Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Yeah, greetings, greetings, folks, and welcome.
It's great to have you.
Here we are, kicking off a brand new week of broadcast excellence right here at the EIB Network.
I'm Rush Limbaugh, the um self-named Limbaugh Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Great to have you here.
Telephone numbers 800 28282.
And if you want to send an email, it's Lrushbow at EIBNet.com.
I I am just amazed at so much.
I hardly know where to start.
I'm driving in to work to them.
Listen to a couple guys talk about, you know, for the first time, I'm really worried about the world my kids are growing up in.
You know what?
I'm really worried.
I'm really worried that the um up till nowadays been peachy key, and I'm really worried that the world my parents or kids are growing up to is not going to be the world that uh that I grew up into.
I said, guys, you're about seven years too late.
Now they were talking about ISIS, but I it the disconnect, the drive-by media today.
Do you know what their big narrative is?
You know what the big narrative in the drive-by media is today?
What impact will what happened in Paris have on Obama's refugee program?
I kid you not.
That refugee program needs to be shut down right now because we have proven to ourselves over and over again that nowhere in the world can we vet these people.
One of these terrorists in Paris was a Syrian refugee, or at least was carrying a passport to so indicate.
One of the mothers, or a mother of one of, or the mother, I don't think there's two, the mother of one of the terrorists that he was just under stress.
That suicide vest he was wearing, is this he's just under a lot of stress.
And I said, okay, what university in America did he attend then?
What's he stressed out about?
All of the excuses that are being made.
Obama's press conference today in Turkey was, you know, Michael Goodwin had a piece yesterday in New York Post said it's time for Obama to quit.
Just quit or lead, get out of the way.
Andrea Paiser, New York Post, much of the same thing.
Ted Cruz has said much the same thing.
It's just I guess, you know, I'm I'm I'm sad that it's an event like this that is waking people up, but even this event is not waking some up.
Um there are American campus kids out there tweeting that this is all our fault.
And make no mistake, Obama, before all this is over, and what this press conference today was about was laying the groundwork for blaming George W. Bush for all this.
I mean, it's a Democrat's go-to.
It's an election year and an election season, and by but if Obama can get away with it, he's going to lay all this off on Bush by saying we wouldn't even be there if Bush hadn't taken us there.
There wouldn't be an ISIL.
There wouldn't be an ISIL ISIS if it weren't for Bush.
This is what he's setting up.
But more than anything, I look, I know this sounds well, it it might sound snarky.
I don't intend it to, folks, and I probably echoing the sentiments of quite a few of you, but I'm I'm really appalled that there are so many people surprised that something like this could happen.
What do you mean something like this could happen?
Something like this happens every day in the world.
To one degree or another, ISIS is out murdering people.
Boko Haram is out kidnapping and murdering people.
What is it?
The fact that it happened in Paris is what has people all bent out of shape and and and shocked and unbelieving.
Why is it and why has it been so difficult to accept this enemy?
Well, one of the reasons is that the leadership of the United States will not even identify this enemy.
And believe me, that matters when we're talking about the low information crowd.
When the President of the United States refuses to use the word terrorism, Islamic terrorism, Muslim extremists, anything of the sort that accurately describe who these people are.
Believe me, the reverence and respect for the office of the presidency is such that a lot of people, low information people, aren't going to get it.
They're never going to hear it.
And now this the drive-by media narrative here on how the Paris attacks might affect Syrian refugees.
I mean, it's all over the place.
Yeah, like we can't fall into ISIS trap and close the door to refugees.
That will just make Muslims mad.
We have to prove to the Muslims that we continue to care despite what happened in Paris.
The EU needs to let in even more Muslim refugees, Syrian refugees, and of course among them are more Muslim terrorists.
And then the same arguments being made here about the United States.
And everybody wonders why Donald Trump's at 42%.
Donald Trump's out there saying they need we need to kick their ass.
We need to blow up their oil fields.
We need to take them out.
And I want you to listen to a soundbite here, uh synthesize all of this, because everybody's wondering.
You know, Obama had a press conference today, and everybody's wondering what he said.
What in the world did he say?
It's not what he said, it's what he would not say.
He would not, he would not condemn this.
Reporter after reporter after reporter, sycophant after sycophant after sycophant, stood up and gave Obama a clear, a clear path to just come down on these people.
One reporter even stood up the third third time the question was asked because the first two questions, Obama punted.
He just will not provide the answer that everybody wants or even expects.
That's even more to the point.
So the third reporter stands up and says, Mr. President, I know what you've said prior, but let me just cut to the chase.
When are we going to find these bastards and kill them?
And Obama got mad.
I've already answered that question two or three times.
I don't know what more I can say about it, but if you want me to answer it, I'll go ahead.
And then he doesn't answer it.
He keeps talking about the strategy that we've got.
And he keeps talking about, despite what you saw in Paris, progress is being made.
I mean, totally tone-deaf.
And this goes along with the was it karma or what that on Friday Obama says, we got him contained, man.
We got ISIL.
We got ISIL contained.
The JV team, we got them contained.
And then what happened Friday night happened.
And the White House is still trying to say, oh, yeah, yeah, we know exactly what we're doing.
We got him contained.
Retired military people are all over television unbelievingly.
Well, they are being open in their disgust and their their opposition and the fact that they're totally stymied by what Obama's doing.
Still active duty.
Remember, we've got two kinds of generals there in the Pentagon.
We've got warrior generals and we've got politically correct generals.
And the politically correct faction is alive and well and maybe even running the show.
But about 10 minutes after 11 this morning, Walid Ferris was on Fox News.
And Waleed Farris is the nation National Defense University professor.
And he is a longtime commentator and analyst on issues in the Middle East.
And John Scott, the co-host at Fox News, said, Walid, why can't we take these people out?
We know where they are.
We've got people willing, if we would just are the Kurds.
We've got people willing to take them out.
If you want to know from an expert analyst why Obama is hemming and hawing, if you want to know, it's going to infuriate you.
If you want to know this man's opinion, why Obama is punting, stalling, obfuscating, dancing around the answers to questions.
Here is what Mr. Farris said in response to the question, Walid, why can't we take him out?
Actually, we can and actually we should.
But the president has a different strategy.
He's getting a lot of pressure by the Iranians.
Otherwise, he should have long time ago allied himself, partnered with Arab moderate forces such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, UAE.
They are fighting terrorism very much and very well in Yemen and Sinai and Libya, elsewhere.
But the reason that he's not going to these uh moderate Arab forces and asking them on the ground to be boots on the ground is because the Iranians are pressuring him, because the Syrian regime is pressuring him.
They don't want those areas, those Sunni areas to be liberated by Sunni moderates because they won't have access to them.
That's the bottom line of it.
Did You get that?
I had to listen to it a couple of times because I didn't have close captioning.
So I've got the transcript here.
Basically, and it makes perfect sense when you know this, and if you accept this, the reason why Obama's tap dancing and him hawing around and not answering the question is because he doesn't dare.
The reason we don't take ISIS out is because the Iranians don't want them taken out.
The reason we don't take ISIS out is because the Syrian regime doesn't want them taken out.
Now, okay, well, why do we care what the Iranians do?
You tell me.
Well, it's no, it it's it, yeah, obviously it preserved the deal, but it the the nuke deal, but it goes deeper than that.
It has to do.
This is kind of convoluted.
I'm gonna do my best here at trying to explain this, because it's really, really convoluted, because Obama thinks in convoluted ways.
But first, let me read Ferris's answer here again, because it went by pretty quickly.
Obama is getting his strategy in fighting ISIS is due to the pressure he's getting by the Iranians.
He should have long ago allied himself with Arab moderate force.
Now, that's kind of a uh a curveball because there's nothing moderate about the Saudis, particularly in terms of militant uh Islam.
However, in what he's talking about here is that the Saudis don't like ISIS any more than we do, and they don't like the Iranians.
And so therefore the Saudis are aligned with the Jordanians, and the Saudis are aligned with Egypt, and the Saudis are aligned with Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and they are moderates.
I mean, they're building Las Vegas in the Middle East.
They are the UAE.
That's that's what Dubai and minus the alcohol, except in the hotels.
Uh that's what they are.
And those people are, those nations are indeed fighting ISIS, and they are fighting Al Qaeda for their own reasons, but nevertheless, we do have a common enemy, but Obama's not aligning with the Saudis.
He's not allying with Jordan or Egypt or the UAE.
He is aligning himself with Iran.
The reason that he's not going to these moderate Arab nations, Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians, UAE, and asking them to contribute boots on the ground along with us, is because the Iranians are pressuring him, because the Syrian regime is pressuring him.
Iran and Syria do not want moderate Sunni areas like Mosul and other places, they do not want these uh Sunni areas to be liberated by Sunni moderates, because then the Iranians won't control them.
The Iranians won't have access to them.
The bottom line is, according to Walid Farris, is that Obama is choosing side the Iranians want to run the Middle East for all intents and purposes, and the Syrians and that alliance, and that's the alliance he's thrown down with.
Now it's up to us to go figure out why he's the Iranian nuke deal.
I think with Obama, you can't take the politics out of anything.
And a lot of this has to do.
Obama gave an answer, and I spent all morning trying to find it yesterday.
I didn't make note of it, I didn't save it.
I don't remember where, and I don't remember the name of the writer, and so I didn't find it.
Thought I knew where it was.
I spent a half hour looking for it.
So much for the magic of search.
But it was a story about how Obama has said recently that wherever there is sectarian violence, we aren't gonna get involved.
We're not gonna touch ground, we're not gonna go on the ground.
We're not gonna have boots on the ground, we're not gonna contribute, we're not gonna donate, we're not gonna do one thing in any middle eastern area where there is sectarian violence going on, because Obama says, no matter, if we beat back one group, we don't know who's gonna replace them.
That's one of the strategies, by the way, that Obama that Ferris mentions here that's not in the bite, says Obama is worried about taking out ISIS because he doesn't know what's going to replace them.
At least ISIS is known.
I mean, this is this is one of the opinions that Ferris mentioned, so we don't have a bite, And cookie, don't go get it.
It's not necessary.
I just mentioned it.
But the sectarian violence aspect of this all relates to being able to blame all this on George W. Bush.
Sectarian violence defined as Sunni versus Shiite, for example.
And in any Middle Eastern country where there is sectarian violence, in other words, where there isn't unity of Islam or anything else, we're not going to get involved.
And we're not going to get involved, even if what is happening in these places leads to terrorism against Americans or against the United States.
We're not going to get involved until those nations, countries, areas figure out and sort out their own differences.
And those differences exist because Bush went to Iraq.
The sectarian violence that exists over there is because Bush went to Iraq and invaded Iraq.
And if that hadn't happened, none of this would have happened.
And that's what they're trying to lay the groundwork for making the case of at the White House.
That's what all of this hem hoying around is about, in my humble opinion, because anything in the Middle East, particularly coming up on an election year, is always going to be Bush's fault.
So Obama is playing patty cake with the media today, not answering, avoiding, looking like an incompetent boob in the process.
But believe me, there is a strategy behind this.
And the strategy is to protect the Democrat Party and his legacy and his look Obama is responsible for ISIS.
We had a safe and secure Iraq that we would not maintain.
Obama cleared out, pulled everybody out, told them they're on their own because the Democrat base, lunatic base, demanded it.
But at this point, it's it's kind of moot to get involved in the blame game because the reality of dealing with these people is paramount.
And that's where Obama is failing.
Big time.
And this is not, you know, when I said I hope Obama fails, but he hasn't, he's been immediately and immensely successful.
This is not, this is a genuine failure.
This is a failure of American leadership.
We do not have to be the world's cop.
We don't have to have boots on the ground anywhere to provide moral leadership.
We are not providing any Obama doesn't think we're qualified.
Obama doesn't think we have the character.
We'd haven't, we haven't earned it.
We have always inserted ourselves in this region of the world.
We've inserted ourselves everywhere around the world.
We've never had the right to do it.
And we're not going to resume doing it now.
We're going to get out.
The Democrat debate on Saturday.
What a joke.
The lowest rated Democrat debate in the Democrat National Committee is getting a lot of grief now from the candidate.
What are you putting us on Saturday night when nobody's watching it?
DNC, Deputy Blabbermail Schulz said, be thankful nobody saw it.
You people are a bunch of idiots.
Anyway, we got to take a break here.
You're darn right I'm going to get to the Democrat debate today.
Absolutely.
In fact, Judicial Watch has today, just today, released 35 pages of emails from Huma.
From Huma wiener.
Huma Evident.
And they reveal that Huma advised Hillary Aid and frequent companion Monica Hanley that it was very important to go over phone calls with Clinton because the former Secretary of State was often confused.
This is an email of a series of emails in a document.
Now the judicial watch got 35 pages.
Emails from Huma warning State Department Stafford that Hillary is often confused.
So make sure you go over with her on the phone, whatever it is you are emailing her.
All that coming up, plus a review of the Democrat debate.
But look, folks, back to Walid Farris's answer here on Fox about why we're playing patty cake with ISIS.
And it is a start contract.
You know, while Obama was doing this really, I don't know, it was a wimpish.
How to describe this press conference he did today.
At the same time, Francois Hollande, the president of France, was over at his Congress, practically asking for a declaration of war against ISIS and laying out in no certain terms how They're going to take them out.
I mean, it was a juxtaposition I never thought I would see.
Here we have the surrender caucus in France manning up and the United States trading places and becoming, if not the surrender caucus, the whole hum caucus.
So what we've learned here from Walid Ferris and his analyst credentials to me are top notch.
Shia Iran wants the Sunni regions of the Middle East destabilized.
Therefore, they want ISIS to continue to operate.
ISIS destabilizes.
That will ultimately help Iran take over the entire region in the future.
Obama gave Iran money by lifting the sanctions.
He's given them permission for nukes, which is a giant threat leverage that Iran's going to have.
So it seems that Obama has chosen Shia Iran to be the dominant force in the Middle East.
That's what Walid Ferris essentially is saying a strategy is.
So Hillary Clinton says, you know, and I can't wait till the millennials find this out.
Hillary Clinton said that we she defined smart power.
Remember this.
She was, it was a speech that she gave at Georgetown University.
Foreign policy speech and press conference.
This is back in uh what was it?
December, almost a year ago, December 5th of 2014.
And she shows up in Georgetown, foreign policy press conference, and nobody's there.
The room is half full.
And I remember commenting at the time, I I, you know, she can't sell a book.
She can't draw people to a book signing.
I I my constant refrain, why are people afraid of her?
What in the world?
And I think the reason people are afraid of her is because they know the Clintons are a corrupt bunch of people that will engage in any activity that you can't, it's not a fair fight.
I understand it.
Plus, there's a D by her name.
But anyway, uh here's what she said at this foreign policy press conference.
And I just want to remind you of this in light of what happened this past weekend.
Hillary said, this is what we call smart power, using every possible tool and partner to advance peace and security, leaving no one on the sidelines, showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand, and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with the perspective and point of view of our enemies.
That's a year ago, that's Hillary Clinton.
I can't wait.
I hope somebody makes an ad out of that before the week is over and keeps running it all the way up to the presidential campaign.
Smart power, showing respect for one's enemies.
And none other than that great foreign policy expert, Madonna, is out basically echoing this.
Madonna says we must love these people.
We must show them the love.
We must teach them vogue.
We must do everything we can to show them how much we care for them, and that will disarm them.
They think we hate them.
They think that we despise them.
If we show them that we mean them no harm, they will drop every bit of this.
There are people that believe this.
You would not believe, and I'm gonna share it with you before the program's over.
You would not believe some of the stuff being stated by this same group of college nuts, these these propagandized kids.
We must understand these people are just seeking their own place in the world.
It's not for us to blame them, blah, blah, blah.
Bernie Sanders at the Democrat debate actually said that all of this is happening because of climate change.
Now I know you climate change.
What's that happening?
Well, climate change is the reason for all the migration, you see.
See, it's getting really hot in the desert.
It's getting really hot where these people live, and they're just they're moving to northern Europe to cool off.
They're going to Germany and Sweden and the Scandinavian countries and Greece over, they're going there to cool off because it's so hot where they live.
Yet he says this as though he genuinely believes it, and I think he probably does.
He does believe it.
We're dealing with fruit loops here.
And they're led by a guy, Barack Hussein, who just is an unmitigated disaster.
And I whatever you think of his intellect and so forth, he is incapable of leading.
He's incapable of identifying the problem.
And that's being generous.
If it's something else, if it really is, if Walid Farris is right, I want you to listen to this answer again.
Walid Farris on Fox News an hour and a half ago.
He was asked the question everybody's asking, but everybody was intensely asking it after this.
Embarrassment of an Obama press conference this morning.
Walid Farris says, why can't we take them out?
That was the question he's asked.
Why can't we take them out?
Why don't we take them out?
What in the world?
Why doesn't Obama even act like they're the enemy?
Actually we can and actually we should, but the president has a different strategy.
He's getting a lot of pressure by the Iranians.
Otherwise, he should have long time ago allied himself, partnered with Arab moderate forces such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, UAE, they are fighting terrorism very much and very well in Yemen and Sinai and Libya, elsewhere.
But the reason that he's not going to these uh moderate Arab forces and asking them on the ground to be boots on the ground is because the Iranians are pressuring him, because the Syrian regime is pressuring him.
They don't want those areas, those Sunni areas to be liberated by Sunni moderates because they won't have access to them.
That's the bottom line of it.
That's incredible if that's true.
That what Iran wants in the Middle East is what Obama is interested in.
But when you look at recent events, it makes perfect sense.
Shia Iran wants the Sunni regions of the Middle East destabilized.
Always at war, always in chaos.
Kind of like Obama wants Middle America always at war and in a state of chaos and unrest.
Now who can keep the Middle East destabilized?
ISIS, who is destabilizing the Middle East, ISIS, who's not really taking any action to stop ISIS, the United States.
Who is the leader of such action in the world, were it to happen, the United States?
There's no leadership.
We are not at all serious.
It obvious.
We are not at all serious about dealing with ISIS.
And now, according to Walid Farris, we know why.
ISIS continues to destabilize the Sunni regions of the Middle East.
That ultimately helps Iran take over the entire region in the future.
We have an alliance out there, we're refusing to join of the Saudis, the Jordanians, Egyptians, and the United Arab Emirates who are fighting terrorism, including ISIS, all over the region.
And if you look at actual events on the ground, Obama secured with Republican help, the corker bill in the Senate, lifting sanctions against Iran.
150 billion dollars frozen that Iran is now going to get.
They are also going to build nuclear weapons.
They have been granted permission to build nuclear weapons by virtue of our nuke deal with them.
So they get 150 billion dollars of their assets frozen because we secured the lifting of sanctions.
And they can never be slapped back on.
Like there's some Republican candidates, hey, go ahead.
And if Iran violates, we slap the sanctions back on.
We can't.
We would have to go back and rewrite new legislation that Obama would have to sign.
We can't just slap sanctions back on, folks.
They have been permanently lifted.
That equals 150 billion dollars.
You add that, the Iranians have permission to go ahead with their nuclear weapons program.
And it appears that Obama has chosen Shia Iran to be the dominant force in a region of Sunni and Shia Muslims.
That appears to be the arrangement.
If Walid Farris is right, and if there's anybody who would know, it would be him.
And if nothing else makes any sense, nothing else makes any common sense.
Innocent civilians are being killed all over the world.
Christians are being chased out of their homes and killed all over the world.
People are being beheaded by ISIS and Obama twiddles his thumbs.
And basically says, Well, we got a strategy to deal with it.
They're the JV team.
We're actually containing them.
We're doing a good job of containing them.
Really?
Why would Obama be sympathetic to the Iranians?
What is the what's the why can't he say militant Islamic terrorists?
Why can't he?
He can't even provide people validation for what they're already thinking about ISIS.
He will not even strongly condemn ISIS.
It's a it's just breathtaking to behold.
And as evidenced by what I heard earlier today, a bunch of sad sack people who think Obama's great because he's a liberal Democrat.
Actually, they don't think Obama's great, they just hate Republicans.
They think Republicans, whatever, and conservatives or whatever.
So Obama's, he's cool and he's hip, and the Republicans are a bunch of whatever.
Obama's destroying the healthcare system, he's destroying the United States economy, he's transforming this country, and these guys today say, Oh, yeah, well, you know what, this ISIS stuff going on in Paris.
I'm really I'm for the first time I'm worried about the future.
My kids are growing up and say, where have you clowns been?
You should have been alarmed about all this long before Friday.
But, but, but, but, but if that's what it takes to wake people up, then fine.
We'll deal with it as we get it.
Another timeout, we'll get back to your phones in a moment.
You know what else is being highlighted here in this incident?
And it's been happening a lot, and that is all of this symbolism.
People engaging in all of this symbolism and acting like it matters.
I remember uh Boko Haram when they first kidnapped the whatever it was, 250 girls in Nigeria, and Michelle Obama went out and said, I asked you to join me in our new campaign, save our girls.
A Twitter hashtag, save our girls.
And of course I mocked it.
I did.
I made fun of it.
What good's that gonna do?
It isn't gonna bring anybody back, it's not gonna do it.
There's not one step, not one half step, there's not one bit of action attached to a hashtag on anything.
There's not one bit of action on a ribbon that you put on your shirt or jacket that says you care.
And what good is all this symbolism is there if there isn't any action behind it?
This is the same criticism that I have leveled at many in my own movement.
Conservative opinion leaders, conservative writers and so write this great conservative stuff, but that's it.
They don't engage in the battle, they don't attempt to persuade minds, they just write and they're done with it.
Yeah, it's written very well, and it really reads well, and wow, it's really powerful, but what are you doing beyond that?
Well, that's it.
I write my column and I'm I'm finished.
No.
And I I remember being raked over the coals by late-night comedians after I poked fun at Michelle Obama's save our girls and bring back our girls or whatever it was.
The question was asked on late night TV.
Has Rush Limbaugh no soul?
No soul.
What good did that hashtag do?
There's all kinds of candlelight vigils and people leaving flowers here and there, and it's all personal.
But it's become in its own way its own cult.
It's it's a way people involve themselves in the story.
You know why I first ran into this and actually identified what it was during the death or after the death of Princess Diana?
All the people on the parade route and all the people depositing flowers.
And it was it was George Will on TV.
So, you know, these are just people that want to be in the story.
And it was a really pithy comment, forerunner comment to social media.
People inserting themselves in the story, feeling like they were part of it.
People feeling like they were part of the TV.
Look, there's my bouquet.
I put that bouquet there.
See that?
As the funeral procession goes by.
But it didn't matter to anything.
It may make the person engaging in the symbolism feel better.
But what does that accomplish?
Are you against people feeling good?
Are you against people participating?
They're not participating.
That's my whole point.
There isn't any participation here.
We have runaway, murderous terror, and all of this symbolism in the world saying you're a good person isn't going to stop any of it.
If symbolism's all it took, what kind of symbols could have beaten the Germans at Normandy?
It's absurd.
And I can hear some of you.
Why are you being so mean?
People did care.
They just want to show their support.
I know they just want to show their support.
That's all fine and dandy, but I think it's worse because I think people think they're actually mattering.
And it becomes a substitute for action.
And action is what's necessary in something like this.
All the outpourings of sympathism, uh, sympathy, and so forth.
There's a bunch of pieces have been written about this as well, too, about how it better lead to action if it's going to mean anything.
Symbolism is part of political correctness.
Symbolism and and it's faux involvement.
It's I think it's all part of, frankly, the American college experience.
It's like political correctness in a way.
It's oh, and by the way, another one of these student leaders has been exposed as a total 100% liar.
The young woman that went on Cavuto's show the other day.
Mullen, Keely Mullen or something, we've got the audio soundbite coming up.
Just like this Jonathan Butler kid in the University of Missouri totally made.
She comes from a multimillionaire father background.
That's it it's stunning.
The level of dishonesty and the deceit coupled with all of this political correctness, which leads people to think they're actually accomplishing something when they aren't.
It's bad education.
Grab a quick phone call.
Robert, Bowling Green, Kentucky.
I'm glad you called, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network as you're up first today.
Hello.
Well, thank you, Rush.
Privileged to speak to you.
Thank you very much, sir.
Appreciate that.
Appreciate what you do.
I am uh thank you for specifically uh uh putting blame where blame belongs on the situation in the Middle East as our president Obama uh left Iraq and he uh received a victorious situation, uh, abandon it, and now we have a mess.
And uh I hear George Bush blamed all the time.
Uh we've had that for seven years.
Uh he had victory.
My son was a part of that victory.
Uh so it's particularly personal when I hear this happen and blame.
Uh my son made it back fine.
There were a lot that didn't.
Uh and so it's not a mute point.
It's it's still a very sensitive point.
But uh this guy, we did free Iraq, by the way.
It was his successful mission, and uh then this guy dropped the ball.
Well, they were having free elections, it was a stable place, and Obama refused to keep a certain number of U.S. troops there to maintain what we had won under a bogus interpretation of the Iraqi status of forces agreement.
And uh Obama claimed, I'm not leaving her troops there.
I'm not leaving our troops there when they can be tried by some international court for war crimes.
And it was all made up.
The Iraqis were not insisting on being able to try American troops at an international tribunal.
Obama just wanted out of there.
He ran for the presidency on the basis that a whole war was corrupt and that Bush was corrupt and it was in it was it was a stupid thing to do, we get out of there.
He had to get out of just like he has to close Gitmo, the same difference to appease this base.
Not only that, he really believes it too, but I'm just telling you, they're setting up that press conference today, and everything Obama has said since Friday has been because it's a it's a presidential election year coming up.
And all of this, mark my words, in specific.
They're planning how to blame all of this on George W. Bush.
I mean, that's go to.
That's that's that turns out Democrat voters.
That ramps up the base.
Make no mistake, but this, ISIS, and all of this is because Obama abandoned the region when he took off.
No, I do.
I've got we got some audio sunbite to the Obama press conference today.
You you you need to hear, if you missed it, the attitude the president conveyed in this thing.
It was it was worse than detached.
