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

RUSH: Julian Assange at WikiLeaks claims that there are a whole lot more emails coming.  And he says that they are about Benghazi, but not so much what you think of when you hear Benghazi.  Have any of you ever stopped to ask yourself, “What were we doing there?” I mean, okay, we had just wiped out Khadafy, and terrorism rose up in that country out of control.  It was a hellhole.  It was a dangerous place to be. <\/p>\n

There was no reason to have to have a State Department annex anywhere near an embassy in Benghazi.  There was no reason for it diplomatically, particularly in the aftermath of having ousted Khadafy, which Hillary Clinton to this day claims was a major foreign policy achievement.  Well, you may have heard over the course of the recent past — a few years or so — that there was actually a gunrunning operation going on out of Benghazi. <\/p>\n

Have you heard that?  I have.  I have heard it I don\u2019t know how many times in different ways, and the upshot of it is that we, the United States, were running weapons to the Syrian “rebels” — ISIS — that we were running weapons to Islamic jihadists in Syria, ostensibly supporting their position in the civil war.  When you hear the rebels in Syria, the anti-Assadists and so forth, you\u2019re not supposed to think terrorists or ISIS, and that the ambassador Stevens was there to ensure the free flow of military armaments from the United States to Syria. <\/line><\/p>\n

Well, now, with the apparent imminent release of more emails from WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, — and he\u2019s intimidating that the emails he has back this up. We won\u2019t know until and after said email release actually happens.  But a lot of people have put a lot of stock in these… I guess you call \u2019em “rumors” up to now about what we were doing in Benghazi, because of what did happen, because of the four Americans who died in Benghazi, because of the lackadaisical attitude of Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

The depth of which we\u2019re not supposed to talk about now, and we\u2019re not supposed to have any sympathy for the parents of those people who died.  Isn\u2019t that interesting?  We\u2019re not supposed to even think about — we\u2019re not supposed any sympathy whatsoever for — Patricia Smith or any of the others whose family members perished there, because of government incompetence.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Yeah, yeah, I saw it.  No, I haven\u2019t mentioned it, \u2019cause if I get started analyzing the media every day, that would be all that I do here. But since you asked me, I\u2019ll mention it.  Today Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods — who was one of the four that was killed at Benghazi — has come forward and said (summarized), “Hey, Pat Smith is not alone.  Hillary Clinton also told me — in private and in public — that a YouTube video was responsible for the attack that led to the death of my son.”<\/p>\n

Charles Woods is saying Hillary\u2019s still lying about Benghazi.  He\u2019s been all over cable news.  He went on CNN; he\u2019s been on Fox.  He said, “There are two options.  One, either Mrs. Clinton is lying or she\u2019s had a bad memory because of her age or her head injury that she suffered.” She did have a concussion. She wore Coke bottle glasses for a while there, and plus, you know, having to avoid the sniper fire (which also didn\u2019t happen), but she did. <\/line><\/p>\n

She lied through her teeth about this, and so did Obama, and so did the media, and so did the Democrat Party for three weeks about this in the aftermath of Benghazi.  The point is this:  Mr. Woods was on CNN today, just as Pat Smith has been on CNN, and they get browbeat! They are harangued.  They are parents who have lost children, their sons and daughters. They\u2019ve lost their children in war, just like the Khans.  But they get beat up!<\/p>\n

They almost are accused of lying themselves by saying that Mrs. Clinton lied.  And both of them have stood firm.  Pat Smith went on CNN and said, “I\u2019ve been treated like dirt by you people,” and she has been.  Chris Matthews saying, “I don\u2019t care what that woman feels.” You know, on the one hand, the Democrats are praised to the hilt for bringing the Khans on stage and being at one with them and their empathy and all that.<\/p>\n

And at the same time, the same people in the media excoriate the Republicans for exploiting the emotions of parents who lost their sons at Benghazi.  I mean, the same reporters credit the Democrats for exploiting the Khans. “It was a great, noteworthy thing to do.” Do the same thing on the Republican side? They\u2019re excoriated for exploitation.  Anyway, on CNN today, Charles Woods was being interviewed, and he\u2019s obviously a quiet and very humble man, and Carol Costello kept demanding — even after getting his story, Mrs. Clinton lied…<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t interested, by the way, naturally.  And she kept asking him, “But don\u2019t you think, sir…? Wouldn\u2019t you advise Mr. Trump to apologize to the Khans?  Don\u2019t you think he should?”  Charles Wood was silent.  You could see him not believing the tone (chuckles) and the nature of the question he\u2019s being asked.  He is trying to come up with a response and remain dignified, but he wants to explode!  So got a CNN infobabe demanding, essentially, that he tell Trump or say that Trump ought to apologize to the Khans!<\/p>\n
