Time Text
The views expressed by the host on this program documented to be almost always right, 99.1% of the time.
I am Rush Limbaugh, America's real anchor man, the doctor of democracy, and America's truth detector, all combined as one harmless, lovable.
Now, what's so funny in there?
One harmless, lovable little fussball, Rush Limbaugh behind a golden EIB microphone.
Okay, folks, time for a straw man alert.
It's a straw man alert whenever Barack Obama gives an interview like he did with the BBC, it's straw man after straw man after straw man, for example.
By the way, uh Mr. Broadcast Engineer stand by audio sound by 345 and blah blah blah in order.
Here is uh an excerpt from the interview.
A series of excerpts from the interview.
And yes, Obama does find a way to apologize for America by saying he will close the mistake known as Guantanamo Bay, despite the fact that Americans two to one don't want it closed.
Okay, in the BBC interview, and they said, why did you give the interview to BBC?
Well, I wanted to reach out.
I wanted to reach out beyond the I mean the state-run media is only good for so much, I guess.
You gotta reach out beyond the state-run media at some point.
I suppose, but the BBC may as well be state-run for all intents and purposes.
U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States cannot impose its values on other countries, but argued that principles like democracy and the rule of law were universal.
Would somebody tell me?
When did we impose our values on anybody?
Well, no, but he said the democracy and the and the rule of law were universal, so that Iraq doesn't count.
Iraq does you see, this is the straw man.
Some of you play Japan, Mithilimbaugh, Japan, we impose our will and Japan.
Uh-uh-a!
Yes, we did.
That's after we kicked their butt in a war.
They lost.
The winner sets the rules.
That's how you get peace is you beat the enemy.
We beat the Germans, we beat the Japanese.
I don't think any Japan Japanese citizen alive today is upset that they have a former democracy and freedom and a wildly successful capitalist economy.
By the way, would somebody explain to me how freedom is an imposition anyway?
How is that an imposition?
Isn't freedom the result of liberation?
So here is a typical Obama straw man argument.
United States can't impose its values on other countries, but democracy and rule of law, there's a universal.
They're not universal in China, they're not universal in North Korea.
They're not universal in parts of Africa, they're not universal in anywhere in the Middle East except Iraq.
But I when did we do it anyway?
In an Hugo Chavez says we impose.
Yeah, but it's the same old argument.
CIA went down there and lopped the heads off of a bunch of dictators.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yahoo.
I'll tell you what's imposed on people is communism, tyranny, socialism.
That's the imposition.
The imposition is dictatorial statism.
All right.
In an interview with the BBC ahead of a first visit to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and then Europe, Obama said the U.S. must lead by example, which firstly meant closing the Guantanamo Bay detention camp at Cuba.
Now, I find this interesting because Club Gitmo is a state-of-the-art resort for captured terrorists.
I have a thriving merchandise business down there.
Should we shutter Guantanamo and open dungeons?
Closing Gitmo's a formal apology?
For what?
I mean, if we're holding people down there unjustly, why won't the rest of the world take them off our hands?
The danger, this is Obama.
Yeah, the danger, I think, is that when the U.S. or any country thinks we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and a different culture, that's not good.
When did we do this?
I'm going to answer that question in a second, because there is an answer.
As far as Obama's talking about, what when did we do this?
What are we talking about?
Did we impose our values when we rebuilt Europe after World War II?
Remember, we can't impose democracy and freedom, he said, because those are universal.
This is the struggle.
We can't impose our values.
Our values are rooted in freedom and democracy.
This guy is a slick son of a gun, but I'm telling you.
He contradicts himself in every sentence he utters.
Did we impose our values on Kuwait?
Afghanistan, Iraq.
I thought the people of those countries created their own constitutions.
See, Obama's the authoritarian here.
If anybody knows about imposing values, it's Barack Obama.
He is the default straw man in every argument.
Who is imposing his values on General Motors?
Who is imposing his values on Wall Street?
Barack Obama.
Who is soon going to impose his values on the Supreme Court?
Barack Obama.
And I think that you would all have to agree with me.
That Barack Obama is sure as hell imposing his values on Israel.
He's telling them to shut down their settlements to stop building new ones.
He's telling them he's getting ready to tell them we've got to have a two-state solution.
He might say, I've heard this, I don't know if it's true.
He might say in his speech on the 4th of June in Egypt that he supposed supports dividing Israel.
I will guarantee you, Barack Obama is imposing his will and his values on Israel.
He is the straw man.
He is his own default straw man argument.
But after all of this, he stressed this.
Democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, those are not simply principles of the West to be hoisted on these countries, but rather what I believe to be universal principles that they can embrace and affirm as part of their national identity.
Really?
Democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
You're going to the Middle East, bud.
They have that there.
Anywhere besides Iraq, do they have it?
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, democracy, rule of law.
Obama said he would be encouraging countries on his trip to promote these values, but then he added, I think the thing we can do most importantly is serve as a good role model.
Oh, okay, so we're going to serve as a good role model for the people of the world by kneecapping the private sector, seizing private property, seizing private sector businesses, and turning it over to political contributors.
Is that the thing we want to encourage?
Is that the image we want to promote?
We want to encourage voter intimidation.
We want to take the example of his group, Acorn, community organizers and vote fraud experts extraordinaire, export those values?
Encouraging countries to uh serve as we serve as a good role model.
Obama as a role model is vote fraud, voter intimidation, community organizing, seizing private sector property, kneecapping the private sector, giving it to political contributors.
What is it?
What's he talking about here with good role model?
And that's why he said closing Guantanamo from my perspective, as difficult as it is, is important.
Yes, we know.
Remaking America is as difficult as it is important.
Very hard work imposing socialism and fascism on a free market economy.
And as a good role model, we take on more debt than we can ever repay.
As a good role model, we begin a worldwide trade war by imposing protectionism on General Motors.
Nothing about what this guy wants to do is worth following.
That is why I said and stand by, I hope Obama fails.
Now I assume all of the Republicans disagreed with me.
Hope Obama succeeds running General Motors.
And they hope he succeeds running banks and running Wall Street.
They hope he succeeds with Sonia Sotomayor and others like her on the U.S. Supreme Court.
I mean, if you say that you want Obama to succeed, that must be what you are for.
And now let's go.
Another phase of the BBC interview.
North American editor Justin Webb talking to President Obama.
He says, You're making the speech in Cairo.
Amnesty International says that there are thousands of political prisoners in Egypt.
How do you address that issue?
Democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, freedom of religion.
Those are not simply principles of the West to be hoisted on these countries, but rather what I believe to be universal principles that they can embrace and affirm uh as part of their national identity.
The danger, I think, is when the United States or any country thinks that we can simply impose these values on another country with a different history and stop the tape a second.
Freedom is not an imposition.
All right, keep going.
Thing that we can do most importantly is serve as a good role model.
And that's why, for example, closing Guantanamo from my perspective as difficult as the tape.
Screw Guantanamo.
How do we serve as a good role model?
We kneecap General Motors, we kneecap Chrysler, we close 4,000 dealers.
We have the government take over private sector businesses.
We raise taxes.
We take away wealth from people who've earned it and redistribute it to losers.
Yes.
Let's serve as a role model for the in fact it's the rest of the failed world that's serving as a role model for Barack Obama.
Socialism has failed.
Fascism has failed.
He's emulating it.
If anybody is falling prey to role models, it's Obama.
And his role models are Alinsky and whatever socialist leaders and dictators around the world that he has been made to idolize.
None of what Barack Obama is doing or wants to do to this country is anything the rest of the world hasn't seen before and already failed at.
is important because part of what we want to affirm to the world is that these are values that are important.
Take it to the break.
I can't handle any more of this.
Just go to the values on the rest of the world, right?
That's what President Obama said.
Sure as hell sounds like the rest of the world can impose their values on us.
They don't like getting.
Oh, we have to shut it down.
They don't like what we've done, fine.
Obama will run around and apologize.
I'm telling you, folks.
It is not the United States of America that serves as Barack Obama's role model.
It's other socialist nations that have failed.
And the concept of socialism that it's his role model.
I tell you what, community organizer.
Organize this.
These values, he talks about universal freedom, democracy.
Why are they universal?
Answer me that sternly.
Why?
Why are freedom and democracy, representative republicanism, why are those universal?
Exactly right.
It's because we have fought with blood, sweat, and tears to make them so.
And many Americans have given their lives for those enduring universal principles that are not worth imposing on anybody, of course.
Our values of freedom just didn't bloom on their own.
Now, freedom is the natural state, I think, of the human as created.
But tyrants, other men as leaders are the ones that curtail and lasso and constrain that freedom.
Universal community organism.
I've had a one more thing here before these sound bites.
I just have the things that keep piling up on me here.
I have one exception to my objection to Sonia Sotomayor.
So I am not retracting that she will bring racism and bigotry to the court if she is confirmed.
However, there might be nitigating factors that might convince me to overlook that.
Well, what do we know about her?
We know she's Catholic.
We also know she has no record on abortion.
I think she did affirm funds for international abortion.
I'm gonna have to have legal beagles look at that.
But Sonia Sotomayor, being Catholic and having not said a word about abortion.
I find that interesting.
All libs who want to go anywhere in liberalism are pro-choice and they make no bones about it.
She hasn't said a word about it, which could mean that her private feelings are she's pro-life.
If I could be convinced that Sonia Sotomayor might be the biggest hope for overturning Roe Vase's Wade down the line, then I might be persuaded uh to look at her nomination in a different light.
I'm serious.
I'm dead serious, I'm dead serious.
Life, preserving life, to me, is a far more important issue.
We can deal with the racism and the bigotry.
That can be canceled out, you know, by other justices and so forth.
But I mean, if you believe in life as I do in the sanctity of life, the more judges on the court we can get that are pro that are pro pro-life and might might look at Roe vs.
Wade as the bad law that it is, and this is an open question about Sonia Sotomayor, because she hasn't said anything about it.
And that's rare for a doctrineer liberal to be silent on this.
She's not silent on any other aspect of liberalism from the multicultural curriculum, but she hasn't done anything officially on abortion.
We know she's Catholic.
Puerto Rican Catholic.
Uh you know, it's it's just something to look at here.
All right, two more Obama sum.
I promise I'm gonna get to you people on the phones here.
Here's Obama on uh Iran.
I I thought the soundbite I played was about Iran.
I uh my mistake, I goofed up.
Here, here are these two sound bites.
This is the BBC interview.
What I do believe is that Iran has legitimate uh energy concerns, yeah, legitimate aspirations.
Yeah, yeah.
Uh on the other hand, the international community has a very real interest in preventing a nuclear arms race in the international community's done diddly squat to stop it.
But hey, they have a legitimate aspiration of nuclear.
Again, we don't.
The Chicoms can build Hummers, we can't.
The mullahs can go nuclear, we can't.
We gotta go windmill.
We gotta go solar, we gotta go junk.
Community organizer crap.
Here's the next bite.
We need to reinvigorate a much broader agenda for nuclear nonproliferation, including the United States and Russia drawing down our stockpiles in very significant ways.
Oh no!
To the extent that uh Iran feels that they are treated differently than everybody else, that makes them embattled.
To the extent that we're having a broader conversation about how all countries stop it.
So we're back to role model stuff.
If we get rid of our nukes, maybe a Mammood Ahmadimizad will.
You know what?
We don't need nukes.
The U.S. and Russia are getting rid of theirs.
If we decide to get rid of our nukes, we'll be the only one getting rid of our nukes.
Yeah, we've got to be a good role model.
This is dangerous.
This guy is dangerous.
Everybody else can nuke up, everybody else can build big cars.
We can't big build cars, and we can't go nuke in terms of power.
By the way, if you go nuke power only, make a deal with us to go nuke power only, you end up with a nuke bomb.
I give you Kim Jong il.
And and what I I misspoke on Sonia Sotomayor and abortion.
She came out, she she affirmed that there should not be U.S. funds for international abortions.
And that is I misspoke.
I said she she did.
I'm gonna have to research this to be sure, but I think she has come out and said there should not be uh U.S. funds, international agencies that that promote abortion.
Now, given that there may be something lurking here beneath the surface that uh that we are all unaware of.
So I on that base, I I could be made to support this nomination.
If I could be convinced, and I don't know if I could be, but if I could be convinced.
She's pro-life.
We'll be back, Steve.
All right, check the email during the break.
Uh Rush, uh, you look like you're really stressed out in there.
I've been watching you on the ditto cam.
Don't let Obama get to you.
Breathe deeply.
Signed Curtis.
Curtis, I'm not stressed out about Obama.
You know, things are flying fast around here, and I you know, I love my Apple Macintosh.
I love it, but there's one.
It is slow to print, except with one program.
I have an RSS reader called uh uh uh uh newsgater, what news wire.
So I got a thing, a page I want to print, I hit command P, it's there.
Dialog box come print, I can print in one and a half seconds.
But from the mail application or any other application in uh OS 10, I'm using uh I'm using Leopard.
Again, the mail program hit command print, one, two, three seconds for the dialogue box, then I hit print, and then the slope is another 15 seconds to print it out.
So 20 seconds to print a stupid document, sometimes 25.
Now, my computer advisor, my IT guy, says that the next version of the April operating system, Snow Leopard, is gonna have this fixed.
I have my doubts.
Yeah, they're gonna streamline the whole operation.
Snow Leopard, really nothing major revolutionary, although that's not probably true either from what I've been reading about it.
But my point is I've got one app where you hit command print, dialogue boxes there, you can literally in two seconds send the document to be printed.
It takes 10 to 15 now with any other app.
So if it does it in one app, why won't it do it in the others?
And my IT guy can't give me an answer.
Says they're gonna fix it in Snow Leopard.
So when you see me gesticulating in here and beaten on something, it's the printer that's right behind me.
When you see me waving my arms, I'm urging the printer to speed it up.
I got a printer here that's slower than the sea turtle escaping lights on my beach.
Okay, now to the phones.
Uh Cameron in Athens, Michigan.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Thank you, Ross.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Thank you, sir.
Everything you do for this country.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I've been a GM customer for 39 years.
The first car I ever bought with a 55 Chevrolet, and I've owned every one of their North American products, but Buick and Hummer over the last 39 years.
I worked for suppliers that have supplied General Motors.
I worked with their engineers.
I found them to be a very professional, uh highly innovative, creative company.
Uh but after tomorrow, my relationship with General Motors will end.
Uh well, I think everybody's relationship with General Motors has ended.
Uh those who continue to buy cars from General Motors are not really buying from General Motors.
We're buying from from from Obama.
Well, I mean, General Motors has had a target on their back for several years.
I mean, if you remember back when Jim was posting record quarterly profits to Democrats and the mainstream media were just vilifying them to no answer.
You know, back when they owned EDS electronic data systems, they bought that from Parode.
They owned Hughes electronics.
They owned, you know, Roger Smith was buying up a lot.
They were really diversified.
Stock price was way up.
Some of the businesses did well, some didn't.
But you're right, they were as big a target as big oil is today.
And you are right.
You are right about the H uh the H2 Hummers being uh, you know, out of reach of Americans because thanks to Democrat inclusion of Wang, which I believe was in an EPA bill a few years back, that ended the civilian version of the H1 Hummer.
We can no longer get them because they were legislated out of existence.
Yeah.
The H1 was closer to the military version.
Exactly.
That's the one Schwarzenegger had was driving around.
Yep.
Well, He might have had one of the first ones that was a uh that was manufactured for retail that was the uh direct uh descendant of the of the military version.
Yep, because he drove a couple of them in his uh movies and he really liked them, so they made one for Yeah, he was driving the kids to school with them when when when Maria wasn't looking.
Yeah.
You know, they're great vehicles, like I say, but uh it's it's too bad because uh this company if left alone and uh like I say, working inside the automotive industry, I don't think people realize how much it costs to bring a new car to the market, everything that is involved.
I mean, they have to crash test hundreds of vehicles prior to that.
I know it's ridiculous.
I know.
It's it's it's it's uh most people don't understand uh most things about businesses they've never worked in.
Well, it's like I say, it's it's too bad.
Uh over regulation since the late 1970s, uh when the first cafe standards are.
All right, but don't tell me.
Tell me again, tell me again why uh your days at buying General Motors are finished.
The biggest reason is because uh after looking at the way Social Security's been run and Medicare and anything that government runs, anything that a government that is run by liberals touches, they destroy it.
And so it's not worth having.
It'll be overpriced and it'll be um completely worth it.
You know what they'll bring back?
Not on purpose.
They'll bring it back due to their incompetence, planned obsolescence.
I swear, when I turned 16 back in 1967, back then, I know what the plan was.
You buy a car, usually you got a three-year loan on the car, and when you're within months of paying it off, the car starts breaking down.
Planned obsolescence, designed that way, so that you trade it in and get a new one.
Then you know, th the the Germans and the Japanese started making cars that didn't break down in three years.
And you didn't have to trade them in as soon.
Now they cost more as a result.
And they're already doing that.
Now what's gonna happen?
Uh yeah, what's gonna planned obsolescence will be back because of the incompetence.
I mean, the guy that's dis dismantling General Motors is a Yale almost law school graduate, who may not have ever even been inside a dealership.
Much less a factory.
Thirty-one year old guy.
Thanks for the call out there, uh uh Cameron, appreciate it.
Mary in uh Inverness, Illinois.
You're next on the EIB network.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
It is an honor to speak to you.
We love you because you speak the truth.
Thank you very much.
Um just a humble point about Sonia Sodemeyer.
I think it's just delicious irony that she comes from a government funded housing project, and that seems to be the biggest thing that they're bragging about her.
Well, they're Richard Richard Cohen in the Washington Post yesterday, but notice she didn't thank the government for making her who she is.
It was something she had to overcome because she came out of the projects, which is a government idea, a government-funded uh something that's supposed to help somebody, but it seems to be the biggest product they're putting out there about her is that she overcame this gift from the government calls the housing project.
Yeah, it's one way of looking at it.
It is ironic.
Yeah.
Well, I i it's still it's it's worth making the point that even whether whether she came out of there or had to overcome it, the point is she didn't credit it at all.
She credited her parents.
She tr she credited conservative traditional conservative values, hard work, self-reliance.
All these libs that get appointed to things.
Hell, even Biden, you remember Biden and his acceptance speech at a Democrat committee or convention?
How his mom told him to go beat people up that made fun of him, and don't just hit him back, hit them in the nose.
Joe Biden, whose own kids learn conflict resolution by bending over grabbing the ankles in school.
They never ever suggest anybody else followed their path to success.
They assume that nobody else has got the guts, got the ability or the competence to follow their path.
Uh where are we going next on the phones?
Uh better put on the glasses.
This name looks unfamiliar.
Suddy, it is Sudy in Mannequin, Virginia.
Hi, welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Rash.
I'm another American mom, so I'm by definition an optimist.
And I could not figure out for the life of me why Sonia Sotomayor's comments about Latino women being better at judges than a white male bugged me so much.
It kept me up all night.
I went and read her the text that was in the on the internet.
And what it what arcs me about it is I I I've gone through my whole life, and affirmative action has been part of my experience, not for me personally, but it was an experience in college.
It was there when I applied for different schools, things like that.
And I understood that.
For me, that was uh a way to level the playing field to a certain extent.
But her comments pick me off.
And you want you want me to answer the question?
Well, the the right I answered it myself.
Can I share it?
Yeah.
It's because she is telling my two incredible boys who happen to be loving, smart, faculty, hardworking white boys, that they can never, ever, no matter how hard they work, no matter what empathy they exhibit, they can never be as good as she is at something.
And I wouldn't accept that from a teacher, I wouldn't accept that from a coach, I wouldn't accept that from a politician, and I definitely wouldn't accept it from somebody that plans on making policy from the bench.
That is an interesting point.
Uh I hadn't actually looked at it from that perspective, but if you have if you are white and you are married to a white spouse, the odds are your kids are white.
It's not guaranteed, but the odds are they are.
So if you have white kids, and you listen to Sotomayor say she, as a Latina, is better than white kids.
If white kids just think, well, I can't be as good.
That's an interesting perspective.
I hadn't looked at it.
But I'll tell you where it comes from.
It comes from the way she was educated.
And it comes from the way she was brought up.
I guarantee you, even if she wasn't brought up this way, by the time she got to high school, she started in on multicultural curricula, and she heard about the evil white Europeans that brought all the pestilence and all the discrimination and all the hardship, all the disease.
They destroyed the environment.
They did all of this stuff, and she gets to college and she hears even more of it.
And she believes that to the same extent that those of us who believe in the in the uh the sheer miracle of our founding believe in that.
That's what she was taught Obama too.
That's what Obama was taught.
Obama was taught by angry people.
Sotomayor was taught by angry people.
She was trained to hate majorities.
No, well, one majority.
She was trained to be suspicious of them.
She was trained to believe this country's unjust and immoral.
And uh to throw feminism in the mix, and you've got a poisoned soul.
And that's who she is.
We'll be back after this.
Can't touch this.
At least not legally in any way.
A bunch of books are coming out uh about the 2008 campaign.
One of these books is by a former newsweek reporter, Richard Wolfe.
What's the title of this book?
Oh, yeah, Renegade the Making of a President.
Richard Wolf, former news report newsweek reporter, and there's this little ditty with a D. Little Ditty in the book.
His wife is now Obama's Secretary of State, but Obama had some tough words for the actions of former president Bill Clinton during the campaign.
Obama said to the author of the book, we had to figure out how to deal with a former president who was just lying, engaging in bald-faced lies.
When the then candidate Obama was asked if Clinton got in his head, he replied, yeah, but I got it in his too.
Later, when considering who to name is his running mate, Obama told AIDS that if Hillary Clinton would help politically, she ought to be considered.
But I'm concerned about Bill Clinton being a loose canon.
It's in a book about the 2008 campaign.
Richard Wolfe, no longer part of the state-run media.
He used to be part of state-run media, but I guarantee you this book's gonna be a puff piece.
Besides, what's Clinton gonna do?
He's been sent to Haiti.
He's the envoy to Haiti.
And Hillary's out there, you know what Hillary's doing?
She's been so marginal.
She's not dealing with anything substantive.
Hillary's around trying to spread gay rights to countries around the world.
That's what she's doing.
That's a far cry from what secretaries of state have done in the past.
Jay in Norfolk, Virginia.
Hello, sir.
Great to have you on the EIB network.
Hey, Rush, how are you doing?
Good.
My question is with the Chrysler and GM downfall going bankrupt.
Now they're dump now they're dumping dealerships.
Dealerships are independently owned.
What purpose or sense would that make whether they sell one unit or a hundred units a month?
I mean, they still employ people, which they won't be after they're told they have they can't sell anymore.
See, this is an interesting question to me because here let's look at the Obama business plan.
Let's take it from top to bottom.
First thing you do is you take over these companies.
After you take them over, you then put somebody in charge to dismantle them who doesn't even probably know how to turn a car on.
Much less use a blinker.
And if so, probably never been in a factory.
So then they dismantle it, and one of the decisions they make is we're going to stop making cars that people want, and we're going to make cars that people don't want, but we're going to force them into because we need to save the planet because America's destroying it.
Then, after doing all that, after after deciding to build cars that historically people have rejected, they then close.
It's about 2,000 dealerships for Chrysler and 2,000 in general close.
How many?
No, it's more than that.
It's going to be a total of 2100 before they're through with Chrysler's.
It's about 4,000 dealerships that are going to close total, which means it's going to be harder to go get one of these cars.
Plus, they employ an average of about 100 people per dealership.
Well, that's how many unemployed people.
I think it's a little lower than that, 50.
But you're you regardless, they've thrown out of work and the decisions as to which dealerships to shut down appears to also be political.
People are studying it, can't confirm it yet.
But and then I left out a phrase.
Obama slashed Chrysler's ad budget in half.
So you're going to build cars that people don't want, historically have said they don't want.
You're going to cut the advertising budget, which lets people know the cars exist, and then you're going to close a lot of the dealerships, which are going to make the cars hard to find.
Now, would somebody explain this business model to me?
This sounds like a business model designed to fail.
You got a new line of cars that nobody wants.
You got to get them in the car to save the planet.
But then you cut the advertising in half so people are going to be less aware of the new cars.
And then the place they go to buy one may not be there.
They may have to, you know, may need meal money for the road trip to get to the dealership.
None of this makes any sense.
And his point about dealerships being independently owned, he's right about that.
I mean, they have ties to the to the manufacturer.
Uh, but I don't know, dealerships are not manufacturer owned.
That is that is a curious point.
I uh this the way a community organizer does it, folks.
That's the only way to understand it.
Remember when Obama changed his mind and said he was not gonna reveal and release the uh detainee photos that showed outlandish examples of torture.
It turns out that the reason he uh changed his mind was Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned that Iraq would erupt with violence, and that Iraqis would demand that U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq a year earlier than planned if Obama released those pictures.
So the Iranians, I'm sorry, the Iraqis imposed their values on us.
And if if if that's the way I would like to get hold of Maliki and say, I got a couple other things I want you to suggest to Obama.
See you tomorrow, folks.
