Time Text
Hey, I've just I'm just looking at all the pictures of all the winter that is going on out there.
Couldn't be time better for Al Gore's stupid movie.
It happens to him all.
He goes out there, gets his movie showed, bunch of gullible little skulls full of mush in the schools, and in winter breaks out in a in in a full force in places that don't usually get winter.
Anyway, greetings, welcome back.
It's Rush Limbaugh on the EIB network.
Here's the number 800 28282 email address rush at EIBNet.com.
Now, here the last story on global warming here, and this is this is about Prince Charles, and this is the kind of arrogance I know he thinks of himself as a leader, and he's got to set an example in all this, and he probably believes this, but this is this is to me is just is just it's just arrogance and idiocy combined.
Prince Charles is to fly to New York, booking the entire first class and business class section of a jumbo jet for his entourage of about twenty.
He's making the trip to pick up an award for his work on the environment.
During the trip, he plans to emphasize the importance which the British government places on climate change is a key international priority.
And to undermine his uh underline, rather, actually it does undermine it, but to underline his commitment to reducing his carbon footprint, meaning the amount of pollution he personally is responsible for on his flight.
He is to travel by scheduled flight instead of a chartered or private jet.
But he and his twenty strong party will travel exclusively in the first and club class sections, where there are a total of 62 seats.
So 42 seats are not going to be occupied.
And he thinks that his footprint is going to be smaller, his pollution footprint.
What it means, though, in reality is if you want to look at it, I think this is absurd no matter how you look at it.
I mean the jet is going to make the trip regardless who's on it.
But common sense seems to have no place when talking about this issue.
By having 42 empty seats in his jumbojet section.
Their effective carbon footprint is three times what it would be if every seat was used.
And the short return trip to New York will result uh uh in the emphasis or the emission of 24 tons of carbon dioxide.
To offset this, the prince would need to pay 177 pounds to plant trees.
So bec the the reason the way this is calculated is that these 42 seats that would be occupied are gonna have to be occupied on another jet.
But the those jets are gonna make the trip anyway to sit there and calculate your personal carbon footprint is just nuts.
This is this is the this is the famous Laurie David uh rationale.
Laurie David drives around in a Prius and thinks that she's saving all this uh environmental pollution, then she'll get on her husband's G five, well, probably hers, get her G five with uh two or three people to fly from LA to New York with all those empty seats, and totally wipe out whatever so-called carbon savings she is uh making by driving her little Prius.
But this is how these people convince themselves they are good people, and that they care, and that they're showing how it'll do it right.
They'll be writing an example.
When all these jets are gonna be making these trips anyway, whether people on them or not, it's just the whole thing is it's just absurd.
This is uh next story is sort of bubbled up out there.
Katie Couric on her blog yesterday talked about how she went, do you hear about this?
She went to the White House for a briefing on some thing with all the other anchors and journalists and so forth.
And she writes this.
But of the people at the table, the principals in this meeting, I was the only one wearing a skirt.
Everyone was gracious, though the jocular atmosphere Was palpable.
Now, got me to wondering, does she not know what jocular means?
Do you know what I think she meant?
She was the only girl sitting around a bunch of jocks, a bunch of guys.
And then she thinks the jocular at was palpable.
Does she not know that jocular means levity?
When I first read this, oh, that the how in the world can the levity be palpable?
How can the good time be?
She has to obviously think that she was she was and she spells it correctly.
I mean, jock is spelled with a K. Jocular is not.
The meeting was a reality check for me, and not just about Iraq.
It was a reminder that all of us still have an obligation to ask, don't more women deserve a place at the table too.
I did little research.
You know what I found?
I found that there are less stories given to female reporters on the CBS Evening News since she took over.
The number of female reported stories are down like 40% since Katie took over.
This CBS evening news, and it's exactly right.
It is consistent with the Queen Bee syndrome.
Katie would be just fine with the other networks hiring babes, but she's not going to put powerful babes around her that would provide some sort of uh of competition.
But okay, so she's the first, and she's already complaining she's the only, and talking about how far we still have to go with all this.
Just love the way these people think.
It just it's it's amazing it's amazing to me, folks, that this stuff sells, that people still are persuaded by this, but I know why.
It's because it, you know, we got a bunch of emotionally oriented pacifists out there who simply, oh yes, she's so right.
She's so right.
And you know, we we we do need more women.
It's just so unfair.
It's so unfair.
Get this next one.
Ladies and gentlemen.
We know that uh Kucinich out there talking about the fairness doctrine.
There is an ethics bill, though, before the Senate.
And the ethics bill before the Senate not only cracks down on lawmakers, but it also subjects politically active ministers and neighborhood groups to the same rules as K Street lobbyists.
Under the legislation, grassroots organizations that attempt to influence the general public to contact members of Congress would have to register as lobbyists and file financial reports or face a $200,000 fine.
The requirements could also apply to a preacher who goes on television or radio and tells listeners to call their congressmen in support of a particular issue.
It also requires, ladies and gentlemen, bloggers who have over 500 readers to register as lobbyists, and subjects them to the same fine.
Basic, you know what this is?
This is an extension of McCain Feingold.
McCain Feingold, if you want to boil it down to its bare essence, was to penalize people and prevent them from criticizing Congress.
That's what it was.
That's of course it's unconstitutional.
McCain Feingold, First Amendment violation.
But its purpose was to make sure that incumbents were not criticized at certain points prior to elections.
This is the same thing.
Now, bloggers, ministers, and grassroots groups have to register, much as lobbyists do.
And if they say thing, if they go out there and advocate calling Congress or trying to influence opinion, then they can be subject to fines.
Since the shut up bill, it's you can't criticize us.
This is your United States Senate saying we have just passed in our ethics bill, the ethics bill designed to limit our ethical abuses.
We're going to include you in it.
You can't criticize us.
If you do, you pay.
It's not just the fairness doctrine.
It's all over.
These people don't want to be criticized.
They don't want to have to deal with it.
And it's some of it's ideological, but some of it isn't.
Some of it is just the way power.
People with power end up reacting when they become in their own minds all powerful and want to continue to hold on to it and don't want to be challenged.
Back after this.
Would you believe it if I told you there was politics on ESPN yesterday?
I would believe it too if I told it to myself, even though when I was there, it was taboo.
This is yesterday on Pardon the Interruption.
The co-host Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser were talking to Mike Ditka, the former coach of De Bears and also of the New Orleans Saints.
Wilbunt said, you toyed with running for the Senate against Barack Obama a few years ago.
He's running for president now.
has been very clear about picking the Bears.
Has it seemed risky for you, for him to go out?
I don't think he'd go out on a limb, but he went out, came right out publicly, and picked the Bears.
You don't get me in politics now, do you?
I met a guy in the street corner the other day.
He's going to file a run for president, too.
That's okay.
Anyone can take a shot at it.
I got none against Obama.
I my goodness.
Nobody would know who he was if I were Iran.
Nobody would have known who Obama is if Ditka would have run for the Senate.
Next question from Kornheiser.
Well, you should declare right now for something.
You want to declare for any office right now?
I declare for the United States of America.
I'm an American and I'm proud.
I don't want to hear all this old jumbo mumble.
We're a bad country.
We got this wrong, that wrong.
I love the country.
Period.
The good overweighs the bad by far.
And if people don't understand it, get the heck out.
Mike Ditka, on pardon the interruption yesterday from Chicago.
You can always count on Ditka.
What he's talking about, what the first question about Obama picking the Bears.
Here's Obama running for the presidency.
You've got the New Orleans Saints, which are the United States Saints.
They're out of New Orleans, and of course, Katrina is a political tool, the Democrat Party.
And he Obama didn't just go Homer on us and pick his own team, the Bears.
He dissed New Orleans and the Saints.
He said they don't have a prayer.
Their fantasy comes to an end.
I maintain this represent this is dividing the country.
Here's a guy who patently portrays himself as as a uniter.
And he was dividing and using the poor people of New Orleans.
Their whole sense of self-esteem revolves around the Saints.
And here's Obama, the great compassionate understand Godlike to the godless.
Just telling the godless in New Orleans he ain't gonna be their godlike figure.
Speaking of Obama, this is interesting.
The AP has started a miniature anal exam of Obama.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama may have a lot of explaining to do.
He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.
May I read that to you again?
He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.
Can you picture this?
Some doctor attempts to abort the fetus.
It lives.
Obama does not want the surviving aborted fetus attempted to get any medical care.
It must die, even if it survives the abortion.
Waylon Clintons get hold of this one.
He also supported allowing retired police officers to carry concealed weapons, but opposed allowing people to use banned handguns to defend against intruders in their homes.
And the list of sensitive topics goes on.
With only a slim two-year record in the U.S. Senate, Obama doesn't have many controversial congressional votes, which political opponents can frame into attack ads, but his eight years as an Illinois State Senator are sprinkled with potentially explosive landmines, such as his abortion and gun control votes.
Well, maybe we're talking about primaries here, but I'm telling you this.
This guy is a full-fledged, card-carrying, down-the-wall liberal.
You know what his biggest problem may end up being?
Don't know, but it do you this guy is a huge smoker.
Did you know that?
He's got it's what?
Well, of course he keeps it out of public, but he still smokes.
For what I understand, he smokes a lot.
And I got two soundbites.
Grab soundbites 13 and 14.
I keep telling the broadcast engineer we're going back soundboard for some about four or five, seven.
I haven't gotten there since the first hour.
Up first is uh uh the Manhattan Institute's John McWerter.
This is on uh uh Fox News channel, a big story with John Gibson yesterday, and also uh young Democrats of America, Malia Lazou.
Uh Gibson says, Obama's dirty little secret, he's a cigarette smoker.
Question is would you vote for a smoker as president?
John, is that that that kind of an impediment for him?
Obama has seen us so very, very cool.
I think a lot of people find him sexy, and I think even in today's America, there's a sense that there's something vaguely sexy about cigarettes you've got fire in your hand.
Now, I love John McWerder, and I John McWerder is brilliant, but where has he been?
Is anybody portraying cigarette smoking as sexy?
Well, Holly, Hollywood does.
Hollywood, and and I've you know, it it it does.
I I'm gonna I'm sure I'm gonna infuriate some of you people, but it looks cool.
I mean, people who know how to smoke cigarettes look cool.
Why do you think Hollywood does it?
They're freaking out in there on the other side of the glass.
They are for Don's face is tearing four sheets of red.
I'm not talking about it is cool.
I'm saying it can be made to look cool.
Why do you think which quote why do you think Hollywood does it?
Why do you think um movies?
Why do you think kids end up trying it?
It looks cool.
They make it look cool.
We have it's one of the big seductive seductive uh problems with it.
And this guy's defectively saying it here.
He's saying there's something vaguely sexy about cigarettes.
You've got fire in your hand, and now that's what he's saying is Obama can make smoking sexy.
What if Obama is seen smoking in public and it is said because nobody wants to criticize him because he's above criticism, because he's a godlike figure to the godless, and you don't criticize gods or godlike figures.
What if the whole anti-smoking bunch has to come out because they're a bunch of libs too, has to find a way to justify Obama's coolness.
Because he's got fire.
If he's got fire in his hands, what has he got in his pants?
You know, here all of these things.
Here is uh here is uh uh what's her name?
Uh uh Malia Lazu.
And Gibson says, what do you think about Obama's secret?
I think Americans will be happy that his vice doesn't lead him to pages or to choking his mistress.
I mean, all humans have vice, and he has one, but what Americans want is they want to change and they want that hope that Obama sparks in people.
So smoking, we have been told, is hideous.
It is deathly, it kills.
We've got Nazis uh like smoke laws in New York City.
Can't smoke.
We're trying to get smoking driven out of people's homes in various parts of the country.
And yet, when it's revealed that the godlike Obama, godlike to the godless, Barack Obama smokes, why, it's just a vice.
And why everybody has these vices.
And of course, Americans will be happy the way these people think.
Americans will be happy that his vice doesn't lead him to pages or to choking his mistress.
I can just see this now.
The American people, you know who you are.
You're all American, but you'll learn that Obama smokes, and he's a first reaction.
Well, gosh, I'm so glad that he doesn't mess around with the pages, to be happy about and who, by the way, choked their mistress.
What I can't place it.
Uh oh, the guy he beat for the Senate?
No, no.
That no, no, no.
Alan, that would be Alan Keyes.
Alan Keys didn't choke anybody, but himself.
Oh, that's what The guy that had a drop out, meaning Keyes had to go.
The Republican choked his mistress.
Yeah.
That's right.
That's how they release the divorce files and so forth to screw the guy.
The Republican.
They went the divorce files went publicly revealed he had choked his mistress.
And so you can't make that look cool.
You can make smoking look cool, but you can't, you can't make choking your mistress look cool.
Obama could.
But nobody else.
Back in just a moment.
That's what we do here.
We make the complex understandable.
I am L. Rushbow, America's real anchor man.
America's truth detector, the doctor of democracy, all-knowing, all seeing, all caring, all concerned.
Maha Rushi.
I got an email note from a friend reacting to Katie Couric saying that she was the only one wearing a skirt that White House press briefing.
He said, how does she know the others don't wear skirts?
Just not in public.
And then about her comments, my comment that uh female reporters, the female reported stories on the CBS Evening News are down 40% since she ascended the throne there.
Said, yeah, that's uh this is a problem.
We want more female reporters, preferably with large breasts.
It's just a guy being a guy.
Am I speaking of all this, by the way, speaking of choking your mistress?
Story here from Las Vegas in the world of on-demand viewing of sexually explicit material, the next step could be the ability to watch live performers from the privacy of a hotel room.
Sex on demand on TV.
Live sex on demand could be coming to hotel televisions.
That was one topic during a panel discussion in Vegas at Internext, an annual trade show for sex entertainment industry producers and marketers and payment processors.
We feel that live right now, that's that's coming of age, said Gregory Clayman, uh, the owner of the live action company Video Secrets.
We're planning to make the jump to hotel rooms.
He said that as television sets and computers merge into the same appliance, he saw no reason that live action sex would not get a place in on-demand services in hotels.
Some existing website get this.
I'm such an old fogey.
I read this and I was shocked.
And apparently this is just it's been out there in a pipeline evolving here, and it's getting to point of reality.
But get this.
Some existing websites already allow customers to send text messages to the live sex performers saying, do this.
No, no, no, I'm not the technology.
I'm not talking the technology, snurdly.
I live sex on your TV.
You you you know about been doing it on the web for ten years.
Well, forgive me for not knowing.
Forgive me for not being aware of this kind of absolute perversion and debauchery.
I wouldn't know about this until Obama did it.
And if Obama did it, he could make it look cool.
Anyway, back to the phones.
Uh, Steve in Colorado Springs, thanks for waiting, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Master Limbaugh.
Teradiddos on every single subject across the board that flips off your glorious tongue, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Hey, um, I I'm a financial investor, and uh uh getting back on the subject with the the media and stuff um that you were on earlier uh in the program.
Um I'm on the news all day long, every single day.
And for the last couple of weeks I've noticed something pretty peculiar, and I don't know if you've noticed it.
Well, um, you know, I'm I'm uh I don't know if it's because uh that uh some at or what's his name?
The dictator in Iraq.
I forgot that bug's name.
Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein, right, good, very good memory.
Or if because the Democrats have taken over Congress, but I'm not seeing the doom and the gloom and the the despair in the news over the past two weeks that I've seen from the drive-by media.
No, because it has transferred to the United States Senate.
They have taken over the job of portraying doom and gloom in Iraq with this silly little resolution that they're trying to pass.
Just in an interview last night, I guess it was this morning, Chuck Hagel and Soledad O'Brien, and she kept talking about the death count.
There may not have been as many pictures of blown up trucks and burning bodies and so forth.
There was a story just the other day about what was the 400 Iraqis died or 30 Iraqis were blown away in some.
Yeah, and there were some today, MSNB, PMSMBC, excuse me.
But you're somebody else is really.
You are observing that the entire impact, the whole impact is down.
They're not really showing as much mayhem and uh destruction on a daily basis as frequently.
Right.
You know, I hate it when a caller says uh caller calls and I have to say, I don't know.
But I don't watch this garbage anymore.
I mean, it's on here when I'm at work.
I can't tell you the last time I had a news network on at home.
And from December 22nd until I came back here on January the third, I did not see any news broadcast anywhere, any place on television.
And I I I I can't tell you how long I don't even I don't even turn this stuff on at night.
Because frankly, folks, it just I don't believe it.
I'm watching bias.
I'm watching agendas.
And I don't care to.
So I find a way to inform myself in other ways.
And I don't I don't care what these people are doing anymore.
I couldn't care less what happens on hardball.
I couldn't care less what happens anyway.
I couldn't care less what happens on Scarborough or any of these other shows.
I could not care less.
I and when people tell me what happens, I delete the email, get sick and tired.
I don't want to read about it.
Don't want to hear it.
Because I know.
I already know.
I know they're going nuts.
They're practically having on-air orgasms over Obama.
I know that Chris Matthews is about to start cursing.
He can't, he's he's gonna lose control here.
He's so excited about the Libby trial, so excited.
I don't want to I don't care.
So this is a long way around telling you, I don't know if the coverage has changed.
All I know is that the Democrats have not changed their attitude about us losing, nor has the media.
If there is less coverage of the atrocities or the so-called atrocities in Iraq, then there is a reason for it.
And it's either that there is less of it, and there's more good news they don't want to report, or as I suspect, the doom and gloom has transferred to the U.S. Senate, where the Democrats are providing more of it than war footage can, which I suspect to be, of course, joined by seven cowardly Republicans, uh, which is very exciting.
I mean, that's as exciting to the media when Republicans abandon their own party as when an IED blows up in Baghdad.
In fact, it may even be more exciting.
I'll tell you what.
You've seen the story about Castro and why he's in the condition he's in.
This is justice.
Fidel Castro himself told his surgeons not to perform a colostomy.
Instead, he had diverticulitis.
That's not good, but it did be treated to be dealt with.
They have to take out portion of the colon.
Large intestine for those of you in uh in Rio Linda.
Uh and but you've got a colostomy bag there once in this.
It's not, you know, it's not the best way, but it's a way to live.
And Castro didn't want a colostomy bag.
And so he told the brilliant surgeons in Havana to just sew his colon back to the rectum.
Well, the it didn't work, and he ended up with feces and and and other fluid just totally infected uh abdominal cavity and it spread, and there have been three operations total to fix this, and there is this is a grave condition.
But the interesting part of the story here is is that they are blaming Castro on this botch.
They're claiming he wanted this.
This is probably a way so they won't get shot.
You know, here's the supreme leader, and you goof up, and this is standard.
Every surgeon that has been talked to about this story says, you always go the colostomy route.
You can't resow.
You can't start doing this because it's not going to hold up.
Castro didn't want the embarrassment of the bag, so he said you do it that way, and now it didn't work.
And of course, the brilliant, the brilliant, the brilliant, the brilliant healthcare system in Havana that we've all heard about.
You guys, have you forgotten Spielberg went over and had dinner with Castro?
Most important eight hours of my life.
And then Jack Nicholson went over there, talked to Castro.
Not recently years back.
I just spent time with a genius.
The Hollywood left and their fascination with totalitarian dictator slime is just amazing to behold.
But anyway, the brilliant Canadian or Cuban healthcare system failed the Supreme Leader.
However, a Cuban diplomat in Madrid said Tuesday that all of this is an invented story.
It's another lie, and we're not going to talk about it.
If anyone has to talk about Castro's illness, it's Havana.
That's the Spaniards that are doing this.
Spanish newspaper País has uh released all this.
All right, a uh let's see, brief time out.
We're going to get audio soundbite four and five and six when we come back.
Stay with us.
Okay, time for a correction.
It was not Barack Obama's opponent who choked his mistress.
What happened in that case, Obama's opponent in Illinois that dropped out, wanted his wife to engage in kinkiness, sex clubs, having his wife perform while he watched.
Guy's name was Ryan.
Uh it was the guy who lost in Pennsylvania, I think Don Sherwood, who was accused of choking.
Well, he admitted it.
Um choked his mistress.
So not that a mistress wasn't choked, we just chalked it up to the wrong guy.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling Hillary, those of you in Clinton camp, I'm you had better get your act together.
Listen to this.
Justice is the latest from AP.
Just because New York's former state controller is backing Hillary, doesn't mean that Barack Obama can't call.
Carl McCall said today that Obama is trying to make inroads on Clinton's home turf, and he was among the Democrats to hear from Obama.
Uh Carl McCall ran for governor in 2002, but a DNC sold him out.
Uh it was the state's first black candidate for governor from a major political party, but the DNC sold him out.
We raised more money for him than the DNC gave him.
While McCall said that he was sticking with Clinton, I mean, of course he will.
Uh he likes whatever, but the Obama thing is interesting, maybe even exciting.
I think will appeal to a lot of people.
McCall said he planned to meet with Obama.
Uh, has been reaching out, coming to New York soon, wants to meet with some people.
I mean, this is twice as moving in now on Hillary's turf.
This is fascinating to watch.
And on December 5th, Newsweek magazine touted an interview with the incoming House Committee on Intellibance Intelligence Chairman, Silvestre Reyes, as an exclusive and for good reason.
In a surprise twist in the debate over a rock story began, Mr. Reyes said that he wants to see an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. troops.
It's back in December 5th, as part of a stepped-up effort to dismantle the militias.
We have to consider the need for additional troops to be in Iraq, he said, to take out the militias, stabilize the country.
I'd say 20 to 30,000 more.
Then President Bush came up with his announcement last week, virtually matching Reyes' recommendation.
And wouldn't you know, hours after Bush announced the proposal, Reyes told the El Paso Times that such a troop buildup was unthinkable.
Just a month and a half later, he's totally changed his mind just because of a Bush idea.
So we have examples of this.
Vulture politics.
If Bush is for it, they're against it, even if they used to be for it.
Here are the first two examples.
October 3rd, 2004, late edition, Chris Dodd.
This is the famous audio soundbite number four that we uh certainly.
I think today people realize here that uh that the number of troops we have there, given the magnitude of the problem, given the problems we're facing, uh, probably has to be increased.
Okay, that's Chris Dodd, October 3rd, 2004, said we got to have more troops.
But last night on PBS, the news hour with Jim O'Lara.
Gwen Eiffel said, is increasing a number of troops on the ground uh the best chance for success.
I don't think it is at all.
The idea that further military escalating military involvement is going to produce the desired results will work.
I'm very much opposed to it.
Okay, so we're gonna go ahead and play these two back to back.
The first play four and five back to back.
Number four is from October 3rd of 2004.
The next cut number five is from last night.
Certainly, I think today people realize here that uh that the number of troops we have there, given the magnitude of the problem, given the problems we're facing, uh probably has to be increased.
I don't think it is at all.
The idea that further military, escalating military involvement is going to produce the desired results will work.
I'm very much opposed to it.
What is this remind you of?
The thing it reminds me of first and foremost is how in 98, when Clinton was talking about how Saddam was such a horrible guy and it was working on WMDs and everything.
Every Democrats, we got to get on board with this.
We gotta stop this.
Bush comes along and says it, and it's like they never said it.
Bush lied, people died.
Up next, Joe Biden.
Same thing.
November 11th, 2003, on hardball, Matthews said, Senator, do you think we need more troops in Iraq?
Because we haven't won the war yet.
Everybody talks about winning the peace.
We haven't won the war yet.
There's a real counterinsurgency out there.
It's genuine, it's made up of forces.
It is more than just outside forces, more than al Qaeda, and we have to stamp it out.
And we need more forces.
There are not enough forces there.
Yesterday, same man, press club, yeah, press conference on Capitol Hill.
Mr. President, do not send more troops.
It'd have the exact opposite impact you intend.
Okay, let's play these back to back.
First, number six, then number seven, Biden from November November of uh two thousand three, and then yesterday.
Because we haven't won the war yet.
Everybody talks about winning the peace.
We haven't won the war yet.
There's a real counterinsurgency out there.
It's genuine.
It's made up of forces.
It is more than just outside forces, more than al Qaeda, and we have to stamp it out.
And we need more forces or not the forces there.
Mr. President, do not send more troops.
It'd have the exact opposite impact you intend.
Why would anybody trust these people are not interested in what works?
In fact, they're probably being honest, more honest back in their previous statements than they are today.
But it's just oppose Bush, oppose Bush, oppose Bush.
Finally, Mrs. Clinton.
She said this December 7th, 2000 2003, with George Stephanopoulos on his Sunday morning program.
What I have said is that I do think we need more troops.
Yesterday she unveiled her big plan at a press conference on Capitol Hill.
Rather than an escalation of U.S. troops, which I do not believe will contribute to long-term success in Iraq.
We should be beginning a phased redeployment of U.S. troops as a way to put pressure on the Iraqi government to take responsibility for its own security and future.
