\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I waited too long to get to the phones yesterday. I always feel bad when I do that. So we\u2019re going to start in South Whitley, Indiana, with Dillon. Great to have you on the EIB network. Hello. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Okay, I wanted to go over that whole thing about the military strike and Obama\u2019s idea of no boots on the ground, right? <\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. This is like Clinton in \u201995 in Sarajevo. Everything from 15,000 feet. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. Here\u2019s the problem with that, right? I spent time in the Army. I spent time in Iraq. Here\u2019s the problem with only air strikes. You have no boots on the ground? How do you verify — keyword: Verify — that the targets were hit and that the strikes were effective? What are we going to do, carpet bomb the entire country and then not have to worry about it because it\u2019s a glass parking lot? <\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, you are to be forgiven for not understanding something here. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (laughing)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

RUSH: How long ago were you active military? <\/p>\n

CALLER: I got out back in 2008. <\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s five years ago. Back then the stuff that you mention mattered, but a “surgical strike” on Syria will be automatically said to be an overwhelming success. Obama was in the Situation Room looking at his own heads-up display, watching the damage unfold on the big screens right in front of him! The pilots will offer the proof. There will be no questioning of it because it\u2019s Obama, who cannot fail. <\/p>\n

CALLER: (chuckling) Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: There will not need to be any evidence. The success of the mission will be pronounced the moment the bombs begin their plummet from the aircraft. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, and at the same time, I mean, you\u2019re talking about how we\u2019ll put out all this stuff and the pilots are verifying that everything is done, everything was destroyed. At the same time, this situation is such a massively internationally watched event unfolding right in front of us that you and I both know exactly what will happen. We send the strikes, we bomb the targets, and we sit here and put out across all our news and media outlets — Internet, TV, paper, everything — that it was a resounding success. But then it just comes back around on us with the international community. “Well, that\u2019s just the evil West, the infidels just saying that these things were destroyed.”<\/p>\n

RUSH: That doesn\u2019t matter. Nobody will see it. The infidels and the international community? They\u2019re already responsible for this! Obama said so just today. They will never see. The American people will never see those news stories of people saying, “Wait a minute. We didn\u2019t succeed here. We didn\u2019t kill any rebels. Look at the women and children that died!” No. That will never be reported. We\u2019ve sent the message: “Obama was a tough guy and that\u2019s what the world saw and they\u2019re now quaking in their boots, and that\u2019s the end of the story!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
