RUSH: Let\u2019s go back to the audio sound bites. We\u2019re gonna pick up here at number seven. We have a media montage. The media twisting themselves into pretzels to try to see the Obama Doctrine in this Libyan mess. Now, remember, you know what the Obama Doctrine is. It\u2019s three words: “2012 or Bust.”<\/p>\n

BLITZER: The clearest form of what we can call the Obama Doctrine, when to deploy US military forces around the world. <\/p>\n

GERGEN: The emerging Obama Doctrine. Unless we are directly threatened, he\u2019s only going to use force in extremely limited circumstances.<\/p>\n

HENRY: Laying out an Obama Doctrine, when he said, “I refuse to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves.” <\/p>\n

SPITZER: There is the beginning of a doctrine about how President Obama views the use of force.<\/p>\n

KUCINICH: This is a new Obama Doctrine, which is that you act on threats.<\/p>\n

ENGEL: Talked about a new doctrine of preemptive war, going to war when the President of the United States doesn\u2019t feel it is morally right not to go to war.<\/p>\n

MORGAN: It\u2019s an unusual doctrine<\/p>\n

RUSH: That was Piers Morgan at CNN. It\u2019s an unusual doctrine. Well, everybody\u2019s got their own theory as to what the doctrine is. I would have been embarrassed to say half of those, what I thought the doctrine is. I mean, “The emerging doctrine, unless we\u2019re directly threatened. We\u2019re only gonna use force in limited circumstances.” That\u2019s a doctrine? “There\u2019s a beginning of a doctrine about how Obama views the use of force.” That\u2019s a doctrine? “You act on threats.” That\u2019s what Dennis Kucinich said the Obama Doctrine is, you act on threats. Last night on CNN Piers Morgan spoke with Rudy Giuliani. Question: “What happens if, as we\u2019re seeing now in Syria, for example, you\u2019re seeing the leadership there killing large numbers of people, ever-increasing numbers of people, same kind of argument. You know there\u2019s a humanitarian situation in Syria, likely to be one in Yemen, both probably more dangerous places than Libya as far as the security of America than Libya. What do we do?”<\/p>\n

GIULIANI: To say that he has a policy, even like an Obama Doctrine, is really just a fawning on Obama. There\u2019s no doctrine in this. Here\u2019s the doctrine, if France wants us to do it, if the UN wants us to do it, if the Arab League wants us to do it, then we\u2019ll do it, that\u2019s the Obama Doctrine.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Rudy\u2019s close. The Obama Doctrine is it\u2019s the UN. Our sovereignty, we\u2019re waving it good-bye. Obama didn\u2019t go to Congress. He went to the UN. He appoints NATO. Citizen of the world. James Carville, last night, CNN, The Situation Room. Wolf Blitzer: “So, you think the president made a mistake by doing this?”<\/p>\n

CARVILLE: You know, there was always a good reason to go in Iraq. There was a good reason to go in Afghanistan. There\u2019s a good reason to go in Pakistan. There was a good reason to go in Libya. There\u2019ll be a good reason to go in Bahrain. There\u2019ll be a good reason to start a war anywhere. And, you know, I don\u2019t know, but we\u2019re a little tuckered out here. I don\u2019t know if he made a mistake. You know, the secretary of state and other people really were urging him it was a humanitarian crisis. I hope that it turns out to be the right decision.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s James Carville speaking from a barrel toss in New Orleans. The partying continues in the French Quarter. Ed Henry last night, The Situation Room, CNN, Wolf Blitzer said, “Set the scene for us. Give us a little bit of the flavor of what\u2019s going on there in the Oval Office here. Obama is getting ready to make history.”<\/p>\n

HENRY: A lot of people expect that an address about military action tends to be in the Oval Office. In private administration officials acknowledge the president didn\u2019t want an Oval Office address because he did not want to raise the stakes any more or raise the level of this and compare it to Iraq, Afghanistan, because his point tonight is that this is a much more limited engagement than either one of those conflicts.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Ed Henry on the case. Did anybody understand what he said? You got it? More comfortable standing alone, godlike reverb. Donald Trump was on CNN last night. Every sound bite here is from CNN. Well, partly because MSNBC, I\u2019ve said no more, no more sound bites from MSNBC primetime. So we gotta go somewhere. Trump was on with Piers Morgan. Question: “When you hear Obama say that he wants to get rid of Khadafy but he doesn\u2019t want regime change, does that make sense to you?”<\/p>\n

TRUMP: It makes no sense whatsoever. What he said just makes absolutely no sense, and at this point if you don\u2019t get rid of Khadafy, it\u2019s a major, major black eye for this country, but you also have to ask the other question, who\u2019s paying for this? You have Saudi Arabia, the Arab League, the richest nations in the world saying, “Go in and get him. We don\u2019t like him. Go in and get him.” And why aren\u2019t they paying for this?<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing) I get the impression Trump doesn\u2019t like paying for much. He\u2019s got a good point here, everybody is saying, “You go get \u2019em, you go get \u2019em, you go get \u2019em, you go get \u2019em.” Okay, how much you gonna pay us? Makes perfect sense to me, too. <\/p>\n
