See, my friends, these nice guys think they can smoke me out. You can\u2019t trick the host. I knew this was a trick question, because it matters only to liberals. It\u2019s totally irrelevant to anything happening today. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: By the way, to answer the guy\u2019s question, &#8216;Why didn\u2019t Reagan respond?\u2019 He did. It\u2019s one of the most underreported aspects in world history. Amir Taheri wrote about it on April 18th, 2007, in a publication called Gulf News. Basically, Reagan sunk Iran\u2019s navy, if I could just sum this up. We sunk Iran\u2019s navy. The attacks from Lebanon came from Iran, as they still do to this day. We sunk Iran\u2019s navy, but we didn\u2019t talk about it much then because that would have made us look mean, and the mullahs didn\u2019t talk about it because they didn\u2019t want the world to know their navy had been sunk, but it happened. <\/line><paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Russell in Memphis, Tennessee, welcome, sir, to the EIB Network.
