I\u2019ve heard people lamenting &#8212; this is funny &#8212; I\u2019ve heard people all over the media today, commentary, about this being December 7th, Pearl Harbor day, so many people today have no idea what Pearl Harbor day means or what its significance is. And I said, &#8220;Why are you surprised? Who could be surprised by this? Most people don\u2019t remember 9\/11 and what its significance was, so how in the hell are we going to expect people to remember December the 7th?&#8221; December 7th, Pearl Harbor day. No, the big day in American history was yesterday, December 6th, Baker-Hamilton Day. Grab the &#8220;Talk to the Animals&#8221; parody, Mike. I\u2019m going to be calling for that here in mere moments.<\/p>\n<p>One of the silliest notions in this surrender report is talking to our enemies. I mentioned this yesterday. Baker, &#8220;Well, we talked to the Soviet Union for 40 years.&#8221; Yeah, and we also deployed Pershing missiles in Europe, as well as spent them into oblivion because we were taking them on. It was Reagan idealism that prevailed over the Soviet Union and the evil of Soviet communism. These people are running around talking about &#8220;the new realism, the new realism.&#8221; It\u2019s bureaucrat-speak. It\u2019s nothing but elitist hogwash. Realism, pragmatism, consensus, bipartisanship. It\u2019s all bunk. In the first place there\u2019s nothing wrong with partisanship. Bipartisanship means that somebody had to cave, and guess who caved? It was our side that caved on this because this document pretty much &#8212; in fact the Democrats, they\u2019re accusing the commission of plagiarism essentially.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re running around saying, &#8220;Well, we\u2019re happy to see they took our ideas. Most of these ideas in this surrender group report are ours.&#8221; Pelosi\u2019s out there saying it, Reid\u2019s out there saying it. Stop short of this, gang, because they didn\u2019t take John Murtha\u2019s idea of cut-and-run, they specifically reject that. But this notion of talking to our enemies, the west and the United Nations, we\u2019ve been talking to Iran for what now on their nuclear program, three years? If it\u2019s three years, it\u2019s six. I mean, how long have we been talking to them? The result is what? They are three years closer to nukes. We\u2019re going to talk to them next month, they\u2019re going to be a month closer to nukes. We\u2019re going to talk to them another six years, they\u2019re going to be six years closer to nukes. Oh, yeah. But we can do this in a bipartisan fashion, we can make everybody feel better and we can make people think that we\u2019re going to get along with these people because we can go talk to them.<\/p>\n<p>Well, how about going back in time, turning back the pages of history and looking at another time in American history with a talk-to-the-enemy result. The day before Pearl Harbor, Baker-Hamilton Day 1941 &#8212; that would be December 6th. By the way, I\u2019m going to make a motion that all these calendars that you go out and buy either on your computer or at the bookstore, whatever, have an official notation now, December 6th, Baker-Hamilton Day. Just Baker-Hamilton, Iraq Surrender Group Study Day. Put it on the calendar and make it official. It\u2019s one of the biggest days in American history, judging by the way these worthless nomads in the Drive-By Media are celebrating and reacting to it. It\u2019s the biggest day in American history in their lives certainly. But going back to December 6th, 1941, in the afternoon Japan sent the first segments of a 14-part message to its embassy in Washington, and the instructions were ordering the Japanese ambassador to present final demands to the United States at one p.m. Washington time tomorrow, December 7th.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-399197\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/585-Pearl-Harbor-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/585-Pearl-Harbor-2.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/585-Pearl-Harbor-2-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/585-Pearl-Harbor-2-480x263.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>The message is intercepted and decoded by the US Navy\u2019s cryptographic department, lieutenant commander Alvin Cramer. He shows the message to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who reads the document and said, &#8216;This means war.\u2019 He then immediately sends a personal message to Japan\u2019s emperor Hirohito attempting to open dialogue, attempting to talk to the enemy. Wants to start negotiations afresh. The message from FDR to Hirohito reached Tokyo after a long delay which was caused by the Japanese state telegraph agency. US ambassador to Japan, Joseph C. Grew passes it on to the foreign ministry and asks for an immediate audience with the emperor. Prime minister Hideki Tojo denied the American request. But FDR wanted to talk to the Japanese, wanted to talk to the Japanese, wanted to talk, we can solve the problem, start negotiations anew. But Tojo said, huh-uh, not interested. Not Japan bashing here. I\u2019m just trying to give you a little reality check on the Baker-Hamilton diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>The one group, the one country that the group wants no involvement in any discussion over there is Israel. This plan, if it were implemented and if it ever happened can only succeed if Israel sold out. The right of return basically is endorsed by this idiot bunch of people, which would allow the Palestinians to head home and claim what they claim was theirs prior to 1948, Jerusalem and everything else. This is a political statement.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Let me share with you the words of Bill Bennett writing at National Review Online about the Iraq Surrender Group. He says, &#8216;I\u2019ve heard again and again &#8212; at the press conference and on subsequent interviews &#8212; variants of &#8216;this is how a commission should work in Washington,\u2019 &#8216;this has been great bi-partisanship,\u2019 &#8216;it\u2019s too bad we can\u2019t operate this way more,\u2019 &#8216;if any message is to be sent it\u2019s the message that five Republicans and five Democrats of goodwill sat down since March and put together a remarkable document.&#8221; Those are some of the things being said about this embarrassment and abomination of a report. As Uncle Bob\u2019s brother, Bill, says, &#8216;This is the triumph of the therapeutic, where bipartisanship &#8212; a hug across the aisle &#8212; has become a higher value than justice. The crisis of the house divided has been inverted; we no longer are worried about the crisis but the House, the moral, the good, and the just take a backseat to collegiality. Does history really give a hoot about bipartisanship? Who cares whether they are getting along?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Show me the book in the library, &#8220;Great Bipartisanship in American History.&#8221; Where does it happen? &#8220;The task is to do the right thing, especially in war. But, when relativism is the highest value, agreement becomes the highest goal, regardless of right and wrong. And, woe to those who disagree, they will be sent whence they came &#8211; the outer reaches of &#8216;extremism.\u2019 This is the tyranny of the &#8216;best people\u2019 today?s equivalent of the Cliveden set. One reporter asked if the president would accept this &#8216;edict,\u2019&#8211;&#8221; This was Dana Bash at CNN &#8212; we talked about it yesterday &#8212; exhibiting a total lack of understanding of how the Constitution is set up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bennett concludes, &#8220;In all my time in Washington I\u2019ve never seen such smugness, arrogance, or such insufferable moral superiority. Self-congratulatory. Full of itself. Horrible.&#8221; You want to hear some great lines from this report? Try this. Recommendation number 19. &#8220;The president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership.&#8221; Wow. That\u2019s recommendation number 19. There are 79 recommendations in this thing, and here\u2019s number 19. &#8220;The president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you realize how fortunate we are to have such brilliant Republicans and Democrats on the surrender group to come up with that? I mean, folks, this is special. Not a one of us has the brain power, the intellect, the insight, the enlightenment to ever conclude something this brilliant. This is why we need special people, my friends, who do not see the world in such simplistic terms, but rather see the world as a complex morass of gray and shades of gray, and only with their superior insight and intellect can they conclude that the president and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership. Would you like another one? &#8220;The support group should consist of Iraq and all the states bordering Iraq, and of course Iraq itself.&#8221; Well, how long did they have to write this? I\u2019ve read that to you as it &#8212; I\u2019ve truncated it, but &#8220;the support group should consist of Iraq and all the states bordering Iraq and of course Iraq itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-386428\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/09\/RushFlagEIB585.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/09\/RushFlagEIB585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/09\/RushFlagEIB585-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2004\/09\/RushFlagEIB585-480x185.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>So Iraq is mentioned twice. &#8220;Although Iran sees its interests to have the United States bogged down in Iraq, Iran\u2019s interests would not be served by a failure of US policy in Iraq that led to chaos and the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state.&#8221; Now, that, frankly, is scary, because that\u2019s exactly what Iran wants. That\u2019s what they are trying to create. This is what they are fomenting themselves. This is unbelievable! &#8220;Although Iran sees it in its interests to have the US bogged down in Iraq &#8211;&#8221; now, just take that and put it aside. Iran wants to see us bogged down. It\u2019s in their interests for us to be in chaotic circumstances. &#8220;Iran\u2019s interests would not be served by a failure of US policy in Iraq that led to chaos and the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state.&#8221; Well, if anything\u2019s going to lead to the territorial disintegration of the Iraqi state it\u2019s going to be when we get out and the Iranians and the Syrians overrun the place, which they would love. Yet the Iraq surrender group said, &#8220;Oh, no, no, no, no, no, that\u2019s not what the Iranians are interested in here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a passage in the surrender group report on Syria and what Syria can expect to get if it pitches in and helps us solve the problem in Iraq. Quote, &#8216;In exchange for these actions and in the context of a full and secure peace agreement, the Israelis should return the Golan Heights with sustainable negotiations leading to a final peace settlement which would address the key final status issues of borders, settlements, Jerusalem, the right of return, and the end of conflict.\u2019 So what we are prepared to offer &#8212; so what this group wants to offer Syria for their help, is Israel. This document sells Israel out, our lone ally. And, by the way, they are not invited to be part of the international support group to discuss the circumstances there. Yes, Mr. Snerdley? Program observer has a question. What\u2019s the question? Make it brief. Mr. Snerdley\u2019s question is an obvious question, it\u2019s a very logical question, a question that many of you are no doubt asking &#8212; what is the question again? &#8216;What the hell are they trying to do excluding Israel?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It is clear to me that several members of this study group think that Israel is the problem. But you have to ask &#8212; Mark Steyn addressed that, by the way. He did it very well here. &#8216;For the Baker group to endorse this clapped out pan-Arabism is disgusting. An &#8216;Arab-Israeli peace\u2019? What does that mean? What exactly is Israel doing to Iraq, or Tunisia, or Qatar, or any other Arabs except those in the &#8216;Palestinian territories\u2019? To frame it in those terms is to adopt the pathologies of the enemy. Shame on Baker, Hamilton and all the rest.\u2019 This is exactly right. Israel is being portrayed as the problem here. There\u2019s an undertone in this document that pretty much leads me to believe that many in the group feel this way, staff, whoever wrote this thing. But Steyn is right: What\u2019s Israel doing to Saudi Arabia? What\u2019s Israel doing to Qatar? What\u2019s Israel doing to Dubai? Israel is doing nothing to anybody. What\u2019s Israel doing to Iran? What\u2019s Israel got to do with this at all? Jimmy Carter could have written this. Jimmy Carter could have done the press conference yesterday. This is right out of the Jimmy Carter brain such that it still is. Jeff in San Francisco, you\u2019re first on the phones today. Welcome on the program.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: It is so good to have you on the radio, man, I can\u2019t tell you. I\u2019m calling basically about Leon Panetta. Leon Panetta\u2019s comments, he lectures the president, and he says the president understands that we have to &#8212; we can\u2019t be divided.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yeah, he told the president, &#8216;Mr. President, the country is divided on this, we can\u2019t have that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: The Democrats spent the last two years under the direction of Nancy Pelosi on a take no prisoners, oppose the president, oppose everything that the administration tried to do for success in Iraq, and now to come out and say the president is responsible for us being divided.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s exactly right, no, no, no, from Panetta\u2019s standpoint, from Pelosi\u2019s standpoint, from Reid\u2019s standpoint, from their arrogant, condescending smugness standpoint, they\u2019re exactly right. You know, bipartisanship simply means Republicans cave on their core principles and agree with Democrats. That\u2019s why everybody is praising the stupid report. Because there\u2019s nothing in this about winning, there\u2019s nothing in this about victory. There isn\u2019t anything in this about moving forward in a positive way. This is cut-and-run, surrender without the words.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-399287\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushPelosiCrazy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushPelosiCrazy.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushPelosiCrazy-300x103.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushPelosiCrazy-480x164.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>CALLER: I know, and they took nine months and they came up with 79 ridiculous suggestions. If they were serious in their dealings, they would have come up with one, two, three big ideas&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, wait.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; that would help us win.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: You gotta understand. These people are serious. They did what they think is the best work they could have done. They\u2019ve come up with what they think are the smartest recommendations available. Now, I\u2019m not trying to be funny here. I want you to understand who these people are. They are not the best and brightest, but they themselves think so. Who with any humanity at all could write recommendation 19? &#8216;It\u2019s important for the US president and his national security team to remain in constant contact with Iraq.\u2019 What? What? I would be embarrassed to put that in. That\u2019s something that a junior high school essayist on a final exam might throw in or a Miss America Pageant contestant who wants to be Miss America on an agenda of world peace. But this is absurd. This is actually embarrassing. This is what passes for the best and brightest and those people think they are.<\/p>\n<p>As to Pelosi and Reid and the Democrats dividing the country, you\u2019re absolutely right, they have. But they say it\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault because Bush isn\u2019t them, Bush isn\u2019t listening to them. In order to understand liberals &#8212; and I know you do, Jeff, because you are surrounded by them out there. By the way, how\u2019s the aroma of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies today at the bus stops? What you have to understand, folks, is that there is arrogance. It is a pompous arrogance and condescension. Liberals are so arrogant and pompous and condescending, they will not even deign to discuss these things with people because it\u2019s beneath them to do so. If you don\u2019t have the smarts to understand it, you\u2019re not worth talking to, instead they\u2019ll call you names. So they do. Look it, when they tell you, or Panetta says that the country is divided and it\u2019s up to Bush to do something about it, Panetta is being genuinely honest. It\u2019s up to Bush to adopt Democrat ideas, to get rid of this divide.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>This from the Washington Post. Just to illustrate what I was just saying. The story here: &#8216;From Hundreds Of Sources, Panel Forged Consensus &#8212; Intense Talks Bridged Ideological Divide.\u2019 This is written by Peter Baker, Robin Wright and Dafna Linzer. There\u2019s only one relevant paragraph in here to make it clear to you how the Washington intelligentsia, the elites, the liberals look at this. &#8216;Whether the end result will prove meaningful is another question. A plan emerging from the middle invariably unsettles those at either end who view it as wholly inadequate. Even some of the authors consider the report released yesterday a &#8216;messy compromise,\u2019 as one put it. But the story of how a little-noticed commission created by Congress evolved into a political powerhouse and a symbol of national unity harks back to a different time, when for better or worse &#8216;Wise Men\u2019 advised presidents and shaped policy.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>I know, it\u2019s a total load of bull.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-399288\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushFreedom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushFreedom.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushFreedom-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/12\/RushFreedom-480x205.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/>This is what they\u2019re having orgasms over, folks. This, I\u2019m telling you, maybe this is the way you people in Rio Linda will understand this. This report and everything that came to be out of it, and how it got put together is better than sex. I\u2019m telling you, these people are just going nuts over this. &#8216;Because it harks back to a better time when wise men&#8211;&#8216; I\u2019ll tell you who they\u2019re talking about: Avril Harriman, Cyrus Vance, Theodore Sorenson, Robert McNamara and all these others who were advising brilliant Democrat presidents, the wise men. You see, Bill Bennett is right. This is not even about the policy. This is about national unity, this is about reaching across aisle for a few hugs, maybe a little smack here or there, and it\u2019s therapy. These people are just engaged in therapy. They basically had a nine-month 12-step program here for how to make themselves feel better during times of crisis resulting from partisanship. It\u2019s frustrating. That\u2019s as far as I should go here within the bounds of language that doesn\u2019t get to the profane.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Katie Couric last night led her hapless newscast with the Iraq Surrender Group, and she was just breathlessly reporting the study, breathlessly, it was like the Second Coming, ladies and gentlemen.
