I don\u2019t get to listen to myself much, folks. You all listen to the number-one radio program in America. I never get to, because I\u2019m hosting it, and as such I don\u2019t get to hear myself, not the way you do. So I like to go back and play sound bites of me, especially when I\u2019ve predicted something that\u2019s come true, as this is. August 9th on this program, I predicted this:<\/p>\n<p>RUSH ARCHIVE: Drive-By Media, just echoing whatever the Democrat talking points are of the day, or vice-versa. This is about Maliki. The Drive-Bys are going to try to topple Nuri al-Maliki.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: The president, premier, whatever, of Iraq, because of course the surge is working, but we have to ignore that now, folks, because the political situation\u2019s falling apart, and because the political situation is falling apart, we gotta go get Maliki. Lo and behold, Carl Levin, he comes out of Iraq and says, &#8216;You know what? The surge is working. It\u2019s really working, but&#8230;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>LEVIN: The Maliki government is nonfunctional. So I hope that the Iraqi assembly, when it reconvenes in a few weeks, will vote the Maliki government out of office.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: That\u2019s just unbelievable. Still trying to secure defeat in the midst of victory. Now, what\u2019s interesting is, in the Washington Post today there\u2019s a story by Jonathan Weisman, and they mention Democrat Representative Baird. We talked about him yesterday. He\u2019s the head of the House Democrat steering committee. He\u2019s in Nancy Pelosi\u2019s leadership triumvirate. Last Friday, this is the guy that told a local newspaper in his district that he believes the US should stay in the country, in Iraq, as long as necessary to ensure stability. He said a lot of other Democrats are changing their views, too. &#8216;Rep. Jerry McNerney (D-Calif.) suggesting that his trip to Iraq made him more flexible in his search for a bipartisan accord on the future U.S. role in the conflict. &#8216;If anything, I\u2019m more willing to work to find a way forward,\u2019 he told reporters late last month. Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.), who was with McNerney, told his local paper that the troop increase &#8216;has really made a difference and really has gotten al-Qaeda on their heels.&#8221; Durbin basically said we\u2019re making some measurable progress there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But some Democrats have shifted their views. Baird said yesterday&#8230;\u2019 and this is what\u2019s interesting, &#8216;that Congress\u2019s debate over the war has destabilized Iraq by sending wary Iraqi politicians back to their sectarian bases of support.\u2019 This is profound, folks. This is a Democrat in Nancy Pelosi\u2019s leadership triumvirate basically saying that the political situation in Iraq is bad because of the disagreement and the discord that has taken place in the debate in Congress. It\u2019s destabilized Iraq. In other words, made \u2019em feel not confident that we\u2019re in it for the long haul. So the political leaders are going back to their sectarian base, which means the Sunnis and the Shi\u2019a, rather than unifying, they\u2019re retreating and going back to their bases, or were. He lays it squarely on the debate going on in Congress, because that\u2019s destabilizing because it\u2019s not engendering any confidence. Now, I said earlier that one of the reasons this war has taken so long is because of the Drive-By Media in this country and the Democrats have done everything they can to invest in defeat and own it, and there\u2019s a demoralization factor for the US troops. It may not be that strong, but I\u2019ll tell you that it has, certainly over this length of time, encouraged the enemy. And now we find out that it\u2019s destabilizing the Iraqi political situation that Carl Levin wants to solve by kicking Maliki out of office. That would really destabilize things. These guys are still angling for defeat, make no mistake about it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I want to go back and play audio of me.
