Let me exhale here deeply. (exhale) Bill Clinton first announced &#8212; along with Madeleine Albright and John Kerry and Tom Daschle &#8212; the threat exposed by weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in 1998. &amp;lt;a target=new href=&#8221;\/\/home\/stacks\/democrat.guest.html&#8221;>(Democrat Quotes on Saddam\u2019s WMD)&amp;lt;\/a> The United Nations had a number of resolutions starting in 1991. UN inspectors went over and found evidence of it. Worldwide intelligence sources also found evidence. So from 1998 until 2003, we didn\u2019t do diddly-squat about it, giving Saddam many years to get rid of whatever it was everybody knew that he had. Do you think waiting five years was not waiting long enough?<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/why_not_the_worst.Par.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"184\" height=\"185\" class=\"alignright\"\/> CALLER: Well, I know that, uh, all the &#8212; all the estimates that his production capabilities at the time prior to the war were off, misleading, wrong, and I just &#8212; I don\u2019t think the American people were in for a ten-year stint on &#8212; on the freedom of the Iraqi people or, you know, you know, more likely the case, a beachhead in the Middle East to project force for a global fight on terror.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I think a lot of people <emphasize>would <\/emphasize>be in favor of that. I don\u2019t think too many of you people on the left would knowing how you despise and recoil at the very mention of the US military. But I\u2019m trying to still get the connection here. Notice, my friends, I\u2019m being compassionate, understanding, polite, temperate, all these very difficult things to do when confronted with sheer stupidity. (Ahem) Sorry. We\u2019re supposed to keep asking these questions. The media is supposed to keep asking Major General Caldwell these questions to find out what <emphasize>really <\/emphasize>happened to Zarqawi, because if we\u2019d taken the time to ask these questions &#8212; if we\u2019d have taken the time to ask questions about WMD &#8212; why, we may never have even been there and then this wouldn\u2019t have happened and we wouldn\u2019t have these questions of Zarqawi, and we wouldn\u2019t be building a <emphasize>beachhead <\/emphasize>to expand military operations in the Middle East <emphasize>from <\/emphasize>that base. <\/line><BR\/>You know, I actually have a new mantra for you libs: &#8220;Why not the worst?&#8221; <\/line><BR\/>Why not the worst? <\/line><BR\/>Liberal Democrats, when you\u2019re putting together your presidential campaign for 2008, I want the motto and the slogan to be: &#8220;Why not the worst?

Why not make the US military absolutely <emphasize>worthless <\/emphasize>and impotent? Why not?
