RUSH: This is Ray in Atlanta. You\u2019re up next, sir. Nice to have you on the program.<\/line>CALLER: Hey, Rush. How are you doing?<\/line>RUSH: Fine, sir. Thank you.<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019ll make a quick comment and I\u2019d like to just get your response on it.<\/line>RUSH: Yes?<\/line>CALLER: I\u2019d be real interested in the military\u2019s nonbinding resolution to Congress\u2019 nonbinding resolution.<\/line>RUSH: The military\u2019s nonbinding resolution to Congress\u2019? What is the military\u2019s nonbinding resolution?<\/line>CALLER: Well, most likely it would be something to the effect of the resolution that is out in the House is a resolution of defeat, and I\u2019d be real interested in the military putting together a nonbinding resolution in response to the resolution that\u2019s out there floating.<\/line>RUSH: Okay, what would you like the military\u2019s resolution to say? I don\u2019t know what you want me to comment on.<\/line>CALLER: Well, I think the military… I would like for them to somehow be able to say without recrimination what they really think of these weak, lily-livered politicians in Washington.<\/line>RUSH: Well, they can\u2019t. Maybe I\u2019m taking you too literally here but they\u2019re not allowed to comment on this while in uniform. They\u2019re not allowed to, unless being questioned by congressmen at hearings like General Petraeus was, and he said that these resolutions are going to help the enemy. They\u2019re going to embolden the enemy and they\u2019re going to hurt morale. There\u2019s not much more to say about these resolutions than what\u2019s being said, and that is they\u2019re nonbinding. They\u2019re gutless. The Democrats don\u2019t have the guts to pull the funding from the war, so this is really nothing more than political posturing. There are some, I guess, halfway interesting political things. The Republicans — I have no sympathy for this, by the way — are bellyaching, whining that the House Democrats promised them that there would be another resolution showing support, and Steny Hoyer said, nope, sorry, not going to happen — and the Republicans are running around saying the Democrats lied to them. <\/line>Well, really? The Democrats lied to them? Stop bellyaching and go win elections! You know what it\u2019s like to be the minority in the House of Representatives. You have no power whatsoever, and you\u2019re not going to get it back if you keep whining (crying), “They won\u2019t let us have another resolution.” (Crying). Just go win elections! I\u2019m getting sick and tired of this whining and moaning, particularly when it comes from Republicans who know full-well who the Democrats are. But these are nonbinding resolutions. The House? Who cares? Maybe some of this is my mood today and just not feeling up to snuff because of this cold but, frankly, I think it\u2019s irrelevant. We\u2019re going to have the surge. We\u2019re going to kick ass. We\u2019re going to kick butt, and the Democrats are going to be out in the cold once again on all of this. This is the kind of stuff that\u2019s going to backfire on them big time. The bigger story, to me, is in the Senate where the Republicans held together and thwarted their resolution. I like that some liberal columnists are starting now to question Hillary Clinton, like Richard Cohen<\/a> in the Washington Post today. <\/line><\/p>\n

I have the piece in the stack here and I\u2019ll find it and give you specifics, but basically he\u2019s saying, Mrs. Clinton, this is getting real tough to believe, because it makes it look like every man on the face of the earth can trick you. George Bush can trick you. Your husband tricked you. You say you didn\u2019t know, when you were giving President Bush the authority to go to war. You didn\u2019t really think he\u2019d go to war, when everybody in the world knew that\u2019s what he was asking for — and you say you got tricked and your husband tricked you. Kim Jong Il tricked you? Who else is going to trick you? <\/emphasize>Those are my words, rather than his, but it\u2019s pretty much the point. By the way, the North Korean deal? Everybody\u2019s got their opinions about this. I\u2019ve found, gazing at various websites, that the conservative media is not at all on board with this. They think it\u2019s a big trick. They think that Kim Jong Il has never lived up to any deal he\u2019s made. Why should he start living up to them now? The only caveat to that is China, and that is if the North Koreans do their usual North Korea trick here, it\u2019s not just to the United States. <\/line>This deal is the result of the famous six-party talks of which China was a member and participant. So if Kim Jong Il stiffs this agreement, he\u2019s stiffing the ChiComs — and it may not be something he wants to do. Because the ChiComs are in the lead on this. They\u2019re out in front on this. Time will tell. But, man, are we giving them the store! We\u2019re giving them everything. I added it up. It seems like almost a trillion dollars worth of stuff, food and everything. It\u2019s a lot. We\u2019re giving them all kinds of food; we\u2019re giving them fuel; we\u2019re giving them forgiveness of debt, all kinds of crazy things, all in exchange for them promising to dismantle their nuke program — and to this point no one is even sure they have one! We know they\u2019re trying, and they ran this so-called test, but nobody\u2019s really sure that it was a successful test of a genuine, <\/emphasize>arrived nuclear program. Anyway, I think most people\u2019s reaction to this is based on common sense. They\u2019ve reneged on every deal. They reneged on a deal with the Clinton administration. Why make a deal with them now? What is it that never seems to change about the West when arguing and negotiating with communists? Why is it that we never understand that they lie? I think that answers can be found in various areas of “diplomacy,” the state department and the triumph of “good intentions” over common sense. It\u2019s probably no more complicated than that. <\/line><\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line>RUSH: Back to the phones! To Redding, California, this is Robert. Welcome, sir. It\u2019s nice to have you on the program.<\/line>CALLER: Rush, 16 years of dittos, birthdays, and anniversaries.<\/line>RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/line>CALLER: By the way, [Anna Nicole Smith\u2019s baby] couldn\u2019t be your kid. It would be a pay cut. You wouldn\u2019t get any money out of it; you\u2019d have to give money.<\/line>RUSH: That probably is true. That\u2019s right.<\/line>CALLER: How much would a trillion dollars do going towards missile defense, speaking of that Kim Jong Il money that we\u2019re going to spend over there?<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s a good question. I think there\u2019s a lot of hope invested in “diplomacy,” and people say, “Maybe we can get rid of this threat,” and so forth. There are people looking for an instant success, by the way, in a troubled area, and this can be passed off as an instant success. “Okay, we\u2019ve got the nukes of North Korea off the table. Wow, progress is taking place here!” I think that\u2019s part of one of the motivational process to get this done. But is your point we could give them a trillion dollars, or we could invest it into missile defense and not have to give them the free aid and so forth?<\/line>CALLER: And then we\u2019d be protected from every two-bit wacko.<\/line>RUSH: Well, that\u2019s true, if it works. It does work, but we\u2019re by no means ready to deploy it. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m going to have to look into this a little more because I\u2019ve got a couple things I\u2019ve received in e-mail today trying to tell me why it is a different and a good thing. Others disagree. John Bolton is on television saying this is not good. It\u2019s totally reneging on a plan he put in place while at the United Nations that contained stiff sanctions and so forth. In my addled condition here, riddled here by the ravages of the common cold, I must tell you people that I look at everything in the news today as a cynic. I just look at it as it\u2019s all BS, and (interruption). It\u2019s not that way every day. Snerdley says, “How does that differ from every other day?” With North Korea, I think the bottom line here is that there are people — in the Bush administration, wherever — that want to be able to claim a success in an area of nuclear proliferation, and they can say here, “Okay, we\u2019ve taken the North Koreans off the table and we brought all these other countries into the deal. We brought South Korea in. We brought ChiComs in. We brought the Japanese in.” So now if the North Koreans renege on the deal, they\u2019re actually reneging against the ChiComs and a number of others, not that that would stop this stupid little potbellied dictator. But he may be enough of a pervert that if he got enough cognac in the deal, and enough pornography tapes and DVDs and so forth, plus enough food to keep his population from rioting for a while longer, it may keep him quiet. Who knows? And send him whatever hair piece stuff he wears to keep his head looking like that. What do you call that, a bouffant? We\u2019re dealing with, obviously, a deranged individual, but he may be quite crafty at the same time. <\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
