RUSH: Mike in Raleigh, North Carolina. Great to have you, sir. You\u2019re next.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes.<\/p>\n

CALLER: How you doing?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Fine, sir. Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. Hey, first time home-school family dittos. I\u2019ve got a question about the two remaining axis of evils. Within the last month we\u2019ve heard of Iran shooting their long-term (sic) missiles and yesterday with North Korea detonating their nuclear device. What do they have to prove by doing this? It\u2019s a two-part question. Are they inviting (cell drops) attack and will Israel react on its own?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Why are the Iranians and North Koreans inviting attack?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Why are they doing it? I know it\u2019s saber rattling, Rush, but it seems that they\u2019re being… um…<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, let\u2019s go back. Remember Joe ‘Loudmouth\u2019 Biden before the — I think before the nomination, said they\u2019re going to be tested, and it\u2019s gonna be bad, and he begged the people (paraphrased), ‘Support us and love us then as you do now. We may make the wrong decision in your eyes.\u2019 Now, I don\u2019t think the big test has happened. I don\u2019t know what Biden was talking about. Whatever it is hasn\u2019t happened. Let\u2019s stick with Iran first. Barack Obama last week said, ‘I give you to the end of the year.\u2019 What\u2019s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad do? Launches a test missile and continues talking about wiping Israel off the map. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is going to win reelection by a landslide. Doesn\u2019t mean anything but it\u2019s going to be reported around the world.<\/p>\n

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who serves at the pleasure of the mullahs. It doesn\u2019t matter what the people say, is going to be reelected by a landslide. The media loves reporting dictators being reelected, even if they might pose a throat to Obama. It\u2019s a tough call for them but a dictator gets reelected, and they love it. This will embolden Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad is also out there rattling even further sabers, indicating that they don\u2019t care what Obama says and they don\u2019t care what Netanyahu says. The Iranians and the North Koreans, the two remaining members of the axis of evil, are both defying the United States of America. They are conducting a trade show for nuclear weapon sales. North Korea is aiding Iran. North Korea on our Memorial Day supposedly lights off an underground nuke and launches three missiles. Did they wake Obama up for this? It happened Sunday night at one o\u2019clock. <\/p>\n

You were all asleep, I\u2019m sure, when North Korea lit off its underground nuke and launched three weapons. Did they wake up Obama? Contrary to what was reported after the Netanyahu-Obama meeting, the media reported that Netanyahu walked out of there with his mind right, that Obama had given him the what-for. It\u2019s just the opposite. Netanyahu said, ‘Screw you! We are going to continue to build in our settlements, and if we have to take \u2019em out, we\u2019re going to take \u2019em out,\u2019 meaning the Iranians — which doesn\u2019t surprise me, Netanyahu being who Netanyahu is. The American Thinker has a piece on this today, ‘The remnant of the Axis of Evil delights in torturing our President. <\/p>\n

‘Not just with words — but with carefully timed ‘3 a.m.\u2019 nuclear detonations and launches of inter-continental missiles capable of delivering WMDs. The North Koreans did so on Memorial Day, as well as in April as their riposte to Obama\u2019s Apology Trip to Europe. Tehran launched its own provocation last week. Listen to the official North Korean news agency: ‘The Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea,\u2019 hardy har-har, ‘successfully conduced one or more underground nuclear tests on May 25 as part of the measures to bolster up its nuclear deterrent for self-defense in every way as requested by its scientists and technicians,\u2019 adding that ‘the test was safely conducted on a new higher level in terms of its explosive power and technology control.” <\/p>\n

‘President Obama responded with robust words: ‘North Korea is directly and recklessly challenging the international community,” and then he told the UN to go do something about it. Then the UN supposedly had a meeting. Big whoop. The trouble is, every time they do some provocative we sort of back off. We issue words. By the way, let me find it here. I think I put it at the back of the stack, but it involves the Vice President, Dick Cheney. Yes. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, right here. This is a story from MSNBC, and I found this over the weekend. ‘Dick Cheney ‘Tried to Block North Korea Nuclear Deal” during the Bush administration. <\/p>\n

‘The exchanges between Cheney\u2019s office and Rice\u2019s people at State got very testy. But ultimately Condi had the President\u2019s ear and persuaded him that his legacy would be stronger if they reached a deal with Pyongyang,\u2019 but Cheney opposed it all along. Bush warned the world about Iraq, Iran, North Korea in his 2002 State of the Union speech. They ridiculed it on the left. Bush later offered carrots to North Korea to suspend their programs at the urging of Condi. Didn\u2019t sit well with Cheney according to this account MSNBC, Dick Cheney tried to block North Korean deal. So they\u2019re testing. They are conducting a trade show. They\u2019re showing what they have to sell to people like Hugo Chavez, the North Koreans and the Iranians. So it\u2019s pretty serious stuff when these little malcontents start flexing their muscles on our Memorial Day and particularly after Obama has said… I mean, when he says, ‘I\u2019ll give \u2019em a year. I\u2019ll give them to the end of the year. I\u2019ll give the Iranians to the end of the year to accept our terms,\u2019 or whatever. (snorts) Mahmoud and mullahs say, ‘Yeah? Take this!\u2019 and they launch an ICBM. Anyway, it doesn\u2019t matter, folks, because the world is going to love us even more. We\u2019ll close Gitmo, he says and we got Sonia Sotomayor nominated to the court. So all this has now been taken care of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
