Rob, I appreciate the question, get the answer on the air. I\u2019m going to have to take a break before I get into this in great detail, but I appreciate the question. We have put together a montage of Katie Couric today on the Today Show was interviewing James Woolsey, the former director of the CIA, and her series of questions here in our montage will give you a great illustration of how the opponents of the president are now seeking to use this so-called new information. &#8220;Why, Iran might be involved with terrorism? Why, why, who woulda thought that?&#8221; So this is some earth-shattering new development to people and it\u2019s illustrated in this montage of questions.<\/line><BR\/>COURIC: There is new evidence that Iran, not Iraq, but Iran provided safe passage for eight to ten of the 14 hijackers. Iranian officials proposed a collaborating relationship with Al-Qaeda. Did the United States invade the wrong country? Might the United States or the war on terrorism have been better served if attention had been focused on Iran?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: All right. So the effort here is to &#8212; see, you have to understand about this. The left\u2019s whole hope, their last hope for winning this election resides on proving that Iraq was unnecessary; that it was a conspiracy; that it\u2019s all about oil for Bush and Cheney and Halliburton, that any information that comes out that says, &#8220;We didn\u2019t need to go to Iraq,&#8221; is going to do Bush in and going to launch us, and so now the real question is, to people who want to point to Iran, all right, what are we going to do about it? What would do you about it? You want to invade Iran, is that what you\u2019re saying Bush should have done? You think preemptive action in Iran&#8230;? We didn\u2019t know this? What you know now back when we went into Iraq, is this what we should do? Or did he mention Iran in the original axis-of-evil statement and say it\u2019s on the list and this is going to take a long time? That\u2019s the way to answer this. It isn\u2019t a big deal and don\u2019t let people make it a big deal. This is not news. <\/line><BR\/>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&amp;lt;*ICON*><strong>Your Resource for Combating the Partisan Media, Liberals and Bush-Haters&#8230; <\/strong><\/line><BR\/>&amp;lt;a target=new href=&#8221;\/home\/menu\/fstack.guest.html&#8221;>(&#8230;Rush\u2019s John F.
