RUSH: I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve been keeping up with this, but it\u2019s about the prison abuse photos at Abu Ghraib and the Club Gitmo and so forth. And it\u2019s taking a meandering path here. Obama originally says he\u2019s going to release the photos. Then there\u2019s an outcry. He says he\u2019s not going to release the photos \u2019cause he\u2019s talked to the generals. And the generals say, it would put troops at risk, it would serve no purpose. Then the Democrats, the leftist Democrats in the House, many of them who are committee chairmen and Nancy Pelosi say, to hell with that, we\u2019re going to release the pictures, we\u2019re going to release the pictures because this is part of a Freedom of Information Act request and we\u2019re not going to just throw the law out here. So that moved Lindsey Grahamnesty and Joe Lieberman to put together an amendment in another piece of legislation that would prohibit the release of these photos. When it goes to the conference committee, the conference committee, members of the House of Representatives are being told by Pelosi screw that Senate amendment, screw it. <\/p>\n

So it\u2019s been going back and forth now, and you have to ask yourself this question. Regardless how this ends up — and, by the way, I know that the conventional wisdom is that Obama does not want those pictures released. But I don\u2019t believe that because when it was first brought up, when he first mentioned it, he did want them released. And that\u2019s what you have to remember. Now, he\u2019s changed his mind on this, and he\u2019s being urged to use an executive order to prevent their release now to countermand the Democrats in the Senate. Nobody really knows how this is going to fall out yet. There are conflicting reports. Some say the Democrats in the House are caving as a response to Obama\u2019s request. Others are saying no, they\u2019re not, that the situation is still fluid. Here\u2019s what you have to ask yourself. Why would anyone want those pictures released? What is the result of these pictures released? I don\u2019t care what the pictures show. They can be nothing, they can show extreme techniques being used, I don\u2019t care what they are, just the fact they\u2019re going to be released, why would anybody want to do that? <\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one reason, folks, and that is to inflame Muslims in the Middle East. There\u2019s only one reason. Don\u2019t buy all this leftist garbage from the House of Representatives, ‘It\u2019s a Freedom of Information Act.\u2019 There are people who want to undermine their own country, and they sit in the House of Representatives, and they are all Democrats. They want to undermine their own country. I imagine there are people at the State Department who want to undermine their own country. We just learned the other day about this 70-year-old spy for Cuba who it has now been learned in 2006 went to Johns Hopkins University and made an anti-American speech wishing we would sever relations with the United Kingdom, 2006, same guy, Walter Myers, should have been fired on the spot for saying this. Instead he was feted; he was heralded; he was regaled. No wonder Colin Powell flipped when he went over there. The State Department is infested with a bunch of globalist anti-American egghead liberal elites. So now you have the photo release here, which we all thought was taken care of but the House Democrats just won\u2019t let it go and Graham and others are begging Obama to do an executive order on this. <\/p>\n

Now, I understand the argument that the release of the photos could endanger American troops. But we need to ask if there are other reasons, because why do this? This does not serve any purpose, does not make America safer, it does not restore our image in the world, or do any of that, that the Democrats claim to be interested in. What we need to ask is this question. If Muslims in the Middle East are agitated and riot, if they behead a few folks over these detainee photos, what would it take to calm \u2019em down? I mean Abu Ghraib has been torn down. Obama has promised to close Guantanamo Bay. We just sent four terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to Bermuda with a White House escort. What\u2019s going to be the new travel slogan for Bermuda: ‘Hot babes and jihadists\u2019? What the hell are they thinking in Bermuda? And then Eric Holder goes out, yes, and this will definitely make America safer. Why, from transferring from Cuba to Bermuda? This is all gobbledygook. None of this in the realm of common sense is understandable. But if you want to inflame the Middle East, if you want riots, if you want to cause hell to become unleashed in the Middle East, then, of course, what you have at your disposal is these detainee photos. <\/p>\n

So what would it take to calm down a new level of unrest? What would it take? Well, you just have to ask yourself one question. Aside from our prisoners and so-called interrogation techniques what is it that upsets Muslims in the Middle East? Israel. Right? So what becomes the procedure to calm down the possible chaos and riots from release of these photos? Well, we gotta get more concessions from Israel, damn it. Maybe give up Jerusalem or give up half of it, let the Palestinians finally have it. I have great reservations about this administration\u2019s plans for Israel. All I know is that Obama loves chaos; he thrives on it; he needs it. It\u2019s like a crisis, and like Rahm Emanuel said, opportunities arise from crisis. There\u2019s a crisis in the Middle East. It\u2019s an opportunity for Obama, who is now proud of his deep Muslim roots. That\u2019s the Cairo speech, proud of it now. And wouldn\u2019t you know it, it just so happens at this precise moment in time those darn detainee photos are in play just when Israel has a gun at its head to deliver a two-state solution that puts Hamas and Iran in charge of Israel\u2019s fate. <\/p>\n

The Arab world wants this now. It\u2019s a little convoluted because the Arab world is also very worried about Iran. They\u2019re also deadly worried about Iran. The King of Saudi Arabia does not want a nuclear Iran. But you release those photos, you work Muslims into a frenzy at the precise moment we got a gun to Israel\u2019s head, we\u2019ll see what Obama does. We\u2019ll see if he comes through with his executive order to keep these photos from being released. <\/p>\n

I gotta take a break. Open Line Friday, we will get to your phone calls earlier than normal in this hour. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: John in Milford, Connecticut. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hello, Rush. How are you today?<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Very good. I just want to draw a couple parallels between Obama and FDR. World War II eight saboteurs landed in Long Island and they were captured. FDR wanted to put \u2019em on trial in the civilian court, and his attorney general told him, ‘No, if you do that they might only get a couple of years and be released and would encourage more saboteurs to come here.\u2019 He convinced him to put them on military tribunals, and they did, and of the eight; one got life, one got 30 years, the other six were executed. And these guys never killed anybody. All they did was land here. They had all their explosives and stuff, but they never killed anybody, and this whole thing took place in 56 days. From the time they landed in Long Island until the time the six guys were executed, it was only 56 days. Now, Obama wants to bring \u2019em here; he wants to put \u2019em on trial. I mean, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s going to happen. You know, their lawyers, their ACLU lawyers are going to want to look at all the evidence because we gotta have the evidence against our clients because they\u2019re in civilian court, and —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Exactly — they\u2019re.<\/p>\n

CALLER: — if the military won\u2019t turn it over they\u2019re going to say, ‘Hey, you know, we don\u2019t have the evidence, they can\u2019t get a fair trial.\u2019 Bingo, they\u2019re gone.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Either that or they get the evidence. I mean in a trial like this there\u2019s discovery. You know, the defense has to see the evidence and they have to see the witness list. Can you believe a ‘witness list\u2019 for somebody captured in a battlefield?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Really where are the soldiers, too? How are they going to know who was who as far as the American soldiers go, who was who that captured the guy. And now this guy is — they\u2019re going to have to try and find this guy he\u2019s going to have to come forward and his face is going to be put on the news and, you know, now they\u2019re a target. You see a lot of these programs on TV. DEA, FBI agents, faces are all blurred out and everything. But that won\u2019t happen with this. I mean, it endangers American soldiers in a completely new way, just like these photos and all that.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I mean, it\u2019s one thing after another with Obama. Like they say, ‘If you don\u2019t know history you\u2019re destined to repeat it,\u2019 and if he puts these guys on trial here, I mean I don\u2019t think any of them will probably spend a significant amount of time in jail. I really don\u2019t. And then they\u2019ll be here. They\u2019ll just say, well, oh, yeah, I want — like the Germans did, two guys said, ‘Hey,\u2019 they got into New York and they were like, ‘Wow, this place is beautiful. Let\u2019s stay. Let\u2019s turn ourselves in.\u2019<\/p>\n

RUSH: (laughing)<\/p>\n

CALLER: That\u2019s more or less how it came about.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Two guys decided to turn themselves in. At first the FBI didn\u2019t believe \u2019em.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s right. New York, New York… Even New York would look better than your average poppy field in Afghanistan. All right, that\u2019s an excellent point. Sharing the evidence? (sighs) If you\u2019re gonna Mirandize somebody, you have to speak their language. I mean, you could take this to the Nth degree, here. If you Mirandize somebody, you do it when they\u2019re arrested, not after you\u2019ve gotten them behind bars. You do it after they\u2019re arrested. We\u2019re going to have to have translators with every soldier. It\u2019s just absurd. It\u2019s absurd. Thanks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
