Time Text
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIB network on the uh Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
We continue today.
Rush will be with us all tomorrow for his first broadcast day of 2007, yet another year of broadcast excellence here at the Institute.
And there is such good news today.
I'm bubbling to share it with you.
It's something that is not going to be said in the mainstream media.
There is an absolute curtain that has fallen on this issue.
And I speak of a victory in the war on terror.
It is going on now in Somalia.
You may have seen some of the coverage of this issue.
It is remarkably spinning into an ether of nonsense compared to what is actually happening on the ground.
First you should know, I guess taking you back a bit, this is the uh Blackhawk Down place, Somalia, a country of about nine million on the so-called Horn of Africa.
It sticks out into the uh into the sea there, between the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea.
And uh you remember that uh we had uh in 1992, because of a famine there, intervened uh in the Clinton administration in the humanitarian so forth and so on to protect uh the deliveries of food, which the um warlords there were intercepting, uh much like uh North Korea's dictator does, intercepting the aid to give it to the military and to keep the people starving.
And then, of course, Blackhawk down the deaths of eighteen army rangers uh there and the uh the United States left the country, Clinton did, uh, to the uh to degenerate uh into uh a and gosh, here this is interesting.
We left Somalia and caused a civil war.
Now currently the fad is that because we're in Iraq, we're causing a civil war.
But in the actual reality of it, when we left Somalia, it caused a multiple party civil war.
And uh basically what's happened now is that the Islamic uh Muslim states around this area, including Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan, are supporting the Islamic courts.
The Islamic courts union is the full title of this radical Islamist Al-Qaeda style government that has been in insurrection against the internationally recognized transitional federal government and uh attempt at a secular government of Somalia.
Now, with that as background, here's what's happened.
Ethiopia, a neighboring uh uh country, which uh has had its own problems uh of civil war and so forth, is predominantly Christian in terms of its culture.
It has invaded Somalia.
It was uh the leader of Ethiopia said they were not going to continents and Al-Qaeda-style government in Somalia next door, which would begin to destabilize Ethiopia as well.
So they went into Ethiopia.
At first it was 20,000 troops.
Actually, what happened was about 4,000 troops, backed by uh modern weapons uh tanks and so forth, have now taken back the entire country of Somalia.
Uh the Islamists are fleeing uh Mogadishu.
They are fleeing toward the Kenya border.
Down in the south of Somalia, it borders on Kenya.
And Kenya has not been very strong about uh its border, and apparently that's where the uh Islamist terrorists are retreating.
Those among them include those apparently who are been ringleaders in the uh bombing of our embassies in Africa back in the uh back in the day.
So there are serious Al-Qaeda types in this Islamist group.
They were trying to restore a base of operations they had lost in Afghanistan and in Iraq in uh in uh Somalia, and they have now been thrown out, not by American troops, but by the Ethiopians.
Now, having said all that, which you can get out of the uh Daily Press, let me tell you a little bit behind the scenes.
The American Navy owns the offshore uh waters to Somalia.
We have a very active force there.
The active force is composed of elements that uh base out of San Diego.
And uh I am told uh reliably, uh not to reveal too much that uh there are operations going on, special forces operations going on and have been going on for some time in the so-called Horn of Africa, i.e., in Somalia, to pave the way for kicking these Islamists out for preventing them for from establishing an Al-Qaeda-type base of operations in Somalia.
And we have been doing it not by an overpowering invasion of American Marines and so forth and so on, but by simply calling on these the uh internal national security interests of Ethiopia.
So it has been interesting to watch as the Saudi Arabians, as the Saudis have been financing the Islamists, the Al Qaeda types, in trying to set up a new Al-Qaeda base in Somalia.
The Saudis have been doing the bulk of the financing for this.
In fact, uh the uh the CIA has come in very strongly.
They have uh something called the Alliance for the Restoration of Peace and Counterterrorism.
They have been working the Somali warlords to keep them away from the Islamists and to keep them in the new transitional government.
And it seems to me that uh this uh now is resulting in victory.
The Washington Post this morning headlines Somali Islamic fighters flee toward Kenya.
Um here's the take they they have on this in the first paragraph, dateline Nairobi in Kenya, uh quote, Ethiopian forces backing Somalia's weak transitional government have taken over Kismayo, the last stronghold of the country's Islamic movement.
And on Monday, we're chasing the remnants of the Islamic militia along the Indian Ocean coast toward the Kenyan border about a hundred miles to the south.
In the final stage of a dramatic power shift in the fragile horn of Africa nations, the Islamic fighters abandoned their heaviest weapons Monday morning and took off for villages in the forest.
No word that this is a victory in the war on terror, but it is in fact a victory in the war on terror.
The LA Times pathetic spin on this this morning, the Los Angeles Times pathetic spin on this this morning was to be concerned about the uh the people who, you know, formerly held uh formerly held these uh jobs uh that uh they had a it's a sudden reversal of fortune for the Islamists who've lost all the territory they seized in the last six months.
They've lost all of their weapons, they've lost their jobs, they've lost their homes.
It's a uh it's a it's a panic situation.
Umbelievable.
But at least the Washington Post reporting straight ahead what happened, but not reporting what it means.
What it means is the Saudis have been thwarted in setting up an Al-Qaeda-based terrorism headquarters in Somalia.
It means that the Bush administration has a victory in the Oh, here's the in this war on terror.
Here's the article.
Tuesday, January 2, Los Angeles Times, A-1, quote, their leaders slipped out of this capital dateline, Mogadishu, Somalia.
Their leaders slipped out of this capital under cover of darkness.
Their plum jobs are gone.
Their former offices were the first looted in a spasm of vandalism last week.
On Monday, these mid-level officials and fighters of Somalia's now defunct Islamic courts union got a renewed offer of amnesty from Somalian Prime Minister Ali Muhammad Gedi, who also set a three-day deadline for residents of Mogadishu to turn in their guns.
So once again, it's the poor Islamists who've been invaded uh by Ethiopia, et cetera, et cetera.
Is there no end that the drive-by media will go to?
Is there just no limit to their capacity to twist and spin these events against the interests of the United States of America?
This is just an unbelievable uh development, but I wanted you to know that today is a day of rejoicing, a day of victory.
This may be in fact our midway in terms of the uh Battle of Midway turning the tide in the Pacific War against the Japanese.
This may be the Battle of Midway and turning the tide worldwide against the terrorists who have invested uh probably the last ten years trying to recapture Somalia and are now totally crushed in that effort.
So I I'll wonder how the analysis will go from here.
But now you know the rest of the story.
Here's Ray in Houston on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Ray, welcome.
Hey, uh good talking to you, uh Roger.
Just with with all due respect, uh didn't Bush 41 get us into Somalia and Clinton inherited it from him.
I think the first things in Somalia were done under Bush 41 and the humanitarian side of things, uh it was uh Clinton who cut and run after uh Black Hawk Down.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ray, thanks.
No, that's right.
Thanks for the call.
1800, 282-2882, and again I have finally uh this was a New Year's resolution of mine to finally carefully and correctly pronounce the name of the uh president of Iran.
If I mean if you're having trouble with this, uh I now know exactly uh the the way in which this is supposed to be pronounced.
His name, as I understand it, is my mood, I'm in a jihad.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, in my own jihad, taking your calls in the Rush Limbaugh program at 1 800 282-2882 back with more after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Roger Hedgecock filling in for Rush from the station KOGO Radio in San Diego, California, coming at you from the home of the um top-seated San Diego Chargers.
And uh Ravens will be here, what, in a couple of weeks, a couple of uh Sundays, and uh we get the bye week, and then uh Ravens coming in, I think, uh to San Diego.
We have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, however long they last, and I think they're gonna last all the way to Miami, but that's just me.
All right.
Uh on the Rush Limbaugh program, your phone number is 1-800-282-2882.
And by the way, all the updates coming at you at Rush Limbaugh.com.
Rush himself will return for tomorrow's broadcast.
In the meantime, here's Doug in Kansas City, Missouri.
Doug, welcome to the Rush Program and Happy New Year.
Well, I'm not in Missouri, I'm on the Kansas side, but from the home of the Kansas City uh playoff bound chief there.
Oh, yes.
Limping into the playoffs, Doug.
But go ahead.
We backed in with a lot of strength.
Hey uh I think it's kind of amazing the Ethiopian army.
We maybe we should turn command over in uh in Iraq to the Ethiopian commanders.
They went in there and kicked butt in Mogadisha and the U.S. Army couldn't.
Maybe we need to shoot some lawyers or uh maybe a few congressmen or something, but it's pretty amazing.
Well, let's say and it's it's it's exactly right, uh, Doug that they did kick butt.
I I gotta tell you, though, that uh th that our our American military is so uh riven with political correctness and and the political managers uh that they're no longer uh you know, I think they're they're so constrained from real combat.
You have American Marines being being indicted for killing the enemy.
It's just insanity.
So I'm glad we got the Ethiopians who have been in a in a in a really barbaric civil war with Eritrea and so forth, and who know how to go in, find, identify the enemy, and kill them until the enemy gives up.
We need to let our army fight, I agree with you.
All right, Doug, thanks for the call.
It's exactly right.
It's exactly what happened.
And that's why we relied on the Ethiopians.
Gave him a lot of help, give them a lot of assistance, put in our special teams, but uh basically let said look, you either get rid of these guys now or they're gonna be all over you.
There's a little part of Ethiopia that's uh uh a Muslim part that they had already the Islamists had already been trying to infiltrate and to foment insurrection against the Ethiopian government.
So the Ethiopian government said, okay, it's time we got in there and did the job, which they did.
You know, I'm still thinking about this caller from last hour about uh praising Castro and he flew to Cuba to get cigars.
Uh that is so passe.
That's so yesterday.
That's so 1959.
Uh everyone knows that the Dominican Republic is where all of the good Cuban cigar makers went, and from whence where did that come from?
Uh from uh from the Dominican Republic is where you get the best uh cigars these days, uh at least as far as I'm concerned.
But aside from that, how about this final tribute to the wonderful health care uh afforded everyone universally in uh Cuba by the I I mean I've heard from leftists since 1960 that look they've had universal health care, they uh all their citizens are cared for.
This is the kind of system we ought to have in the United States, they're out shining us like crazy, Blah, blah, blah, but listening to this nonsense.
When it came right down to it, with Fidel Castro on his deathbed, where did he go to get medical help?
Which doctor last week attended to Fidel Castro?
A Spanish doctor who runs a private clinic in Madrid was flown in to save his life.
The final irony, the final testament to the virtues of government-run health care.
Here's Joe on the I-95.
Joe, go ahead.
You're on the Rush Program.
Hi, Roger.
Good to talk to you.
Thanks for calling.
Can I just brag about our Wisconsin badgers before I get into my point on Iran?
Yes, you may.
Hey, man, we we we did it.
We beat Arkansas, our basketball team beat Georgia this weekend, and you know our Packers beat the Bears.
And you had a good week, no question about it.
Great week.
We're heading north on I-95 through South Carolina.
I was reading USA Today, big story about uh implemented uh I'm sorry, IEDs, you know, the explosive devices.
Right.
No attribution to Iran.
Um so much talk about Iran, nuclear weapons, we're at war with Iran now, and nobody's talking about that.
Very good point.
Very good point.
Those IEDs are coming out of Iran.
Uh, we just uh we just seized a couple of people who said, oh no, we're diplomats who can't seize us in Baghdad.
They in fact had been there uh supervising uh Muqtada Saders uh militia uh in and a and a uh and and teaching them the latest and bringing in the latest money and guns and all the rest of it.
They're bringing uh the Iranians are behind the Shia militias, the militant uh militias that are in are a part of this uh insurgency.
And it it's it remains to be seen what uh Bush is gonna do.
He's finally said, Look, uh we're going to uh we're going to uh get my final plan out.
Let's see, here's uh BBC News reporting that uh George Bush intends to reveal a new Iraq strategy within days in a speech.
Is he going to put in the 30,000 troop surge that's being talked about?
And by the way, thank you to the uh the second brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division, by the way, is preparing to go out of Fort Bragg to Kuwait if they haven't done so already.
Uh and so there does seem to be uh evidence that Bush is going to put more troops in.
Joseph Lieberman, Joe Lieberman, the so-called independent Democrat in the United States Senate, has in an op-ed piece um in a number of papers, I guess I got this out of the uh uh the Los Angeles Times, uh, in a piece entitled Why We Need More Troops in Iraq makes that case.
My question is, if we had a hundred thousand more troops or five hundred thousand more troops, what are you going to allow them to do to win the war?
That's the key point I'm waiting to hear from this president.
What is our war-winning strategy?
Um, uh, ladies and gentlemen, i we could win the war with the troops we have there now.
The Ethiopians won the war with 4,000 troops in Somalia.
It isn't a question of the number of troops and the giant bureaucracy and all the other things that relate to the modern American Pentagon experience.
How many warriors do we have killing the enemy on the ground who are allowed to do so?
So far as I know, the answer today is zero.
Because the key phrase is allowed to do so.
There's not a warrior in the uh Iraq theater or in Afghanistan for that matter, who isn't worried every time they make contact with the enemy over whether or not shooting this person or that is going to be second guessed by a team of lawyers uh back at the base as to whether or not that was a justified killing.
This is starting to get seriously bad from that standpoint, and seriously enough, I even see parallels in our own local uh situation.
In San Diego County, we had a police officer shot by a gang member and killed in an ambush, by the way, in a traffic stop where the ambush, the 17-year-old kid was in a nearby house, rifle with a scope, shot and killed the uh young officer uh who leaves behind a widow and a three-month-old baby.
And uh he did so to gain um uh, you know, uh credibility, uh, cred street cred in his uh street gang, seventeen years old.
How much longer, ladies and gentlemen, before an IED goes off?
How much longer?
They're already beheading people in uh Mexico, the the drug cartels who are so close to the to the terrorists in Mexico that they're adopting their methods.
They're starting to behead police chiefs and police officers and other opponents to their rule.
So it seems to me this all ties together for me that unless we get tough and win, win in Iraq and have a war-winning strategy, that war will not only follow us home, it is uh getting ready to be here already.
That's not good.
That's not good.
But the uh Somalia victory may in fact be the first step toward that victory.
So keep your eyes on that one.
Roger Hedcock in for Rush Limbaugh, back with more.
On a previous occasion, when I filled in for Rush, this is Roger Hedgecock from KOGO Radio in San Diego.
On a previous occasion, filling in for Rush earlier last month, uh I was roundly pillowed in the wacko left media because I dared to bring up that the constant headlines about death in Iraq ignored the fact that the violence level was lower in Iraq than in many countries throughout the world, and for that matter, in Washington, D.C., in terms of violent death.
Those figures, of course, are accurate.
And uh I'm I'm sorry I got them so riled up, but let me do it again.
It was so much fun the first time, I'm going to do it again.
Uh I am I don't know, uh I I've lived in California all my life.
And I know you have in your mind sort of a feeling about uh whatever one way or the other about uh California, but at least you know it to be uh, you know, a wonderful land of opportunity, a great weather, uh uh, you know, kind of interesting a place to behold.
It's certainly a wonderful place to live, as I said, uh I spent uh New Year's Eve sailing on San Diego Bay.
But here's here's here's a comparison.
And this comes from Victor Davis Hanson.
Iraq with about 26 million people.
California with about 36 million.
Um let's compare the two.
Let's compare California and Iraq.
Why aren't we in California, and for that matter, throughout the civilized world, getting headlines to say that every day you wake up as a Californian, every day you wake up, there have been six more murders, twenty-seven rapes, thirty-eight arsens, a hundred and eighty robberies, and three hundred and sixty assaults every day.
Where's the headline?
Nearly two hundred poor Californians butchered again this month, says Hansen.
How about a monthly media dose of, quote, 600 women raped in February alone?
600 violent robberies and assaults in March with no end in sight.
You see, we don't get that because California doesn't advance the political agenda of the left to point this out.
Violence in Iraq advances the political agenda of trying to create a defeat that does not exist.
Let's look at Iraq's judicial system.
On the eve of the war, and this is not remembered, Saddam Hussein released a hundred thousand inmates from his prisons.
Common criminals were released.
Now, uh let's see, in California, we have a hundred and seventy thousand criminals behind bars.
Imagine if they were released.
What would the impact be on our society?
Ah.
These are some of the things that we are not taking into account, and we are being told in our media, something that borders on the big lie.
That somehow or other violence in Iraq is uh indicative of our defeat there.
If it's more violent in California, are we defeated here?
So these are uh some of the uh issues that uh you know, and and you don't even have to dig too deep into the statistics to find uh to find the point even Getting more poignant.
If over every year, just about 4,000 Californians die in car crashes.
Now that's twice the number of Americans lost in three years of combat in Iraq.
And yet there's not a headline about that because again, there's not a political agenda that is being advanced.
And speaking of executions, here in California.
Early this morning, Clarence Ray Allen was executed for a triple murder he ordered from behind bars twenty-five years ago to silence some witnesses to other killings he was involved in.
Oh yeah, the killings took place twenty-five years ago.
Mr. Allen had actually had his execution delayed temporarily because of his age and frail health.
Well, duh, he's aged and frail in health because he's been living for twenty-five years after the crime.
He's now seventy-six.
At least in Iraq.
They kind of get down to business pretty quick.
Saddam Hussein executed.
Our, in fact, our death row population is aging significantly.
A hundred and ten prisoners, at least sixty years old as of two thousand three, this is in USA Today.
There was a spike and it's continuing of population of uh inmates on death row in various states uh uh getting older.
They're simply dying of old age in our quote justice system, unquote.
Which country is doing better in the war against violence?
In the war against an insurgency.
Our insurgency is criminals and gangbangers and illegals, and I don't think we're doing as well as the Iraqis are doing in their insurgency.
So there, let Keith Oberman get into that one today.
Here's uh Adele in Allentown, Pennsylvania on the Rush Limbaugh program.
Hi there.
Hi, Raj.
How are you?
Good.
I think one of the huge mistakes that we made in Iraq is handing over the power to the fanatic Shias.
Uh I'm from the Middle East myself, and I see in the video tape of the execution of Saddam that the air on Al Jazeera and Al Arabia, which is the Middle East uh Middle Eastern stations, and while they're killing him and they're making the execution, which he deserved, dechanting and screaming the name of Mukada and uh the name of El Sadr and the name of the Iranians.
Uh the Iranian leaders, and he thanking them for bringing Saddam to justice.
Not thanking the Americans, not thanking the general that we heard that he was present at the execution.
And I think what this is one of the huge mistakes that we made in Iraq.
We just handed over everything to the Iranians and the supporters uh in Iraq.
Uh and I think this is one mistake that we made, and we need to correct that.
And you know what?
I agree with you, uh, Adele, and I'll tell you what's going to happen.
The uh uh UK papers are reporting January 5 that a um an offensive will begin against the militant militias associated with Muqtad al-Sadr.
And uh I think the Bush administration is going to make a plank of the of the new offensive in Iraq that uh the provisional government, the elected government of Iraq is going to have to get after these militias and disarm them, or the United States military will do it for them, but no longer will an Iranian-backed uh militia be allowed to effect have a veto power on the Iraqi, the elected Iraqi government, and it is a very important mistake we better correct.
If the present ad execution, how powerful they are in Iraq, and I think they make in all this mess, so they helped the Iranians make the U.S. look bad in the Middle East and not go after Iran.
That's the whole idea of the case.
I I agree with you.
The earlier caller made the point it might be a proxy be seen best as a proxy war between Iran and the United States.
Do you agree with that?
Yes.
Yeah, I do too.
Adele, thanks uh for the call.
I appreciate it.
The sooner we uh disarm Mukta al Sadr and reduce his influence in the uh Irania the Iraqi government, the sooner we have struck a blow against Iranian infiltration.
We didn't have Iranian infiltration at the beginning of this uh war, but we sure as heck have it now.
And uh the prospect not of a civil war, but of a proxy war between the United States and Iran.
I'm Roger Hedcock, in for Rush Limbaugh at one eight hundred two eight two two eight eighty two.
Let's see, Kissinger back.
Okay, Art in Kennett, Missouri, is it Art, go ahead.
Yeah, hey, Roger.
First, thanks from the son of a former United States Marine for your appreciation of the sacrifices and professionalism of our troops.
I wish we would hear more of that.
Second, uh you just done a terrific program today, and the original point on which I called was that you said Kissinger was the worst diplomat in the history of the country.
Um I feel like a fairly educated conservative, and it's one of the first times I've heard that observation, so I wondered if you could elaborate a little bit on that.
Absolutely, and I'll summarize.
Uh, there's a lot to be said about this.
I could take the rest of the show, but I won't.
Uh for those of you who thought I might, given that I've talked about this before, but I'll I'll tell I'll give you the summary version of it.
Henry Kissinger, of course, as a Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to uh Richard Nixon, he had both posts, he held both posts, was the uh point man on the uh negotiations with uh the uh the North uh Vietnamese in Paris, the so-called Paris peace talks, going back into the Vietnam War now, though uh thirty-five years ago.
Uh the negotiation was basically his philosophy was the United States was in decline, the Soviet Union was on the rise.
We had to get the best deal we could to get out.
We needed an exit strategy, we needed a way to uh with the honor to uh be able to leave uh Vietnam to the victorious uh North Vietnamese and their sponsors in uh Soviet Union and uh China.
And that was the his starting point.
Uh just as Reagan's starting point was uh the United States was on the ascendancy, the Soviet Union was consigned to the ash can of history, all it took was a push, and he was uh he was the guy who was going to give them that push.
So you have to look at their orientation.
Kissinger went on to negotiate uh in the Paris Peace Talks an accord that basically used, well, it used phrases like uh that uh a decent interval would occur between the retreat of the United States, uh leaving uh South Vietnam, and uh the uh any further military activities by the North Vietnamese.
And in fact, the North Vietnamese honored that for a year or so, and in 1973, when they did resume military activities, the South was strong enough to uh fight them to a standstill.
But by 1975, uh the North had been resupplied by the Soviet Union and China and began uh their final march uh through South Vietnam.
Uh Kissinger at that time saying the decent interval is over, it's time for us to simply acquiesce in this victory, or word didn't say it in those words, but that was basically his position.
Because of that position, and he was still the Secretary of State when when in fact the uh the administration position of Gerald Ford was no, we should back the South Vietnamese with a bombing campaign that supports them and with uh with money and arms to help them defend themselves.
Uh Congress cut off all of the funds.
The Democrats in Congress cut off all the funds to South Vietnam and left them to be uh to their fate uh in the North Vietnamese invasion of the South.
So Kissinger was an architect of defeat, of surrender, and in the old Metronick uh uh tradition of European diplomats, uh he was really the the uh the epitome of uh of kind of that uh real politic uh European approach to uh big power politics, uh with such a contrast to Ronald Reagan.
It's the contrast I always make.
So that in a short art, that was it.
Thanks.
Appreciate the call.
I'm Roger Hedgecock with a short break.
Back with more on the Rush Limbaugh program after this.
Welcome back to the Rush Limbaugh program.
Roger Hedgecock on the first uh broadcast day of two thousand seven, Rush Limbaugh in tomorrow.
And uh, of course, another year ahead.
I'm excited about it, another year ahead of broadcast excellence here at the EIB network.
And uh to that end, let's get back to the phones.
Here's Shirley, Birch Bay, Washington.
Hi, Shirley, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program, and happy new year.
Well, happy new year to you, and thank you very much.
I have a nephew that's leaving uh next week for Afghanistan.
So I um I'm praying for him while he's there.
I have a question.
Why do we why do we pretend that the Saudis are our allies with what's going on in Somalia?
Uh I don't know.
This is a fair question that I have no good answer to, Shirley.
They are not our allies.
They are in fact the sponsors of the Wahhabist sect of the uh Muslim world, a an extremist group that is the source of most of these uh ridiculous Imams and their uh and their idea that God has commanded them to kill all infidels.
So you know, uh surely you don't have to convince me uh I'm uh I'm a hundred percent on your side.
The Saudis are not friends of the uh United States, Western civilization, or anything else.
The royal family made their bargain with the devil uh a hundred years ago with uh the Wahhabist uh group, and uh they said, Look, if if we support you, you're gonna support the monarchy, and that's the deal they made.
They're sticking to it, and uh the people who are hurt by it are the Muslims and everybody else who were in those towers in uh New York on nine-eleven.
Absolutely.
I'm I just uh uh you know, I think about what would happen should the Muslim terrorists uh get into the uh take over the Saudi uh royal family.
We're in a whole world of hurt then.
Well, and this is of course what happened now just because bin Laden went a little uh crazy on him and and and a little too uh too vocal.
See, the Saudis have a a strategy, and their strategy Bin Laden got too public and there was too much reaction.
Their strategy is a much more stealthy one.
I was in Spain a couple of years ago touring Spain and noting how many new mosques were being built in uh places uh that had been conquered uh by uh Ferdinand and Isabel back in 1492, you know, when they drove out the last of the Moors from Spain.
The uh Muslims since then have always regarded Spain as a lost territory for Islam, and they have determined to conquer it back.
Well, the Saudi strategy to do that was to allow a lot of illegal immigrants to come in to get the Spanish to accept that, most of them from North Africa, all of them Muslim, and to then start sponsoring mosques and imams in those uh cities where those uh immigrants had had congregated in and as a as a sort of a fifth column as a sort of a of advanced group to uh begin to the takeover, the taking back of Spain.
This is their strategy.
And I I think I think unless we come up with some kind of realization that this is going on, we're fooling ourselves.
Well, but aren't it's the same thing going on right here in this country?
We've got a lot of new mosques going in.
We've got, you know, tons of uh Muslims coming in, and it's uh like they're good like uh Khrushchev said, you know, even though he's communist, so well they'll take us from within.
Yeah.
And a lot look, a lot of these Muslims are not involved in this.
But too many of them are.
And too many of these mosques are funded by the Saudis by the Wahhabist cult.
Uh too many of them do have Imams like those clowns that went on U.S. Airways, and thank God U.S. Airways took uh you know took them down and got them off that plane.
And by the way, U.S. Airways, uh putting in my plug, uh any airline that will stand up to those imams and to the inevitable uh assassination by the drive-by media of any attempt to uh to uh enforce, you know, a reasonable security on these planes.
Uh U.S. Airways is my choice of the airline of 2006, I'll tell you that.
Amen.
All right, Jay, Shirley, thanks for listening.
Thanks for calling us as well.
Uh short break now.
I'm Roger Hedgecock, info Rush Limbaugh with more after this.
Just as I learned how to properly pronounce the name of the president of Iran.
I now have it down.
It's my mood, I'm in a jihad.
Um the um satirical bead has been drawn on this guy, even by people within Iran.
According to the uh London Sunday Telegraph, satire surrounds Iran's president.
There's a joke making the rounds of the uh Tehran's uh middle class about Santa Claus passing out during a visit to uh the president's house in Tehran.
He was Santa Claus filling an unwashed presidential sock with presents when he was overcome by the smell.
Apparently, apparently, uh there is a whole line of jokes about the president's purported lack of personal hygiene.
And uh text messages and emails full of uh portrayals of him as an ignorant bigoted bumpkin.
And uh this one here's an example they have in the story.
One joke tells of how Osama bin Laden meets uh Mr. I'm in a jihad in hell and finds him dancing with the American singer Jennifer Lopez.
Is this your punishment?
asks bin Laden?
No, the president replies.
It's Jennifer Lopez's punishment.
This is uh some of the uh you know, some of the uh comedy that's going around now, drawing a bead on this guy.
My mood, I'm in a jihad.
Uh we're in a uh jihad for truth, freedom, and the American way here at the Limbaugh Institute for for uh advanced conservative studies.
I want to talk about this polar bear situation when we come back.
