RUSH: Let\u2019s take a look at some of the international reporting here on the elections. It\u2019s interesting. This is from Reuters. The reporter is Crispian Balmer. The only thing you need to hear from this story. Quote ”There is less White House in America now and a little less America in the world,\u2019 said Dominique Moisi, special councillor [sic] at the French Institute of International Relations.\u2019 Good! ‘There is less White House in America now and a little less America in the world.\u2019 There isn\u2019t less America in the world yet, but part of me says, ‘Okay, France, you got all the answers? You solve the problems. We\u2019ll deal with what we have to deal with here, and you solve \u2019em.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Here is an AP writer in Baghdad, and we have a quote here from one of the aides to Muqtada al-Sadr known affectionately as Mookie here: ”The vote shows the Iraqi and American people are of one mind about withdrawing U.S. troops,\u2019 said Falah Hassan Shanshal, who leads the parliamentary bloc of radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. ‘We hope the Democrats don\u2019t forget their campaign promises. If they don\u2019t, we will deal with them in a brotherly way once the last American soldier pulls out from Iraq.” (Laughing.) Mookie al-Sadr is the #1 target in Iraq, ladies and gentlemen. If we\u2019d have wiped the guy out in Fallujah in the first six months of this war, it would have made a lot more sense. Again, here is what the guy says: ‘We hope the Democrats don\u2019t forget their campaign promises.\u2019 From a terrorist! ‘If they don\u2019t, we will deal with them in a brotherly way once the last American soldier pulls out of Iraq.\u2019 <\/p>\n

From Reuters: ‘Arabs Relish US Republican Election Losses.\u2019 Well, that says a lot, doesn\u2019t it? ”There will be a feeling that justice has been done partly, although not completely,\u2019 said Mustafa al-Sayyid, a political scientist at Cairo University. ‘People are realistic. A victory in Congress doesn\u2019t mean the administration will be forced to change its foreign policy. Moreover President Bush is known to be quite rigid. His approach is ideological and it is difficult to expect he will change.\u2019 … ‘It\u2019s something every Egyptian should see as excellent. We hope there\u2019ll be no more attacks on Muslim countries,\u2019 said Samer Kamel, a watch salesman in Cairo.<\/p>\n

‘Some Arabs also see the U.S. as being too forceful over demands for international troops for Sudan\u2019s war-ravaged Darfur region, where Bush has said genocide was taking place, a charge Khartoum denies.\u2019 This is an AP headline from Madrid: ‘Democrats Win in US, Embraced Overseas — From Paris to Pakistan, politicians, analysts and ordinary citizens said they hoped the Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives would force President Bush to adopt a more conciliatory approach to global crises, and teach a president many see as a ‘cowboy\u2019 a lesson in humility.\u2019 Hugo Chavez: ‘Of course, the citizens of the United States are humans with a conscience. It&lsquo;s a reprisal vote against the war in Iraq, against the corruption\u2019 within the Bush administration. All this fills us with optimism.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘In an extraordinary joint statement, more than 200 Socialist members of the European Parliament hailed the American election results as ‘the beginning of the end of a six-year nightmare for the world,\u2019 and gloated that they left the Bush administration seriously weakened. One Frenchman, teacher Jean-Pierre Charpemtrat, 53, said it was about time US voters figured out what much of the rest of the world already knew. ‘Americans are realizing that you can&lsquo;t found the politics of a country on patriotic passion and reflexes,\u2019 he said. ‘You can\u2019t fool everybody all the time &mdash; and I think that&lsquo;s what Bush and his administration are learning today.”<\/p>\n

‘Suleiman Hadad, a lawmaker in Syria, whose autocratic government has been shunned,\u2019 by the US. ‘Most governments across our region had no official comment but some opponents of the US reacted harshly. ‘President Bush is no longer acceptable worldwide,\u2019 said Suleiman Hadad, a lawmaker in Syria.\u2019 Oh, and there\u2019s this from Mexico, ladies and gentlemen: ”Gains by Democrats in the US congressional elections may help promote more liberal immigration policies sought by Mexico,\u2019 said President Vicente Fox spokesman yesterday. Mexico\u2019s been deeply disappointed by President Bush\u2019s failure to convince his own Republicans to accept a guest worker program.\u2019 Well, we don\u2019t have to worry about that anymore. That\u2019s going to be the first order of business, and the president said he\u2019s looking forward to moving this amnesty program forward now with a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives. Well, that angered Mexico, this refusal to open up the borders and let anybody from that country in. Mexico says here it ‘has more faith in the Democrats in the United States on immigration.\u2019<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Another international story from London on the election results: ‘America\u2019s Rejection of President George W. Bush\u2019s Iraq policy is a slap in the face for his allies, but it may give British premiere Tony Blair a chance to improve his standing at home by discussing exit options from Iraq.\u2019 Man, the world is happy about this; our enemies are happy about this election. I told you that the early voting was first initiated by the terrorists, and Mookie al-Sadr in that previous story, his spokesman admits that terrorists, as undecided voters, finally decided to vote Democrat. They\u2019re very happy with the outcome. <\/p>\n

Labour parliamentarian Ian Gibson who campaigned against the war said: ‘It\u2019s almost as if we\u2019ve just been waiting for this result rather than pushing to change things in our own time at our own speed. Anybody who\u2019s got a brain in his head will see what needs to happen and will be promoted by the Americans. We\u2019ll get phone call once they\u2019ve decided what to do and get the question.\u2019 From whom will the call come? President Bush, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha? I wouldn\u2019t put it past these guys to start calling our allies without telling Bush. I mean, they did it before. John Kerry was out there doing this kind of thing. <\/p>\n

Kerry, a good candidate. You know, he\u2019s haughty as all these other guys are, and he can call \u2019em and say, ‘We\u2019re working on this, and it won\u2019t be long now, and I want you to know you can trust me to take care of this,\u2019 and so forth. How many of you guys out there think that you are dull? (interruption) What? What are you laughing at? Oh, how do you say ‘Dear Comandante\u2019 in Farsi? Well, that it\u2019s ‘Dear Mookie.\u2019 You don\u2019t have to say ‘Dear Comandante,\u2019 dear Muqi. Thanks for your support, we\u2019re happy you\u2019re as happy as we are, and we\u2019re working on solving this problem. In fact, here, let\u2019s go audio sound bite number seven. Nancy Pelosi, the new speaker of the House on Fox News Channel last night with Brit Hume, and he asked her, ‘Is it more important to win or leave Iraq?\u2019<\/p>\n

PELOSI: The point is, this isn\u2019t a war to win, it\u2019s a — a situation to be solved and you define winning any way you want, but you must solve the problem.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You see how easy this is? You don\u2019t even tell yourself it\u2019s a war, you deny that it\u2019s a war. It\u2019s just a situation to be solved. And you define winning any way you want, like peace with honor or Vietnamization, in the case of the Vietnam War or Iraqi-ization, and you get out of there. You claim you won, and problem solved, and you move on to the next thing. It\u2019s not a war! We\u2019ve known this throughout the campaign that this is the attitude of the Democrats. Let\u2019s see. She was on Katie Couric. Well, even though this was on Katie Couric\u2019s news I\u2019m going to go ahead and play it, having read the transcript here. Katie Couric says, ‘The highest ranking woman in the US government. What does that mean to you?\u2019<\/p>\n

PELOSI: It\u2019s pretty exciting, I have to say. I\u2019m just so excited that a Democrat will be speaker of the House.<\/p>\n

COURIC: So you\u2019re Democrat first, a woman second?<\/p>\n

PELOSI: Well, in terms of politics, in terms of the change it will make for the American people, yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See? I told you this, too. Liberals are liberals first. Democrats are Democrats first. She\u2019s a liberal before she\u2019s a woman. But again, I know, according to our research that we\u2019re delving into on genetics here, which came first, Nancy Pelosi the woman or Nancy Pelosi the gene, the DNA, the liberal that became a woman? This is extensive research and there are people looking into it.<\/p>\n
