and outright deception.
The lesson is clear.
Beware of the useful idiots who live in liberal democracies, knowingly or unknowingly.
They serve as the great volunteer and effective soldiers of Islam.
They pave the way for the advancement of Islam, and they will assuredly be among the very first victims of Islam as soon as it assumes power.
Think of the judge in eastern Michigan.
Think of all the Democrats trying to sabotage the NSA spy program, the foreign surveillance program.
Think of all the people trying to undermine operations at uh Abu Ghrab and Club Gitmo.
They they this definition is one of the best I've seen of useful idiots.
I wanted to share it with you.
Be right back.
Here are those three nations uh that are said now to comprise the bulk of the peacekeeping force.
I mean, I can't even say that with a straight face.
The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Bangladesh.
These are three nations, all Muslim that lacked diplomatic ties with Israel.
They are among the only countries to have offered troops to this so fall, so-called massive force to go in there and keep the peace.
And try this.
This uh this is from Saturday's UK Guardian, an internal Lebanese army statement circulated among forces in the past week, has called for troops, Lebanese troops, to stand, quote, alongside your resistance, that's the Hezbos, and your people who astonished the world with its steadfastness and destroyed the prestige of the so-called invincible army after it was defeated, unquote.
The circular has alarmed ministers in the Lebanese cabinet who had been calling for the army to disarm Hezbollah.
Well, the army's not going to disbom Hezbollah.
The army is Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is that country.
Hezbollah is heroes.
And now this little flyer goes out saying, don't disarm them, stand with them.
As to the call.
What was the guy's name from Cincinnati, H.R. who uh who uh called Eric in Cincinnati?
Let's stop, let's let's let's say that Eric is right.
Let's say that the Hezbos and the Iranians knew full well that there was going to be a ceasefire before the uh war was actually completed, and they had their cash stash ready to go.
