RUSH: This terror plot. As I say, I found this on page 30 of the New York Times. They didn\u2019t think it was a big deal at all. Here\u2019s a report from CBS in New York: ‘Feds Say Terrorist Plot Poorly Planned — In the latest terrorist threat to New York City, the alleged terrorists are all middle-aged men, the oldest 63-year-old Guyanese immigrant Russell Defreitas.\u2019 It\u2019s not Russell<\/emphasize>. He calls himself ‘Mohammed.\u2019 See, this is exactly what I\u2019m talking about. One of these guys is a citizen. These are homegrown, and whether or not their plot made any sense and whether or not it worked — and it probably wouldn\u2019t have worked. The problem with blowing up jet fuel or gasoline is, jet fuel is essentially kerosene, and it burns in a very narrow range of fuel and air mixtures. You just can\u2019t throw a match on this stuff and have it go up. Now, underground pipelines are safe because air can\u2019t get to them, and many of the pipelines that are underground that serve JFK are double barreled so to speak. The portions of the pipeline that are above ground will only burn at the point the pipeline is broken and fuel is spilling out, and if that were to happen, you know they\u2019d shut off the valves or the pumps or both in order to keep the whole thing from going up. These guys knew this, by the way, because if you read the complaint — which I as host have done — in paragraph 48, page 27 to 28, these plotters discuss just the issue of the ignitibility of jet fuel. They know they\u2019re dealing with double tanks or a tank within a tank, double barreled, and they know that two explosions will be necessary to ignite the fuel inside the inner tank because fuel needs oxygen to explode. They knew all this and they knew how difficult it was going to be. <\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s downplaying this as, ‘Well, this wouldn\u2019t have worked,\u2019 and, ‘These guys are just a bunch of idiots.\u2019 But that\u2019s not the point of this. The point of this is, here we have the report. How many people now are going to be even more nervous than they are about flying? How much ratcheting up of security conditions and procedures is going to take place at all the airports now? How many more delays? How much earlier is everybody going to have to get to the airport? Just the real life aspects of something like this are very real life. The second thing is, they\u2019re here. The timing of this couldn\u2019t have been worse for the Democrat debate, and I wonder why the New York Times put it on page 30. Remember, George Bush can\u2019t be right about anything<\/emphasize>. He just can\u2019t. In fact, if you go to some of the Democrat websites out there, you\u2019ll find that they think this whole thing is a hoax, that it was made up. They don\u2019t believe it. They think that Bush did this to get rid of bad news about the fracture that\u2019s occurring between him and the conservative base on illegal immigration and the bill that\u2019s winding its way through the Senate now. <\/p>\n

This is precisely <\/emphasize>why it\u2019s important to have an adult in charge who understands the very real threat. Jack Murtha\u2019s out there, and yeah, he admits we got homegrown terrorists here, but they\u2019re only here because Bush went to Iraq. The literal sophistry of that! 9\/11 happened before we went to Iraq and they were here and they were amongst us. With the borders as wide open as they are, they\u2019re here now. Now, these may have been a bunch of amateurs and not been able to pull this off, but they were going to try<\/emphasize>. You can rest assured that there are others in this country now trying to do the same thing. The only intelligent way to approach this is to assume that is the case. Now, I was talking to somebody — I was flashing them on instant message this morning — and they said, ‘What do you bet…?\u2019 because we gotta extradite these people. You have to have the extradition hearing, which has to take place in 60 days to get these suspects. They found three of them. There\u2019s a big manhunt going on for the fourth. We have to have the hearing within a couple months to get them extradited, and somebody said, ‘What do you bet the ACLU files suit to fight the extradition of these suspects?\u2019 <\/p>\n

I said, ‘I\u2019m not sure about that. They might hope for a very liberal judge here and have these guys acquitted.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But you know what I think when we ought to do? Send \u2019em to Gitmo! I think every one of these terrorists, period, ought to be sent to Gitmo. <\/p>\n

I have an idea. We need to move Gitmo. We need to move it out of Cuber<\/emphasize>. [JFK pronunciation] We need to move it up to ANWR. It\u2019s so beautiful up there. It\u2019s pristine! We\u2019re not going to be allowed to drill for oil up there. They have six-month days and six-month nights. Those things are to die for. I\u2019m ready to start a new licensed merchandise business of Club ANWR to replace Club Gitmo. You can face Mecca for six months. You could pray 400 times in a day. What a great retreat for those who are tired and worn out from the daily rigors of jihad. At any rate, it\u2019s a very serious thing, and most news agencies, particularly in New York, played it up and played it very seriously because this does represent an ongoing threat that is in this country<\/emphasize>, and the Drive-By Media; the New York Times; and the Democrat Party, like John Edwards, are out there, ‘Ah, there\u2019s no war on terror! It\u2019s just a bumper sticker slogan. Bush made it up to justify going into Iraq.\u2019 Now their spin is, ‘Well, it\u2019s only because we went to Iraq that the terrorists here are trying to blow up JFK, the fuel lines, half of Queens, and all this.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But you watch the results of this. The transportation safety and security authorities are going to have to ratchet up security, and people aren\u2019t going to fly. They\u2019re going to sit home and say, ‘I\u2019m not going to fly. I don\u2019t want to mess with this,\u2019 because people are going to know that this is something that is a very real possibility. When you have half the country… Look, 35% of Democrats, that\u2019s not an insignificant number of people. They think that Bush knew about 9\/11 before it happened. If they think that, then they also have to think that he allowed <\/emphasize>it to happen. If they think that he knew about it beforehand and allowed it to happen, then maybe they have to think that he\u2019s behind it! And, of course, you have these kook conspiracy websites out there saying that this whole thing was an inside job. It\u2019s scary stuff, which is why it is required that somebody, an adult, take all of this seriously and deal with it accordingly. <\/p>\n

These Democrat candidates, I\u2019m telling you, folks, do not inspire any kind of confidence whatsoever when it comes to national security or the war on terror. They\u2019re trying to convince everybody that this is much ado about nothing, vastly overblown, or that it\u2019s simply the result of the election of Bush and the fact that he\u2019s in Iraq and took the country to war there, and once we get rid of Bush, the terrorists around the world are going to love us, not consider us a threat and so forth. The Democrats will fan out. Did Edwards say that he would run around the world and he would make restoring our image the number one priority? I\u2019ll lay you ten to one somebody in this debate said this last night: ‘We have to repair the image that Bush is destroying the country,\u2019 and included in that is talking to these terrorists. The Democrats think they can appease them because they\u2019ve bought into the notion that the country is not hated; it\u2019s just Bush that is hated around the world and once we get rid of Bush and the Democrats are in office, then there will be love and devotion and flowers popping up all over the world in celebration, and America will once again be loved. It\u2019s ignorance like that, that will put us in great, great danger because of the inability to accept reality.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Howard in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We own Allentown, by the way. We\u2019re huge there. Howard, nice to have you on the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. How are you?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s an honor to talk to you. I wanted to make a point about how they\u2019re saying that this terror plot at JFK wasn\u2019t ‘very well thought out\u2019 or planned out. You know, any terror plot can be just as significant if only one person loses their life, you know? That could be somebody\u2019s spouse or daughter or brother or sister that gets killed. You know, it doesn\u2019t… Just because it was stopped in the early stages that it didn\u2019t kill 3,000 people, doesn\u2019t make it any less significant.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly, exactly! That\u2019s why the New York Times puts it on page 30. If you didn\u2019t know that it had happened and the New York Times is your only source, the odds are you\u2019re not going to know about it even now because you\u2019re not going to get to page 30, because before you get to page 30 you\u2019ll throw the front section away and go to the magazine and you\u2019ll read the latest cool places, art galleries and so forth that you ought to be. Then you may even go there. You\u2019ll miss it. That\u2019s why the other Drive-By Media outlets call it ‘farfetched. It ‘didn\u2019t have much of a chance at success.\u2019 That\u2019s missing the entire point, which you just mentioned. It\u2019s not whether just one or 3,000 die. It\u2019s that they are here, and it is that the Democrats have tried to dismantle virtually every program put in place to uncover these plots before they happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
