Let\u2019s go back to this story. Keep in mind what Kerry just said, &#8220;If I get intelligence, you can bet I\u2019ll go in there,&#8221; and I\u2019ll kick ass. I remind you, &#8220;The September 11 commission report due out Thursday says that Iran may have facilitated the 2001 attacks in the U.S. by providing eight to ten Al-Qaeda hijackers with safe passage to and from training camps in Afghanistan. Weekly magazines TIME and Newsweek in similar reports quoting congressional commission and government sources says that Iran relaxed border controls, provided clean passports for the so-called muscle hijackers, to transit Iran to and from Osama bin Laden\u2019s camps between October 2000 and February 2001. According to TIME, the commission\u2019s report said that Iran at one point proposed collaborating with Al-Qaeda on attacks against the U.S. but that bin Laden declined, saying he didn\u2019t want to alienate his supporters in Saudi Arabia. TIME said the Iranian offer to collaborate with Al-Qaeda to attack the U.S. was made after the October 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 sailors as the ship was being refueled in Yemen. &#8216;The offer,\u2019 said TIME, &#8216;was turned down by bin Laden because he didn\u2019t want to alienate his supporters in Saudi Arabia.'&#8221;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>So guess what? Osama turns down some religious fanatics here in Iran. How about he turns down some religious fanatics because he doesn\u2019t want to alienate people in Saudi Arabia, his supporters there! Now, you have to understand what this represents to the Democrats and the liberals today. This is even better for them, that Bush might have screwed up and sent us into the wrong country. Wow, this is even better! Now they can say Iraq <emphasize>really <\/emphasize>wasn\u2019t necessary. Bush screwed it up. <\/line><BR\/>The question that needs to be asked, and I will ask it: <emphasize>Senator Kerry, since you said Friday that you support preemptive action when you\u2019ve got the intelligence, what are you going to do about Iran if you are elected president? Are you going to deal with them? because, remember, Bush put them on the original axis of evil list<\/emphasize>. When everybody hooted and howled about how provocative that was. It was unnecessary. We didn\u2019t need to go provoking these nations, bad enough they\u2019re out there, but to call them evil! Why, that\u2019s God. That\u2019s too much religion. We don\u2019t need people talking that way. We don\u2019t like the way he uses the word <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/comes_out_for_preemptive_war.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"315\" height=\"110\" class=\"alignright\"\/>evildoers, that religious talk. We don\u2019t want to hear that. Well, you guys on the left have to be real careful about this because you\u2019re so ready to get rid of Iraq you may end up with an even bigger problem: <emphasize>Iran. <\/emphasize>Because if Iran is what you guys claim Iraq was and we were lied about, we\u2019ve got to do something about Iran, at some point &#8212; and your candidate has just said he\u2019s for preemptive action, so hubba hubba! What we going to do about Iran now? That\u2019s what I want to know. I want to know what those of you who claim that you\u2019re going to defend us and you\u2019re going to see to it these attacks don\u2019t happen again because you\u2019re going to do it &#8220;smarter,&#8221; and you\u2019re going to do it &#8220;wiser,&#8221; and you\u2019re going to make sure that there\u2019s no oil involved and all this other happy-go-lucky Marquetty mark. I want to know what you\u2019re going to do about Iran.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Well, don\u2019t give me this diplomacy business. &#8220;Oh, we\u2019re going to talk to \u2019em,&#8221; just like Ricky Holbrooke said we\u2019re going to talk to North Korea. &#8220;We\u2019re going to talk to \u2019em <emphasize>long. <\/emphasize>We\u2019re going to bore \u2019em. We\u2019re going to sit there and bore these enemies to death. They\u2019re going to get so sick of us talking to them they\u2019ll run away from us.&#8221; Is that the strategery? Let\u2019s put this away. Don\u2019t worry about, I\u2019ll keep this filed away. When this pops back up &#8212; and it probably will happen this week &#8212; it\u2019s going to become relevant because Kerry stepped in it with this, when he\u2019s out there saying he\u2019s for preemptive action. <\/line><BR\/>COMMERCIAL BREAK<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Kevin in Blacksburg, Virginia. You\u2019re next, and hello, sir.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Hello, Rush, thank you for taking my call.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You bet.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Dittos from academia and 20-something America.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I just wanted to bring up the point that the Democrats are actually doing the Bush team a heck of a favor by focusing on Iran now. In that the one thing the American people seem to have never understood was the strategic importance of the Iraq war, as it pertains to the global war on terror. And Iran, fortunately, as it may be, is surrounded by Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf. So as such, we have them completely surrounded if we so choose to go in there at some point. And I think the Bush team has an opportunity here to score some political points and demonstrate to the American people that the Iraq war was the right thing to do.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You raise an interesting point, not so much the fact that we got these dudes surrounded in Iran, although that is true. We\u2019re in the Persian Gulf. We\u2019re in Afghanistan. We\u2019re in Iraq. They are &#8220;surrounded,&#8221; but here\u2019s the thing that interests me about this. Out of the blue, this 9\/11 commission &#8212; we haven\u2019t heard a word about this in public testimony; we haven\u2019t heard a thing about this. Zip, zero, nada. Who gave them this information? You know, there are five Republicans on this commission. I mean, it is supposedly bipartisan. Everybody thinks the Democrats ran this commission, but all of a sudden here there\u2019s a leak and what does it &#8212; Iraq, and guess who\u2019s harping on it? All the Democrats. The press, they\u2019re sitting around. This is almost a rope-a-dope, because now you\u2019ve got the people who don\u2019t think there ought to be any preemptive action, don\u2019t think that Iraq was worth it, none of this and that, are harping on Iran and how serious it is &#8212; the very people who are <emphasize>opposed <\/emphasize>to taking any kinds of preemptive action. Now, how does it work out that the enemies of this war now become the big blowhards, if you will, on the gathering threat in Iran? Bush can say, &#8220;Hey, I\u2019m sitting around minding my own business and the Congress says I ought to look into what\u2019s going on in Iran, and I think, well, that\u2019s a good idea. I think I\u2019m going to take the advice of my fellow congressmen and senators and take a look at what\u2019s going on in Iran.&#8221; Now, he won\u2019t do it that way, because they could say, &#8220;You dunderhead! You should have known it all along.&#8221;<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/comes_out_for_preemptive_war.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"135\" height=\"165\" class=\"alignleft\"\/> The source of this is interesting. Whoever told this to the 9\/11 commission &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; I\u2019ll guarantee you it isn\u2019t Terry McAuliffe. It\u2019s not Richard Ben-Veniste. None of the Democrats figured this out and leaked it. This is a trick. When I say it\u2019s a &#8220;trick,&#8221; I don\u2019t say it\u2019s <emphasize>not <\/emphasize>true. It is a political maneuver that needs to be done because there is a clear and gathering threat in Iran and there always has been. It\u2019s on the original list of axis of evil nations. But now the opponents, the people staking their political future to the notion that Iraq was pointless are now pointing, &#8220;No, we should have gone into Iran.&#8221; Okay, we should have gone into Iran. Let\u2019s go. Let\u2019s take care of it. If we should have gone, you\u2019re going to support us now, <emphasize>right? <\/emphasize>&#8220;Well, I wouldn\u2019t say that. I want to talk to them first.&#8221; Well, so we\u2019ll just see. This is not getting as much play yet as it will. I mean, this story is from Friday, by the way. This story hit Friday night, by the way, long after the EIB\u2019s excursion of broadcast excellence was over so today the first chance we\u2019ve had to talk about it. Here\u2019s Doug in Los Angeles. Hi, Doug. Welcome to the program. Yeah.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to talk to you.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You saved me from the clutches of the emotional appeal of liberalism my freshman year in college. I\u2019ve been listening ever since. Thank you.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You\u2019re welcome, sir.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I have two things to run by you to see what you have to see. The nuclear threat posed by Iran. I could see liberals saying, &#8220;You know, Bush went to Iraq while this other threat was gathering.&#8221; I think we don\u2019t need to worry about that because there\u2019s no way on earth Israel will ever let that happen. They took out Saddam\u2019s nuclear facilities in the 80s and they\u2019re going to do it again.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: In fact, you probably have seen this yourself which might be one of the reasons propelling your call, and that is that the Israelis have said this. The Israelis, if there\u2019s going to be a nuclear arms factory built in Iran, they\u2019re taking it out.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: They\u2019re not going to wait because they know that they\u2019re target. They\u2019re going to be the first target of such production and they\u2019re going to do it just as they took it out in Iraq, and they\u2019re going to let the world complain and moan, the Kofi Annans of the world demand the resolutions of censorship and all this, but they\u2019re going to do it. I saw it during show prep today. It\u2019s not factual. When I say not factual, I mean it\u2019s a not a rumor, but it hasn\u2019t been officially stated by the Israeli government is what I mean, but it\u2019s sourced. I think that this is in general going to be a wake-up call to everybody because all this is &#8212; check the timing, you\u2019re the right about this, Doug, check the timing of this because the past six months the international atomic agency, whatever it is, the month ham &#8212; yes, ElBaradei, I get these Mohammeds confused. This Mohamed ElBaradei has been begging the Iranians, &#8220;Please don\u2019t do this. We think they\u2019re doing something crazy, and we can\u2019t stop them, but we hope they change their minds.&#8221; All this little hands-off stuff. Meanwhile, the world hasn\u2019t done anything about it, the world is not doing a thing about it. The UN\u2019s got ElBaradei over there. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Now, all this has been going on, and this is a country that\u2019s got as much oil as they need. They don\u2019t need nuclear for power, and that\u2019s what they say it\u2019s for. Given who they are, the only sensible thing is to prepare for the fact that they\u2019re making weapons. It would be irresponsible not to prepare for that. So, all this has been going on, now the left is all of a sudden pointing fingers at Iran and pretty soon it\u2019s going to move to the top of the list of the focus of evil nations.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Agreed, and that\u2019s where my second thing I want you to comment on comes in. I know you touched on this earlier. Kerry has now flipped to saying he supports &#8220;preemptive (action),&#8221; but I want to go back to the flop where he said he would go to the United Nations. Say we had some sort of proof, some sort of satellite pictures or something that, you know? They\u2019re pretty far in their nuclear ambition. Does anyone really believe that the United Nations, France and China would actually give us the green light to go in and take that out? I mean, I can\u2019t see that ever happening.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s &#8212;<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: What would John Kerry do?<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, this is another: <emphasize>How can we trust John Kerry?<\/emphasize> Your very question about it means we can\u2019t put him in the White House.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: We don\u2019t know what he would do and we have doubts that he would do anything to protect the nation if the UN stepped in his way. I mean because that\u2019s pretty much what he said. But he\u2019s also said, &#8220;I can get the UN to go along. I can get France and Germany to go along with us.&#8221; The fallacy of that is, and the reason he wants people to believe it, is he thinks he can do it because he can make the French and Germans like him whereas the French and Germans hate Bush &#8212; and that\u2019s not what\u2019s happening. Doug, this is key and Henry Kissinger wrote a piece on this last week and this is something to understand about the French, particularly the French and Germans. A lot of these western European nations, but particularly France and Germany, don\u2019t believe this notion that the reason the French and the Germans and even the Russians opposed us in Iraq because they don\u2019t like Bush. Nations do not make decisions on the basis of personality. Tony Blair worked with this country both with Clinton and with Bush. Everybody assumed he did with Clinton because he loved Clinton because they were soul mates. <emphasize>Wrong. <\/emphasize>He was doing what was in the nation\u2019s best interests as he saw it. The United Kingdom\u2019s best interests. That\u2019s what France is doing. <\/line><BR\/>France is acting in what it thinks are its best interests. Now, what are those best interests? It\u2019s not just that the French oppose us. The French have something else going on. While we look at ourselves as a stand-alone sovereign nation, we make the mistake of looking at these other countries as stand-alone sovereign nations as well. The French: stand-alone sovereign nation. Germany: stand-alone sovereign nation. They are not anymore. They are <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/comes_out_for_preemptive_war.Par.0003.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"340\" height=\"130\" class=\"alignright\"\/> seeking to unify just as we are the United States. They are seeking to unify as the European Union. They\u2019ve been writing their constitution. In fact, they don\u2019t want God mentioned in their founding documents. Pat on the back for old El Rushbo here, describing leftists &#8212; and what the French are trying to do is establish themselves as the leading nation of the European Union. They want to be the United States of Europe, which means standing up to us. They have their <emphasize>own <\/emphasize>interests. It\u2019s not about not liking Bush. The point is they would be on this course even if Kerry were in office. Kerry is not going to get Jacques Chirac to set aside his personal ambitions just because he likes John Kerry. He probably doesn\u2019t like John Kerry any more than he likes any other American. Ditto with Gerhard Schroeder. <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>It\u2019s a myth to assume that all these European nations are simply in bed with Kerry because they\u2019re fellow socialists or they like Kerry personally. It has nothing to do with it. So when you come to Iran, the reason the French are going to oppose the United States at the United Nations is very simple: anything that establishes the United States as the go-to nation in the world &#8212; as the nation that you have to rely on to fix problems, the nation that rights the wrongs of the world, the nation that protects the oppressed of the world, the nation that has the power to do anything that allows the U.S. to assume and illustrate that position &#8212; will be denied. Because it\u2019s not in the best interests of the French, who want to set themselves up in their own little conclave within the context of the European Union as much the same thing.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Now, I don\u2019t know if the French have sweetheart business deals under the table with the Iranian mullahs as they had with Saddam. That was one of the primary reasons they opposed us in Iraq, and they would have had Kerry been there, they would have had it been Ronald Reagan in there, wouldn\u2019t have mattered. They were going to oppose us because they were in on the corruption of the oil-for-palaces deal plus they had their own under the table arrangements, so did the Russians and so did the Germans. So I think Iran poses a whole different set of circumstances. Iraq is one set. Iran is a whole different equation. And Iran is not, you know, there\u2019s one guy, Mohammed Khatami but there\u2019s a series of mullahs that run the show over there but there\u2019s a big difference. The population of Iran is fed up. The population of Iran with a little nudging would revolt. Many experts believe that Iran is not even a military problem right now. They could be handled with just a little support without military. I don\u2019t know. This is just what some think tank people that I respect have written and said. But it\u2019s different equation. But the nuke component, coupled with the new awareness by the American left that Iraq is a clear and gathering danger, whether they know it or not, is falling right into the trap. Iran, Iran. Yeah, sorry. Iraq, our Q\u2019s and N\u2019s sometimes confuse me. I have verbal dyslexia now and then. It was a busy weekend and a late night, so stick with me.<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>You know, when I meant &#8220;Iran&#8221; when I said Iraq. You\u2019re just trying to help out. That\u2019s right, I meant Iran when I said Iraq. For the sake of this discussion, Iraq doesn\u2019t exist. If I say Iraq, I mean Iran. Anyway, I\u2019ve said what I had to say about it. I\u2019d only be repetitive if I kept going. Thanks, Doug, for the phone call.<\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;*ICON*&amp;gt;<strong>Your Resource for Combating the Partisan Media, Liberals and Bush-Haters&#8230; <\/strong><\/line><BR\/><a href=\"\/\/\/home\/menu\/fstack.guest.html\">(&#8230;Rush\u2019s John F.
