RUSH: So here I am, in Lincoln, Nebraska, on Saturday night. I\u2019m up there in a nice, lavish, suitable, more than suitable for me, suite and box with a host of friends and associates, watching USC-Nebraska. During a time-out, I decided to pull out the trusty iPhone, because I\u2019ll tell you, TV time-outs in college football are longer than pro games, two-and-a-half, three minutes. So I pull out the trusty iPhone, and I see if I\u2019ve gotten any mail. I didn\u2019t have any mail. I checked the Drudge page, and I see this headline: ‘Greenspan Book:\u2019 or something like that, ‘Iraq War Was for Oil.\u2019 I said, ‘What the hell is this?\u2019 I started showing it to the people sitting next to me, and I said, ‘What the hell is this?\u2019 So we all started talking about theories, and I read some of the stuff that was being said about the book, and I said, ‘This doesn\u2019t compute. This makes zero sense. Praising Bill Clinton as a hero?\u2019 <\/p>\n

I said, ‘This sounds like Colin Powell wrote the book. It sounds like Bob Rubin wrote the book. Is the Greenspan book here about establishing the legacy of Bill Clinton?\u2019 Well, it turns out that the whole reference to the Iraq war being for oil was totally purposefully taken out of context by the Times of London on Sunday, totally off context. Greenspan said really nothing of the sort. What he said actually makes some pretty good sense. Here\u2019s what I mean about having to clean up messes when I come in here. That reverberated all over the world. We\u2019re not going to get that back. We\u2019ve got all these fringe kooks, and who knows who else, now thinking that the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, impeccable reputation, unchallengeable, thinks that Bush and Halliburton were in on this for just the purpose of securing the world\u2019s oil supply for themselves, and it wasn\u2019t that at all. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Here\u2019s the thing about the Greenspan circumstance: The internet just went nuts starting Saturday night with this headline that Greenspan said two things. He said, basically, that the Iraq war was ‘for\u2019 oil, and that Bill Clinton was a hero, and there was a third thing. He was criticizing Bush left and right. … I said, ‘Criticizing Bush for what? What is this?\u2019 When I start hearing a defense of Clinton in the Greenspan book, I start trying to connect the dots. I start reading the stitches on the fastball. I\u2019m thinking, ‘Bob Rubin has gotta be involved in this somehow.\u2019 You know, Bob Rubin is a high-finance guy, treasury secretary, probably knows Greenspan, and inside the Beltway legacies are crucial. This is the thought process I\u2019m having as I read that one headline, and I read a couple of subheads, too. I\u2019m trying to put this all together. This doesn\u2019t make any sense: Defend Bill Clinton? Somebody has to have gotten to Greenspan to somehow put in his book that Clinton was great and Bush was not, and the reason I thought this is because all of these people that worked with Clinton — like Rubin and Madeleine Albright, you name \u2019em — as Clinton\u2019s legacy goes, so go theirs. They\u2019ve got as much of a selfish reason to want their legacies to be good as they do Clinton\u2019s. They are inexorably linked. <\/p>\n

You know, and I don\u2019t put anything past the inside-the-Beltway crowd when establishing their legacies. So I got home, and I didn\u2019t think much about it yesterday, because I knew I would be doing intense program prep last night and this morning. One of the things that I did find out came from when I went back and I looked at some of the news that was made when Greenspan announced his memoirs. Here are just a couple passages that I found during some research. ‘Though he will use a ghostwriter to collaborate on the book, he said, ‘I plan to do the first draft and the last draft, but the ghostwriter is going to do everything else.” Now, that would explain the oil and the war confusion. Then I began to read even further. ‘Peter Petre a senior editor-at-large at Fortune magazine, coauthor of the best-sellers by [Schwarzkopf] and Tom Watson, Jr., the IBM chairmen, will help recently retired Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan write his memoirs, according to an article in the Tuesday New York Times.\u2019 This is, again, from way back before the book was actually written. This is the announcement of it. I saw this and I said, ‘Something\u2019s really at play here.\u2019 I\u2019m not sure, based on what he said last night with Lesley Stahl, that he even knows what was in his book, based on a story by Bob Woodward in the Washington Post today. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the headline: ‘Greenspan: Ouster of Hussein Crucial for Oil Security.\u2019 What Greenspan was saying was not that the war was ‘for oil.\u2019 Now, listen to me on this, folks. He never said that the war was ‘for oil,\u2019 and it\u2019s not in his book in that way. (It might be in the book that way. Frankly, I haven\u2019t seen the book. It might well be close enough to that in the book. This is why I say he may not even know what\u2019s in his book based on the fact that some ghostwriter wrote the damn thing.) ‘Greenspan said in an interview that the removal of Saddam Hussein had been essential to secure world oil supplies, a point he emphasized to the White House in private conversations before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Greenspan, who was the country\u2019s top voice on monetary policy at the time that Bush decided to go to war in Iraq, has refrained from extensive public comment on it until now. He made the striking comment in a new memoir out today that Iraq is largely about oil.\u2019 They took the ‘about\u2019 in that sentence and changed it to ‘for.\u2019 That changes the whole meaning! By the way, folks, what\u2019s so bad about that? Even if that were the case, oil is crucial. Oil is like the blood supply of the world, whether you like it or not, and securing the free flow of oil market prices is crucial to growing economies and maintaining growing economies. The idea that there\u2019s something immoral about this in the first place is a little plot the left has hatched here to somehow condemn oil as some sort of poison. <\/p>\n

Of course, that they have done. But in this interview with Bob Woodward in the Washington Post, he clarified that sentence — and this is a 531-page book and this is what they took out of it over the weekend. He clarified the sentence. ‘He said that while securing global oil supplies was not the administration\u2019s motive, he had presented the White House with the case for why removing Hussein was important for the global economy. ‘I was not saying that\u2019s the administration\u2019s motive. I\u2019m just saying that if somebody asked me, ‘Are we fortunate in taking out Saddam?\u2019 I would say it was essential.” Folks, do you realize what a profound difference this is? Now, in his book he says the Iraq war is largely ‘about oil.\u2019 In his interview, he said, yeah, yeah, but it was about securing global oil supply — and that he advised Bush to do it for that reason and that Bush rejected that as the reason! So what we had over the weekend was a purposeful taking out of context of something in Greenspan\u2019s book — and again, I\u2019m trying to be polite here. I\u2019m not sure that he even knows what\u2019s in his book, given he had the ghostwriter, given a number of other things. But they are purposefully using his comment in the book, wrongly. They take it out of context and give it the interpretation that they want to advance their native, their agenda on this. The sad thing is that that\u2019s out there now, and that\u2019s been out there for two days. Well, yeah, Saturday night, Sunday, and most of today. It\u2019s out there, especially among these dummkopfs and these socialists around the world, not to mention the America left, who get caught up in all these conspiracy theories. One other thing, too. The criticism of Bush, by the way, is sensible! It\u2019s about the overspending. It\u2019s about not vetoing spending bills. It has nothing to do with anything other than that in the book, anyway. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One more thing here from the Washington Post today on the Greenspan interview: ‘Though Greenspan\u2019s book is largely silent about Iraq, it is sharply critical of Bush and fellow Republicans on other matters, denouncing in particular what Greenspan calls the president\u2019s lack of fiscal discipline and the ‘dysfunctional government\u2019 he has presided over. In the interview, Greenspan said he had previously told Bush and Cheney of his critique. ‘They\u2019re not surprised by my conclusions,\u2019 he said.\u2019 And to that extent, if his criticism of out-of-control spending happens to wake up some Republicans, then so be it. But, ‘As for Iraq, Greenspan said that at the time of the invasion, he believed, like Bush, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction ‘because Saddam was acting so guiltily trying to protect something.\u2019 While he was ‘reasonably sure he did not have an atomic weapon,\u2019 he added, ‘my view was that if we do nothing, eventually he would gain control of a weapon.\u2019 His main support for Hussein\u2019s ouster, though, was economically motivated.\u2019 It was the original reason for the invasion of Kuwait, to get their oil. Then Saddam had plans to go to Saudi Arabia, take over those fields. He had to be stopped. Free flow of oil market prices, folks. World can\u2019t live without it.<\/p>\n

You run around, I don\u2019t know if you see them or not, I sometimes do — and I did not see one of these when I was in Nebraska, by the way. You run around and you see these dip squirts with these bumper stickers on the back of their stupid, dented little cars that say, ‘No blood for oil.\u2019 Oil is the blood of a free society in this country. There\u2019s no two ways about it. You can wish it weren\u2019t true; you can wish it were something else, but it is what it is. Here, by the way, is Greenspan talking last night. You want to know something interesting about this? On 60 Minutes, Lesley Stahl did not ask him about Iraq. Now, I know the interview was done earlier than yesterday and maybe she did ask him about Iraq; I don\u2019t know. Maybe they edited it out because they knew that the whole thing had been taken out of context. I just wanted to point that out. There was nothing about oil in the interview last night, very little about it. Lesley Stahl and Greenspan had this exchange about Mrs. Clinton.<\/p>\n

STAHL: Do you think she can handle the presidency?<\/p>\n

GREENSPAN: Certainly. I think she\u2019s unquestionably capable. The question is, is she the best person for the job?<\/p>\n

STAHL: And…?<\/p>\n

GREENSPAN: My tendency would be to vote Republican.<\/p>\n

STAHL: Now the Drive-Bys are totally leaving this out. They\u2019re doing everything they can to avoid covering Greenspan on Hillary. ‘My tendency would be to vote Republican.\u2019 I\u2019m sure he\u2019s got a battle inside the house because his wife is Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington. She might have had a hand in the book. Hell, I don\u2019t know, folks, I\u2019m just telling you what I suspect here. Big mess, big, big mess to clean up. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, to the phones, to Dallas. This is Marilyn. Welcome, and it\u2019s nice to have you as first up today.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. It\u2019s good to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m reading the Greenspan book, and I did find it be really politically balanced and he\u2019s pretty involved in it, with very — seems to be giving details. And I was thinking, there cannot be a definitive book of our time without you in it, and sure enough, page 158, he talks about the fact that when Clinton wanted to put money into Mexico to bail them out, that I think Gingrich and the \u201994 Congress — well, Gingrich wanted the \u201994 Congress to approve this. So he called Greenspan, according to his story here, and asked him if he would call you, because he said some of the freshmen congressmen actually are calling themselves the Dittohead Caucus. So Greenspan said he did call you, and he said that, ‘Rush listened politely as I laid out my arguments, and thanked me for taking the time. This surprised me. I expected Rush Limbaugh to be much more confrontational.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: And you are asking if this is true?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is true, every word of that\u2019s true. In fact, the call came, I was in my New York office at the time, and the call came from Chairman Greenspan, and he said that Speaker Gingrich had asked him to call to explain the Mexican bailout, because they thought that it was an important thing for trade and they needed to keep the Mexican economy afloat, they didn\u2019t want it to default in any way, and he explained why he was in favor of it. Whenever I hear this, though, that people expect me to be some bombastic, confrontational, ‘Who the hell do you think you are calling me? Don\u2019t you know I\u2019m busy,\u2019 kind of guy, I\u2019m one of the most polite people that you would ever run into. If the chairman of the Federal Reserve is going to call me, I\u2019m going to listen to what he says. It stuns me. But I\u2019m glad he put that nice reference in there. It\u2019s exactly what happened. It did happen. By the way, this is not the first that it\u2019s been reported. Somehow it leaked out, and I got calls from the media, so I called back to Greenspan\u2019s office and said, ‘I don\u2019t know if this call was off the record or not,\u2019 and, ‘Oh, no, no, perfectly fine, we don\u2019t care if anybody knows about it.\u2019 So it got reported sometime after. It wasn\u2019t long after, maybe a month or two. It could have been longer than that. It did take awhile for it to filter out, but he didn\u2019t have any desire suppressing it or denying that it took place, he freely admitted it, so I don\u2019t think that he thought that there was anything untoward. I have not heard from him since.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hm-hm. Well, I think it\u2019s a good book. I hope as I read through it that I don\u2019t find too much Bush-bashing, but I think a lot of it\u2019s true. He said he didn\u2019t like all the spending Bush approved, and none of us do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you know, Greenspan is a Libertarian Republican. That\u2019s how he describes himself. I don\u2019t know if you heard the sound bite in the first hour, but he was asked last night in his profile on 60 Minutes what he thought about Hillary. ‘She\u2019s very capable, but I\u2019m voting Republican.\u2019 Of course, the Drive-Bys are leaving that alone. They\u2019re too busy having orgasms today over the fact she\u2019s finally presented her health care plan.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: We had audio sound bites of that. Yeah, the criticism of Bush, I think from what I\u2019ve read, Greenspan simply says, ‘Please veto some of this. This is irresponsible.\u2019 But it\u2019s not criticism of Bush on the war, like this leak over the weekend about the Iraq war was for oil. That was purposefully done. That was taking this book totally out of context. Greenspan has to be fit to be tied over it, because it\u2019s not at all what he said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you keep up the work against Hillary\u2019s health care plan. You\u2019re our best hope.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I appreciate that, Marilyn, thanks much. Great to talk to you. Andrew in New York City, you\u2019re next. I appreciate your patience. Welcome to the program.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, stand-by-you dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Your presumption that Greenspan wouldn\u2019t read his own book even though it\u2019s done by a ghostwriter, I don\u2019t really agree with that. I mean, according to the interview last night, he\u2019s reading agricultural reports for light reading.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Look, you have to understand here that this whole series of events coupled with — do you understand, did I not convey — if I didn\u2019t, it\u2019s my fault — did I not convey my degree of shock and outrage when I\u2019m at the football game in Lincoln on Saturday night and I fire up during a time-out the Drudge Report on my iPhone, and I see that Greenspan says war was for oil? Then I see a subhead, praises Clinton as hero, rips Bush. What the hell is this? Then I start researching. I find out about his ghostwriter. He\u2019s just going to write the first draft and the last draft, and I\u2019m thinking, ‘Does he even know what\u2019s in the book?\u2019 The timeline next was, I find out he did this interview with Bob Woodward where he says exactly what he said in the interview about the book, but it\u2019s not what he wrote.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I mean, you\u2019re the host, and I\u2019m just a caller, but I mean the man, whenever the man had loud flatulence the economy rose and fell, so I just think he probably would have read the book beforehand. That\u2019s my only point.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m not suggesting that Alan Greenspan is Charles Barkley. But I\u2019ll never forget when Barkley\u2019s autobiography came out, there were a bunch of questionable passages in it, and the press said, ‘Charles, what the hell is this?\u2019 He said, ‘I was misquoted.\u2019 People started scratching their heads, ‘How do you get misquoted in your autobiography?\u2019 He said, ‘That\u2019s not what I said, that\u2019s not what I wrote, that\u2019s not what I meant to say.\u2019 It was just hilarious. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I am not impugning chairman Greenspan. In the timeline of events, none of this made any sense. I was just sharing with you the thoughts that were popping into my fertile little gray cells, and they\u2019re always popping. The neurons in there never stop, even when I\u2019m sleeping. My brain rebuilds itself, unlike most people\u2019s. That\u2019s why I don\u2019t remember my dreams; my brain is too busy doing other things, reminding me of things that I\u2019m thinking about when I\u2019m sleeping. I wake up and I\u2019m smarter. It just happens.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Billings, Montana. Greg, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, Rush. God bless your parents because there\u2019s a lot of us out here that don\u2019t know where we\u2019d be if you weren\u2019t there, pal.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you very much, sir. (laughs) I appreciate it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I read those headlines on Drudge this weekend as well, and I have a little bit of a different take, in reference to Greenspan bashing Bush and praising Clinton. It kind of confirmed a long suspicion that I had about it. I believe that Clinton and Greenspan were in collusion in putting the brakes on the economy in 2000. Even after the market crashed, they kept on raising interest rates and raising interest rates, and I think that he was a whole setup to make him look better. And I think, my take on it —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! How did that make Clinton look better?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, you know, the economy got blamed on Bush, just through the whole press of it all, but I think maybe the brakes got slammed on a lot too hard and they didn\u2019t know the impact just because of other variables within the economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s quite a charge you\u2019re making. Greenspan colluded with Clinton to raise interest rates in order to make the…?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m saying that\u2019s what my suspicion of the deal was, and I\u2019m saying it just seemed like — when they were raising interest rates after the market had crashed in March of 2000, they kept on raising interest rates all through that summer. Now, why on earth were they still doing that with the market being bad? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well…<\/p>\n

CALLER: So…<\/p>\n

RUSH: My question to you is, on behalf of the audience, ‘How does that help Clinton?\u2019 How does raising interest rates make the economy look better under Clinton? When we\u2019re already at 2000, it\u2019s his last year in office.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, because the economy was so strong, he wanted to set — I believe you were even one that were possibly saying this — up whoever the next successor was, that the economy was all in the hands of Bill Clinton.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, but that\u2019s because we found that Clinton was cooking commerce department statistics on the health of US businesses. He was inflating profitability and so forth by 30% in reports. I think as far as Greenspan is concerned — and Bernanke, the current chairman, is doing the same thing. These guys are paranoid about inflation. Inflation is the one thing that scares the death out of them. They\u2019re obviously going to spend more time on that than they are the credit crunch and other things like the subprime lending scandal and so forth. But we\u2019ll see if rates come down this month. They have another meeting here. Is it this month or is it October? I think it\u2019s this month. But, whatever, the ‘experts\u2019 are predicting rates will come down. The fed will drop some rate like a half percent or quarter percent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
