RUSH: Good Morning America today, Diane Sawyer, guest former President Bill Clinton. She says, ‘The wife of Senator John Edwards, Elizabeth Edwards, has said of Senator Clinton, ‘I\u2019m not convinced she\u2019d be as good as advocate for women,\u2019 meaning as Senator Edwards would be, ‘and sometimes you feel you have to behave as a man and not talk about women\u2019s issues. I\u2019m sympathetic she wants to be commander-in-chief.\u2019 Do you have a response to Mrs. Edwards, Mr. Clinton?\u2019<\/p>\n

CLINTON: On women\u2019s issues I defy you to find anybody who has run for office in recent history who\u2019s got a longer history of working for women, for families and children than Hillary does. I\u2019m proud of Hillary\u2019s record and her lifetime commitment. And I don\u2019t think she\u2019s trying to be a man. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s inconsistent with being a woman that you can also be knowledgeable on military security affairs and be strong when the occasion demands it. That\u2019s — I don\u2019t consider that being manly. I consider that being a leader.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, that\u2019s not exactly a ringing endorsement when your husband says, ‘I don\u2019t think she\u2019s trying to be a man.\u2019 By the way, you know, Hillary, when she spoke on the floor of the Senate during that all night blabber fest, the slumber party, she spoke at 4:10 in the morning. It was the first time that she said something at 4:10 in the morning other than, ‘Where the hell have you been?\u2019 We have more Clinton here. Side steps the timeline question, Diane Sawyer says, ‘If you were still president, and these were your generals saying, ‘Give me more time,\u2019 would you give them more time?\u2019<\/p>\n

CLINTON: I think the problem is, first of all, I think there is some evidence that changes from day to day. That while the violence is going up in many places where we have more soldiers and where the Iraqis are fighting the outside insurgents, like the Al-Qaeda insurgents in the Sunni areas, we\u2019ve had some evidence of progress. The point is that there is no military victory here and there\u2019s no evidence that we have either the political reconciliation process within the country working or any diplomatic process that\u2019s got a chance to help with the neighbors.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, we can\u2019t win, there\u2019s no military victory. There\u2019s no win. We\u2019re going to have some success, sure, the Al-Qaeda insurgents. When you listen to that bite, keep in mind here that we\u2019ve just learned that the whole notion of a civil war in Iraq is fronted by a fake group, and that it\u2019s actually the official Al-Qaeda that\u2019s running that operation. It\u2019s fictitious; they\u2019re making it look real. One more question. Says, ‘There\u2019s nothing General Petraeus could be saying in September that would convince you of anything but start pulling the troops out?\u2019<\/p>\n

CLINTON: I believe that General Petraeus is a very able man, and I don\u2019t have any doubt that they\u2019ll win some battles, and I hope this works. I think every American hopes this works. But it can\u2019t work beyond winning a few battles. It has to be accompanied by progress on the political front. The president has weathered the challenge in the Senate because of the filibuster. As long as he can hold more than 40 senators, he can stop the Senate from voting for a change in course. But in the end, September will come, and it won\u2019t be long.<\/p>\n

RUSH: His voice doesn\u2019t sound strong there to me. Just an observation. But nevertheless, he got done in by the filibuster. That\u2019s not what did them in. The dirty little secret is that the Democrats had no intention of this thing passing. They\u2019re not going to preside over a bloodbath. This is all a show, folks. It\u2019s all a fundraising show. It is all designed to weaken Republican senators out in other states. That\u2019s why they\u2019re attacking the likely prospects, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, other Republicans that are weak, not prepared to hold firm out there. This is an ongoing effort here over the next number of months to just totally barrage Republican senators in states, make them defect. In fact, Dingy Harry has pulled the entire defense authorization bill from the Senate. He didn\u2019t pull just this amendment, just pulled the whole thing back. Anti-war kooks were all happy about that because they think there are too many compromises in the defense authorization bill with Republicans. <\/p>\n

These people in the Senate, Dingy Harry and his crowd, are being led by the fringe of the kook base that they have into posturing and fundraising and forth. Like I said yesterday, if they really wanted to do this, they could de-fund the war. That\u2019s how they do it if Congress really wants to have some role here. What they were doing with their all-nighter was pure show, pure hoax. Even if it would have passed, it would not have had the force of law, and it would not have override veto numbers. So it was all a show. They don\u2019t intend to be the ones making it look like they are responsible for a bloodbath that will no doubt certainly occur. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was just sitting here during the break, and I was thinking about some of these comments that that Bill Clinton made regarding Hillary. He said (impression), ‘I can\u2019t find anybody out there in elected office done more for women and children and families than Hillary Clinton has,\u2019 and I kind of let that go. It\u2019s just boilerplate. I hear all this stuff. I actually got thinking, ‘What has she done for women?\u2019 Dawn, you\u2019re a woman. What has Hillary Clinton done for women? Dawn can\u2019t think of anything. They make these claims, and of course it was Diane Sawyer fawns. ‘Oh, if only me!\u2019 Why in the world do they not get challenged? What has she done for women? Okay, so she did the Beijing conference, whoop-de-do! What happened with the Beijing conference? What has she done for women? They make these claims, they throw these things out. It\u2019s just like this number of uninsured. You know, 40 million, 42 million, nine million — who says? How do we really know? We just accept all this stuff as it gets thrown out there. Some say she\u2019s ‘a role model for women.\u2019 That\u2019s what she\u2019s done for women? She\u2019s the smartest woman in the world? What has she done for women that other elected leaders who are male who have good policies have done against women? <\/p>\n

See, that\u2019s another thing. That\u2019s another thing. Elizabeth Edwards started all this by saying she not sensitive enough to women\u2019s issues. What the hell are ‘women\u2019s issues,\u2019 on a national basis? Throw out abortion. What else is there? Child care, early prenatal care, uh, nanny care? She ‘raised consciousness\u2019? About what? Pantsuits? Oh, she raised consciousness about infidelity. Well, okay. If you want to say she did something for women, she stood by her man, and she stood by her man. Other women are to take that as a lesson, and learn from it — and you, too, could someday be a candidate for president. Clinton also — and I\u2019ve noticed a subtle evolution among the anti-war left. Suddenly now, we\u2019re all concerned with the political side of what\u2019s happening in Iraq. You know, we had the National Intelligence Estimate come out, and it did not paint a pretty strong picture for the al-Maliki government because the benchmarks weren\u2019t met, but that\u2019s because the benchmarks are very high. So now we have members of Congress, our own Congress, which hasn\u2019t done diddly-squat, telling the Iraqi Parliament what it has to do, standards it has to meet, benchmarks it has to accomplish. ‘You\u2019ve gotta get the oil sharing revenue bill done over there. You\u2019ve gotta figure out how to do that.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, they don\u2019t let us develop any of our own oil in this country. We can\u2019t do it. They won\u2019t let us build any refines. The left in this country is steadfastly just drilling in ANWR or in the Gulf or anywhere else. They will not go through the process, let it start, of building more refineries. They sit there and tell the al-Maliki government, ‘In three years you haven\u2019t done enough of getting oil.\u2019 Who the hell are these people? So the NIE comes out and that gives a little cover to go after the failing political side because the news coming out on the military and security side is good, but before the surge — and this is just back to April — all we heard and saw on television was reports and complaints on the level of violence in Baghdad and the Sunni triangle, and Ramadi, all these places. All we saw was the obligatory burning car; people running away from the burning car; reports of troop deaths, ‘military massacres\u2019 committed by our troops and so forth. Now all of a sudden, while there\u2019s military progress on security, ‘Why, we can\u2019t do that. (grumbling) Let\u2019s focus on how they\u2019re screwing up on the political side.\u2019 The point I\u2019m making here is, is this is a subtle shift. When good news happens, the Drive-By Media and their buddies in the Democratic Party have a plan to make sure they ignore it and focus only on the bad news because that is the objective: to keep everybody in crisis and in panic mode over the fact that it\u2019s not working. <\/p>\n

Clinton is saying, ‘Well, yeah, we hope it works, and we hope there\u2019s a lot of progress, but it can\u2019t be won militarily. There is no military victory here.\u2019 So in the face of good news, you go out there and you say something you don\u2019t mean (impression) ‘I hope it works. I really do. I think everybody hopes it works.\u2019 Well, we know for a fact that that isn\u2019t true! We know we have an anti-war left in this country and a bunch of elected Democrats who want it to fail, who have already proclaimed it a failure and a defeat. They\u2019ve already waved the white flag led by none other than Harry Reid. So (impression), ‘Well, we hope it works. I — I — I just don\u2019t think there\u2019s a military victory. There\u2019s just not a military victory.\u2019 So, in the midst of finally some good news, it doesn\u2019t matter. Good news is irrelevant! What\u2019s important is, ‘It can\u2019t be won militarily, and the political side, those people over there are so screwed up, they don\u2019t know how to run a country politically,\u2019 from our guys! So that\u2019s the game plan. That\u2019s what I have subtly noticed, ladies and gentlemen, as they constantly try to stay ahead of whatever news comes out of Iraq, so that they can focus on the bad — and there will always be bad news coming out of there. To the extent that they have to ignore all the good news, they will do so. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Diana Schneider, the editrix at the Limbaugh Letter, has been toiling away, trying to figure out, what is it that Hillary Clinton has done for women? Her husband out there, on Good Morning America, said that he\u2019s done more for women than anybody he can think of. And Diane has said, ‘Well, you know, she did do something that\u2019s worthwhile for women. She taught women to wear pink to distract from their guilt in certain matters. Wear pink when you\u2019re lying and sit under a portrait of Abraham Lincoln when one is handy.\u2019 You know, the Pretty in Pink press conference. (Laughing). So there\u2019s something that we can say that she has done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
