It\u2019s really coming from Afghanistan and Pakistan. He staked his reputation and his foreign policy in that part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So here you have the American University Chair of Islamic Studies, Akbar Ahmed, saying, &#8216;Limbaugh and the Republicans are not Obama\u2019s greatest headache. It\u2019s Afghanistan and Pakistan.\u2019 Pakistan\u2019s falling apart. Pakistan\u2019s falling apart, and the Taliban is taking over. They did a stupid thing. They advocated a stupid thing. They gave the Taliban a province, at the urging of the Obama administration. They gave the Taliban a province in Pakistan. &#8216;Okay, you guys. You want to be the Taliban? Be the Taliban in this province,\u2019 and guess what? The Taliban\u2019s taken over neighborhoods provinces, or trying to. Once again, even in Pakistan, they\u2019re exhibiting a total lack of understanding of the enemy &#8212; of evil &#8212; and what their intent is. And they have every intention of getting back in control in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n<p>And Dr. Ahmed here is right in the sense that this is where Obama has applied himself foreign policy-wise, other than the &#8212; eh, well, Hamas, too. You know, he\u2019s legitimizing Hamas. He\u2019s putting out little threatening notices to Israel. &#8216;If you don\u2019t accept Hamas, why, we might have a policy thing on Iran for you that you don\u2019t like.\u2019 I mean, we\u2019ve gotta thugocracy going on here, but Obama goes to the G20, and then he goes to the NATO summit, and he asks our allies for our help in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He doesn\u2019t get it. It was an abject failure there. NATO allies are going to send 5,000 &#8216;trainers,\u2019 no combat troops. So Dr. Akbar Ahmed is exactly right about Obama\u2019s big headaches today. But this, of course, hasn\u2019t stopped other Democrats in this country from saying that I am the problem. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: A couple of audio sound bites here, then we\u2019ll go back to the phones.
