RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, Obama started a war in Libya. This idea that Jay Carney just said, we had the sound bite in the last hou<\/a>r, the press briefing, (imitating Carney) “Well, I\u2019m not saying the administration — Biden wasn\u2019t saying that the administration writ large didn\u2019t know that there had been a request for security<\/a>. It\u2019s just that the president and the vice president and the White House didn\u2019t know,” as though that\u2019s gonna make it all okay? Who is the administration? If the White House, the vice president, the president, don\u2019t know, that\u2019s some sort of legit excuse?<\/p>\n

One more time. We did not need new intelligence in order to know that Libya is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for Americans. And, furthermore, that within Libya, Benghazi is the most dangerous spot in that country for Americans. Folks, it is utterly irresponsible to have an embassy there right now. We don\u2019t have an embassy in Iran. It\u2019s too dangerous. By the way, that\u2019s another thing. Damn it, why didn\u2019t I remember this? (imitating Biden) “They don\u2019t have a missile, Paulie. You can sit there, hell, Barack talked to Bibi, I was in the room. It was a conference call, spoke for an hour the other day, hell, Barack talks to Bibi all the time. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about, it\u2019s a bunch of stuff.”<\/line><\/p>\n

Raddatz says, “What do you mean ‘a bunch of stuff?'”<\/p>\n

“Well, all these guys don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about. Hell, the Iranians aren\u2019t getting anywhere near this nuclear weapon. We got tight sanctions.”<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have tight sanctions. Folks, I wish I hadn\u2019t gotten started. We don\u2019t have any sanctions of any teeth going on. There\u2019s something going on that nobody knows about in Iran. We\u2019re wrecking their currency. We are. We are wrecking the Iranian currency. It got started long before Obama was immaculated. Obama\u2019s so-called sanctions have nothing to do with what\u2019s going on with the internal deterioration, things happening in Iran. But the bottom line is old Joey kept saying, (paraphrasing) “They don\u2019t have a weapon. They got some fissile material, yeah, but they\u2019re not gonna have it till next spring, you idiot. They don\u2019t have a missile, I\u2019m telling you, they don\u2019t have a weapon.”<\/p>\n

Now, Ryan had an opening, didn\u2019t use it, but, “Hey, Joey, you don\u2019t need a missile. All you need\u2019s a suitcase. All you need is a guy who tried to get into Times Square last year that you guys thought was somebody mad over Obamacare. It turned out to be an Al-Qaeda terrorist. You don\u2019t need a missile, Joey.”<\/line><\/p>\n

So we\u2019re supposed to believe after listening to Biden last night that Iran\u2019s not a threat \u2019cause they might have uranium and fissile material, but they don\u2019t have a bomb. They don\u2019t need a bomb. All they need is a bunch of guys willing to commit suicide with some backpacks is all the hell they need, and they\u2019ve got plenty of \u2019em.<\/p>\n

You would not have wanted to be in the room with me last night. Kathryn had to rip me off the ceiling, and I have a 20-foot ceiling in the room we were watching the debate in. Anyway, we don\u2019t even have an embassy in Iran. It\u2019s too dangerous. Benghazi, we don\u2019t have a reason for a consulate there or an embassy. It\u2019s too dangerous. It\u2019s too soon after Obama\u2019s war there. And if you\u2019re gonna have one, though, if you\u2019re gonna open up a consulate, if you\u2019re gonna open up an embassy, it has to be protected by well resourced American armed forces, period, not contracted out same-sex bodyguards, local. What kind of maneuver was that? I told you yesterday, they had a job application, a bodyguard for the ambassador, and one of the things that was okay on the job application was to be in a same-sex marriage. Now, why in hell does that matter?<\/p>\n
