Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Right.
That's it.
That's how it happened.
Hillary.
It's it's always comes down to Hillary.
I have never seen a woman so dumped on by men in my life.
I have never seen a woman take the blame for more screw ups by men in my life.
I mean, we're talking dormat here.
We're talking dormant and supposed feminist leader.
Hi, folks.
How are you?
Oh, it's wonderful to be here.
Here we are on the day of debate too.
And we'll have uh we'll have thoughts on that coming up.
Great to have you here, Rush Limbaugh behind the golden EIB microphone, telephone number 800 282-2882, and the email address lrushball at eIBNet.com.
Now if you listen very carefully to what Hillary said, she flew off to Peru to take the hit.
If you listen very carefully to what she said, you will notice that while she took responsibility, she did not accept any blame.
And in the world these people live in, you parse words that precisely that's significant.
She didn't take the blame.
She said, quote, I'm responsible for the State Department for the more than 60,000 people around the world.
The decisions about security are made by security professionals.
So in other words, Hillary said she didn't make any of these bad decisions that led to the consulate not being able to defend itself.
The security professionals did.
That's taking responsibility Clinton style.
She takes a heat off of Barry, President Kardashian, but she doesn't take the blame.
Here's what she said.
This is yesterday interview with Mrs. Clinton correspondent Alisa Labitt was on CNN Piers Morgan tonight.
I take responsibility.
I'm in charge of the State Department.
60,000 plus people all over the world, 275 posts.
The president and the vice president uh certainly wouldn't be uh knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals.
They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a uh considered decision.
It seems like she talking to Big Bird.
Is the security professionals?
Okay.
Okay, so Hillary's responsible like Janet Reno was responsible for the Waco invasion.
But ladies and gentlemen, I have a question.
Who created the lie about the video?
And why did Hillary peddle that lie?
She appeared in an ad running in Pakistan, a television ad spreading the myth that it was the video.
So who created the lie about the video and why did Hillary pedal it?
She stated it clearly and definitively, and for a week that was their story.
And why did it take her so long to step up here?
Are we re do they really think that we are this stupid?
They do.
And remember now, this is a move made to the morons.
I mean, that's that's the Obama constituency.
Okay, so after all this, after all the pressure, she finally flies to Peru and says, I take responsibility, not the blame.
I'm in charge here.
Four people dead, and it happened on my watch, but I didn't do it, and Obama didn't do it, and Susan Rice didn't do it.
Well, Susan Rice might have she might have thrown her another under the bus.
But who told her about the video?
Who created the lie about the video?
This goes right to the top.
That goes to Obama, that goes to the White House.
We all know why.
Obama wanted to create this impression that Al Qaeda had been vanquished.
He's at the convention, and they mentioned 21 times that Osama bin Laden is dead and GM's still alive.
Osama's dead, Al Qaeda has been vanquished.
The last thing you can have anybody think is that Al Qaeda's alive and kicking and doing dirty deeds anywhere in the world, particularly in Libya.
of the video.
Are they going to let this guy out of jail now?
Are they going to let the Coptic Christian filmmaker out of jail?
No.
No way.
No way, because they want that as their fallback.
That video is going to be part of the reason why the security people had so much trouble.
But who told her about the video?
Who put that story out?
Who orchestrated this cover-up?
Because that's exactly what happened here.
Now will she be fired?
Or is it okay to turn down security requests in the most dangerous part of the world?
I mean, they turned down the requests.
We know that the requests were made.
We know the requests were turned down.
And the reason the requests for added security were turned down, folks, is because we couldn't.
Well, I say we, the regime could not do anything to acknowledge there was a security threat.
The security request happened in a vacuum.
There was no way the world was going to know that there was any problem there.
If Obama had anything to do about it.
So this video, they lived with that for a week, ten days.
Where did he hear about the video?
Did he tell Hillary?
Did Hillary tell him?
Who started this video story?
Who told Susan Rice about the video?
Who sent her out on television all over the place?
She's not even in the chain of command here.
She was doing obviously political cover by making that statement all over TV.
Did Obama jet off to Las Vegas without meeting with the intelligence officials?
I mean, there's so much passing the buck in this regime and in this administration.
But let's let's go back.
Some of you uh listening to this program now might be a little foggy what happened back in the early to mid-90s when the Clintons were running Washington.
Some of you new to the program may not have been old enough to care back then, or your memories might have faded somewhat, but I assure you mine hasn't.
This woman, Mrs. Clinton, smartest woman in the world, she came in with all of this pre-pub, and Hillary has always been chosen, and it's always been her turn next till Obama came along to shaft her out of the presidency.
Because of what she put up with Bill, because of what she did.
She permitted Clinton to remain in office.
Heck, she she actually allowed Clinton's career to stay viable so he could run for the presidency.
She was owed quite a lot.
And yet everybody in the Democrat Party, when they need a fall guy or they need to dump on somebody, they always go to Hillary, and she always accepts it.
You Hillary supporters out there, I know there are a lot of you out there still a little angry over what happened to her in the 2008 primaries.
And once again, the Democrat Party and Obama dumping all over her and making her take the blame.
Now she agreed to do it, so there's obvious something going on in addition to what we know behind the scenes.
But let's pretend for a minute.
Let's pretend for a minute that Obama bears zero responsibility for these four deaths.
Just the cover-up.
Let's let's assume that what she's trying to peddle here is true.
Obama didn't know anything.
He minding his own business.
He's trying to lower the sea levels, he's starting green energy, doing whatever magic he's still trying to do.
He didn't know anything.
He bears zero responsibility for the four deaths.
All he's in charge of was the cover-up.
That means that Hillary Clinton is one of the most incompetent, failed, inept people in a generation.
She's a disaster.
Let's go back and review.
And I'm not doing anything other here than reviewing history.
Hillary Clinton was in charge of the bimbo eruptions.
She and Betsy Wright.
During the first, well, during the campaign for 1992, there were all these women at Clinton had had all these dalliances with, and they were all popping up like jacks in the box.
And it was Hillary and Betsy Wright's job to deal with the bimbo eruptions.
And the way they dealt with the bimbo eruptions basically to threaten the women.
In the modern age of feminism, of course, just trash the women.
She was in charge of ruining the lives of women her husband had abused and assaulted.
She lied about her role in Whitewater.
Should have been charged with perjury in that.
She lied about her role in Travelgate.
You remember Travel Gate, Mr. Snertley?
What happened?
Travelgate, folks, very simply, the uh White House has travel office, and the travel office arranges travel for journalists and others accompanying the president on any travel, domestic or international.
It's like the travel agency inside the White House.
And the people in the travel office are career.
They're not really political appointees, although they can be.
The people had been in that travel office when the Clintons got there, had been in there for many years.
And basically what Hillary came in is and fired them all, but she didn't just fire them all.
She put out press releases impugning their character.
She charged somebody in the travel office with embezzling money or some such crime.
None of it was true, folks.
Billy Dale was his name.
She it she could have just fired the guy.
She could have just said, Billy, we're going to go in a different direction.
I want to bring some of my cronies in here so that we can skim some of the commissions for ourselves, which is what they were doing.
There are commissions involved here.
The Clintons wanted to spread the wealth around to some of their cronies and buddies as a payback for all the help they're in a campaign.
So Billy Dale not just fired, they ran all kinds Do you hear the crackling in there?
Can you hear it?
Okay.
The they ran all kinds of uh they leaked stories about the guy's embezzling or dishonesty or what have they basically destroyed the guy's character.
And they did it without any concern for what was happening to him.
He'd been a lifelong travel office guy.
There was nobody ever had a complaint about him.
They ruined the guy's reputation as justification for firing him because they thought it would look cold hearted just to walk in there and fire the guy, so they had to construct some kind of phony reason to do it.
They did.
Google Billy Dale.
My memory on this, ladies and gentlemen, does not fade.
Genuinely good people's careers were tarred and feathered, so that she could put Arkansas cronies in the travel office for a host of reasons.
Yeah, he went to trial, by the way.
Billy Dale, there was a trial.
It was so bad that there were charges leveled.
All of these lies told about Billy Dale, there were charges leveled, and he was acquitted.
It was exonerated quickly and totally and fully.
And he was like Ray Donovan from the labor department.
Where do I go to get my reputation back?
She probably lied about her role in the 900 missing FBI files.
There were 900 FBI files of Clinton political opponents and enemies that went missing.
And we can assume that she read them all.
What what was it that was found in the map room of the White House?
Some what was it?
Some of the FBI files were found laying around in the map room.
There was something that everybody wanted to look for that was missing.
Might have been the FBI file.
That's right, was Rose Law Firm billing record.
That's what it was.
Rose Law Firm Billing Record, where she worked, they have been looking for those to try to find something connected to Whitewater, which was a land.
You know what Whitewater was?
Very simply because Whitewater was.
Whitewater was a land area, uh development area in Arkansas.
And it was this clown Jim McDougall who got to know the Clintons, and he brought this opportunity to them.
And the Clintons are like a lot of people on the left, get rich quick, and the way you do that is you cut corners and you cheat and you steal and do for you.
In other words, hard work is not what gets you anywhere.
Cronyism, knowing people, getting inside deals, and that's all Whitewater was.
The Clintons didn't have any money.
They wanted a big score.
This guy McDougall and his wife Susan brought the deal to him.
And uh because it was a lot of it under the table, New York Times big time investigation.
The answers were never fully forthcoming.
But uh she was heavily involved in that.
Uh 100,000 in cattle futures.
She said that she made a hundred thousand dollar profit in cattle futures by reading the Wall Street Journal.
That wasn't true.
Uh It was her insane takeover of health care.
Hillary care that went down in flames.
She has, in other words, a in fact it was it was uh when the Lewinsky thing hit and the Bimbo eruptions, it was Hillary's decision as to how the White House played the Monica Lewinsky thing, and it was an utter disaster.
The point here, uh folks, for those of you who are just now starting to remember all this is that all during that period of time, we were trying to make the case on this program that she was not smartest woman in the world.
She was not God's gift or whatever problem existed, that she was basically in over her head and allowed to run free because Clinton owed her so much.
So she had free hand in health care, free hand a number of other things.
She could have ended Clinton's presidency at any time, telling the truth about any of the bimbos, or all of them.
But she agreed to keep it under wraps, she agreed to lie, she agreed to go on the Today Show and blame it all on a vast right-wing conspiracy, so she was owed everything, including the presidency in 2008.
And then when it was hers, when it was in the palm of her hands, here comes a skinny kid from Illinois that everybody starts calling the Messiah, and they dump on her again.
The woman is a doormat, not a feminist leader.
It's the most amazing thing.
And we keep hearing stories about how the Clintons and the Obamas don't like each other, right?
That there's bad blood.
If that's the case, how is it that Obama prevails on her every time to bail him out of something?
It's stunning to me.
Obviously things that we don't know that uh are going on.
Anyway, so now she is responsible for the lack of security that led to the deaths of four Americans.
Are you kidding me?
We did Operation Chaos in this program in the campaign of 2008 to prolong her campaign to give her a chance at maybe securing the Democrat nomination because of the rest of the Democrat Party had thrown her overboard in favor of Obama.
Now she's thrown overboard again and has to go to Peru to take the hit.
The utter failure of this administration, Obama's top cabinet secretary, she's gonna throw Eric Holder in this mix too, in terms of incompetence or corruption or what have you.
But Obama apparently very proud that these people continue to take the fall for him time after time after time.
It's just a mess.
A tragic mess.
The American taxpayer keeps picking up the check for all of this incompetence.
We've now learned a battery outfit went bankrupt before they made a battery, this another 250 billion dollars of taxpayer money down the tubes.
I gotta take a break.
Going long here, be back.
This segment gonna be short, folks, because I was on a roll in the opening monologue.
My only point here is I don't believe her, folks.
It's the only point I'm trying to make.
I just don't believe anything Hillary Clinton says, and neither should you.
Do you remember March twenty-fourth, two thousand eight, Clinton misspoke about Bosnia trip?
Remember.
A Clinton campaign says that Senator Hillary Clinton may have misspoke recently when she said she had to evade sniper fire visiting Bosnia in 1996's first lady.
She described going into Bosni having to corkscrew land to avoid snipper fire.
The we always called it snipper fire because there was a typo in the story.
Hillary Clinton's out there saying she had to avoid sniper fire.
Why?
It wasn't true.
Why'd she do it?
Bravery.
Mrs. Clinton was braving the odds she was being fired upon, snipers trying to bring down her jet.
None of it true, folks.
And you know why we know it's not true?
The comedian Sinbad, if you remember him, was on the plane.
He was on the plane, traveled with her, and then news organizations, the Washington Post, looked into it and found out that it wasn't true.
At the time, the columnist William Sapphire, New York Times wrote that she was a congenital liar.
And we're supposed to believe her now.
She told the world that a video was at fault for the Benghazi murders.
Then last week, she told that lie for a week.
She She she backs up the president, who, by the way, if you want to know why she does all this, why she's doing this doormat routine, Obama is paying off her campaign debt.
If I remember correctly, I think that was a deal that was made.
She agreed to accept Secretary of State to give his administration some gravitas, if you can believe that.
And she'd racked up a lot of campaign debt, and Obama, I think, promised to pay it off, and I think she's still paying that debt, if you will.
But for a week, it was a video.
She went on Pakistan television a commercial, blaming the video for all that went wrong in in Benghazi.
And, you know, why why didn't why didn't Obama, when he when he went on a letterboard, why didn't he when he said, well, you know, it was Hillary Clinton's responsibility?
Why they they just concocted this at a at a meeting on Friday afternoon, if you remember.
The miss did a big of the vast right-wing conspiracy Rushlin boss serving humanity simply by being here.
Why are we even discussing this?
Joe Biden, in the debate with Paul Ryan, said that he and Obama were not told about the requests for additional security made by our ambassador, the late Chris Stevens, and three other Americans at the embassy or the consulate in Benghazi.
And that was supposed to satisfy everybody.
The president and the United States weren't told.
That's somehow his standard operating procedure.
That's normal.
President wasn't told.
President's not curious.
President didn't, I mean, all hell breaking loose, and he's not curious, he's just content to blame it on a video for a week.
And they tried and tried and tried to sell that.
The media did everything they could, but it wasn't flying.
And Biden is the one who really blew it.
In a debate where the media tried to make it out like he was the slam dunk winner, Biden embarrassed himself and put the administration in an untenable position.
Basically, he said, We're ignorant.
We have no clue.
We didn't know what's going on, and we didn't care.
Don't blame us.
That's up against Harry Truman.
The buck stops here.
Obama, Hillary, every president, every candidate says that.
I'm going to take full responsibility.
Buck stops with me.
Except now the buck always stops with Hillary when the Democrat Party gets in trouble.
I want to take you back to September the 10th.
Firestorm.
When we learn that Barack Obama doesn't attend over half of the intelligence briefings.
Do you remember that?
He is so incurious.
He is so elsewhere that he doesn't attend half the intelligence breedings.
George W. Bush every day.
Jimmy Carter every day.
Ronald Reagan every day.
Bill Clinton every day, first thing in the morning.
Zabigniev Brzezinski.
For all of his faults, Jimmy Carter, first meeting every morning, Oval Office, 7.15 to 7.30 was Zabigniev Bzhinski National Security Intel meeting.
First thing, Obama doesn't even make half of them.
Jay Carney blasted the Government Accountability Institute's findings as being hilarious and said the president gets the presidential daily brief every day.
He always reads it every day.
He's a voracious consumer of all of his briefing material.
Then the National Security Council spokesman Tommy Veeder fired back.
He said, "This president's among the most sophisticated consumers of intelligence on the planet." Whatever that means.
So they have been in a CYA mode ever since this happened.
And they've been doing their best to cover up for Little Barry and make it seem like it's totally understandable that he wouldn't know, that he wouldn't be told, and that he wouldn't ask anything about security and additional security at a Consulate in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9-11.
Now they're asking us to believe a lot.
And uh ladies and gentlemen, I just want to tell you that when it comes to liberals, particularly this crowd, Mrs. Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, the truth is as foreign to them as anything else in their lives is president is the most sophisticated consumer of intelligence on the planet.
And then don't forget the State Department didn't merely assign average security to Chris Stevens.
Where was he?
He's in Benghazi.
We've just taken out Gaddafi.
It's an unstable place.
It's dangerous.
We are hated there despite what people want to believe.
The security that was provided Chris Stevens was horrible.
It was in you know what it was, it was two local bodyguards.
It wasn't even armed U.S. military personnel.
It was two local bodyguards, and we saw the job listing.
The job listing when they were seeking the bodyguards for Chris Stevens actually said it's okay if you are in a same-sex marriage or relationship in Libya.
They had two bodyguards, and they ended up giving up the goods on the location of Stevens when they moved him to the safe house, so the mob knew where he was to go kill him.
He didn't have any decent security to begin with, and now we are told that Obama and and Biden were not told that he had requested more.
And now after a week of a video being blamed or ten days of it, Mrs. Clinton comes out.
I did it.
My problem is my responsibility.
She does not take blame.
She simply asserts her responsibility.
Here's this from Reuters State Department officials suspected two Libyan guards hired by its own security contractor were behind an April incident in which a homemade bomb was hurled over the wall of the consulate, according to official emails obtained by Reuters.
This consulate has been under assault since April.
We weren't told, Martha.
God, Martha, I'll tell you my dare say Joey.
Joey went in all hills breaking with something.
You know, Joe, you gotta get right back up and you punch them in the mouth.
And Martha's what I did, but Barack and I, we didn't know.
They didn't tell us.
What are we supposed to do?
They didn't tell us.
We didn't know.
Somehow they claim Biden won that debate.
This is an insult to everybody's intelligence and the memory of our ambassador, Chris Stevens.
Here's Mrs. Clinton, by the way, on CBS this morning.
Margaret Brennan, their State Department correspondent, said who briefed Ambassador Rice about the video.
Who told her?
Who sent her out all over the Sunday shows to blame the video when you're now saying that you are responsible?
You would have to ask her.
You didn't speak to her before that, apparently.
No, but everybody had the same information.
I have to say, I know there's been a lot of attention paid to who said what when, but I think what happened is more important.
We were attacked, and four brave Americans were killed.
Everybody in the administration has tried to say what we knew at the time with the caveat that we would learn more.
And that's what's happened.
So I think that I've seen it before, not just in respect to this.
I think it's part of what the fog of war causes.
All right, fine.
So she'll take the hit for Obama, but not Susan Rice.
And when she doesn't take the hit for Susan Rice, it means that she's not taking a hit for the story on the video.
She's not accepting responsibility for that.
She's going to accept responsibility for 60,000 people in the State Department, and that's it.
Point is, Mrs. Clinton, our ambassador need not have died.
Everybody had the same information, but a lot of attention made to who said what when, but I think what happens more important, we were attacked.
Yep.
We that that consulate has been under assault since April.
There were no steps taken to secure it.
None.
This actually uh, folks, is is unconscionable.
Let's go back.
January 19, 2008, it's Florisent Missouri outside St. Louis during a campaign event.
Listen to Mrs. Clinton then.
This is one of the most important elections in our country's history.
I believe we need a president who believed what Harry Truman believed that the Buck stopped in the Oval Office.
I will do what I can to run the government and manage the economy because I think we need a president who has hands on, not hands off, after what we've lived through the last seven years.
The Buck stops at the Oval Office except when a Democrat is in it.
And let's go back again, January 10th, 2006.
This is in the middle of the Democrat Party and the media's efforts to destroy George Bush and secure defeat for this country in the war in Iraq.
Diane Sawyer is talking to Mrs. Clinton.
And she said Recycling in Japan.
Did you see that?
Recycling.
And then she said the head of the Democrat National Committee, Howard Dean, has said that Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld should resign.
Do you agree?
I am just bewildered as to how this president and vice president continue to isolate themselves from different points of view.
The real buck stops at the top, and it's the president's policy.
You know, he's got three more years in office.
Some of us wish that weren't the case, but it uh is under our Constitution, and it's up to him to make this right.
Wow, isn't that fascinating?
So it's Bush's fault.
The buck stops at the top.
The president's policy.
Somebody needs to do something.
We need to fire Rumsfeld.
We need to fire somebody because Bush would notice how none of that is applicable now.
None of it.
Before we go to the break, I want to share with you a something that I saw yesterday at National Review Online.
As you know, one of my favorite authors and writers, Victor Davis Hansen.
And the title of this piece is a presidency squandered.
And it doesn't require much for me to make the point here.
The Obama narrative is that he inherited the worst mess in memory and has been stymied ever since by a partisan Congress, while everything from new ATM technology to the Japanese tsunami conspired against him.
But how true are those claims?
Barack Obama entered office with an approval rating of over 70%.
John McCain's campaign had been anemic and almost at times seemed as if it was designed to lose nobly to the nation's first African American presidential nominee.
Now, listen to this.
And there's one name on this list you will not hear.
Coming up, Victor Davis Hanson mentions all of the people who fell for the Obama myth.
And as I go through this, it's not quite, it's not, it's not long, but it's it's significant, and there's one name you will not hear.
One percenter magnets welcomed Obama.
Steve Wynne, Donald Trump, Mort Zuckerman.
Yes, now they blast Obama, but four years ago they seemed to have found him a relief from George W. Bush.
Christopher Buckley, the late Christopher Hitchens openly endorsed Obama.
Republicans like Colin Powell, Scott McClellan, Doug Comek all went public with their support.
One got the impression from what David Frum, David Brooks, and Peggy Noonan wrote that with a wink and a nod, they had welcomed his election.
Never has a president entered office with so much goodwill from so many diverse quarters.
All those names, all of those powerful big time Republican opinion makers, they all fell for it.
They all wanted everybody to know that they too were in on the celebration of the election of the first black president, and that's all that mattered.
70% approval rating.
There was one person who said in the midst of all this, I hope he fails.
And that person was me.
And the reason I said it was because I knew exactly what was going to happen, and it has.
Because I know liberals, I know their ideology, I know their intentions, I know their tactics, and I know prod predominantly that the top of the list and defining a liberal is they cannot tell you the truth about who they are and what they intend, or they would never win an election in this country.
And of course, I was raked over the coals for being insensitive or well, whatever the charges were, but I stuck by it.
I didn't buy into this ever.
And I'm not buying into any of it now.
I'm not buying into Hillary Clinton being responsible.
I'm not buying into the fact that Obama and Biden didn't know.
I'm not buying into any aspect of the story, and I'm telling you that you can trust me.
In my analysis of this administration and the people in it, and I've got to take a brief time out.
Don't go away.
We will get into the uh the pre-analysis of the debate at the top of the next hour.
One soundbite, then we're gonna grab a phone call.
Dan Rather on Piers Morgan tonight last night uh rather was asked for his reaction on Hillary Clinton taking a fall here for Barack Obama.
As skillfully as possible in the circumstances, but look, this is hurtful to President Obama, his administration, his campaign, and with Secretary St. Clinton standing up, she's doing the best she can to play defense for him.
But in the end, the president is responsible.
Amazing.
Amazing from Dan Rather.
In the end, the president is responsible.
And that is exactly right, no matter what she says.
And the reason he's responsible and the reason this is an issue is because he put his personal political ambition ahead of everything.
He put his re-election ahead of everything, and he always has done that.
We go to Miami as we start with uh with Bob on the phones.
Bob, thanks for calling.
Nice to have you here with us.
Yes.
Uh, I wonder why nobody makes the comparison to uh Mogadishu and Blackhawk Down, because the Clintons were in charge at that time, and uh that gunship at the end of the tarmac was so important if it had been there, but they removed it because it sent it didn't look good.
It's like when these guys called up and wanted to have Bob wire put around that the uh the embassy or the consulate, it wasn't gonna happen because it would look bad.
Yeah, and why wouldn't it look good?
It wouldn't look good because Obama has tried to create the impression there is no more Al Qaeda, that we're no longer under the threat of Al Qaeda.
So what's a barbed wire fence going up for?
It would it would conflict with the with the lie that he's telling.
The Black Hawk Down episode, this is a fascinating analogy.
That whole Mogadisha thing, we went into Mogadishu because the New York Times had a picture on the front page of a starving kid.
And George Bush was maneuvered into sending in a humanitarian mission, the U.S. military.
The media was on the beach waiting when the military arrived.
It was like a red carpet arrival.
Here come the troops, and they were there for a meals on wheels mission.
And the the the head honcho in Mogadishu was uh Mohammed um Farah Idid Skyhook, some such thing, and he was taking all the food that the world was sending.
And he was starving his own people.
And New York Times ran a picture.
Remember cable TV, this is 1990, 91.
CNN's it, folks, as far as cable news there and just the three networks.
Not like it was then uh today.
It's not like that.
So a picture on the cover of the New York Times could move a lot of public opinion and inspire presidential action.
So you go in there, and it turns out that uh Sahib Skyhook's troops start firing on us, it becomes a full-fledged military conflict.
And uh the short version of the story is a less Aspen, Clinton's military guy, asks for more troops.
Clinton turns him down.
And a I think an Army ranger ended up being killed and dragged naked through the streets.
When that happened, Clinton pulled us out of there.
Get out.
Couldn't stand the optics, not good for budding new administration, and that's when Osama bin Laden said he knew.
He told an ABC reporter named John Miller When I saw you guys chicken out in Mogadishu, that's when I knew the United States was a paper tiger.
Aspen resigned over that.
So we'll be back after this.
Don't go away.
