Twenty-thousand so far have returned to their homes in Baghdad. &#8216;Iraqis sound uncertain about the future, but defiantly optimistic. Many Baghdad residents seem to be willing themselves to normalcy, ignoring risks and suppressing fears to reclaim their lives. Pushing past boundaries of sect and neighborhood&#8230;\u2019 Front page, above the fold. New York Times. This story has just got to make the Democrats livid, particularly Hillary, particularly Reid and Pelosi. <\/p>\n<p>In a related story from the Daily Star &#8212; don\u2019t know where that\u2019s from because the top half of the page with the web link is clipped, can\u2019t read it, only half of each letter showing. &#8216;Iraqi army raid Shi\u2019ite militia strongholds, finds cache of Iranian-made weapons.\u2019 These were from Mookie\u2019s boys, the Mahdi army of Muqtada al-Sadr. And from Mosul, &#8216;Abu Nawall, a captured al-Qaeda in Iraq leader, said he didn\u2019t join the Sunni insurgent group here to kill Americans or to form a Muslim caliphate. He signed up for the cash. &#8216;I was out of work and needed the money,\u2019 said Abu Nawall, the nom de guerre of an unemployed metal worker who was paid as much as $1,300 a month as an insurgent.\u2019 Well, now, wait, folks, Abu Nawall and his captors agreed that the Iraqis were joining the insurgency out of economic necessity. Well, wait a minute. I thought all along we were creating all these terrorists. I thought Bush was so wrong and so bad and so horrible, John Kerry and the whole Democrat Party elite, they were running out saying, &#8216;These people are a proud Muslim bunch, and we\u2019re attacking Islam, and they\u2019re joining up, we\u2019re creating more terrorists.\u2019 No. They were mercenaries. It was also a way to stay alive. Of course, we hate the Americans, they say here, but we needed the money. As one general referred to them, sounds like they\u2019re the Iraq branch of The Sopranos. <\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8216;A top UN official reported to the UN Security Council that recent developments in Iraq have opened an opportunity for progress.
