This is exactly the terminology with Vietnam.  We\u2019re gonna send 130 more military advisors to northern Iraq just to help the local forces in their fight against the Islamic militants, ISIS or ISIL, they\u2019re known in both ways. <\/p>\n<p>Just 130 more.  From the guy who said we\u2019re gonna get out, from the guy who said we should have never gone, from the guy who beat up Bush for seven years over it, from the guy and the party and the media that just ridiculed anything and everything to do with Iraq.  The irony of this is overwhelming to me. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/wireStory\/pentagon-send-advisers-iraq-24948019\"><img id=\"eZObject_94726\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaIraqWarArticle.jpg\"\/><\/a>The very people who were gonna end this and make it a better world, the very people who were going to end strife and end partisanship and end arguments and solve problems and make the bad guys love us finally, are now escalating hostilities in the very place they said we had no business going or being in the first place. And that we were lied to to get there. And that there weren\u2019t any weapons of mass destruction, and Bush knew, and there was lousy intel. It\u2019s a phony excuse. Bush and Cheney are just a bunch of warmongers that wanted to get Saddam for whatever reason. <\/p>\n<p>And now look.  Well, we had bad intel. We didn\u2019t know how bad ISIS was. We would have never gotten out of Iraq totally, well, except I promised my base I would so I had to get out, but now we\u2019re going back in, but I gotta make the base think it\u2019s just chump change, nothing serious here, so just 130 more advisors.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: We continue with the audio sound bites.  This is Ben Rhodes, and he\u2019s the deputy national security advisor.  It\u2019s about the troops that we\u2019re sending to Iraq. He\u2019s assuring AP, Julie Pace, he\u2019s assuring her that these are not boots on the ground, these 130 new ones, no, no, no, no, no.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_94745\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ABCRhodes_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RHODES:  With respect to the humanitarian situation, that is to get food, water, and emergency supplies to the population on this mountain, and also, as necessary, to take air strikes against ISIL as they threaten the people on that mountain.  These 130 personnel are not going to be in a combat role in Iraq.  The key point here is that the US forces, the role of US forces is not one of reentering combat on the ground.  It\u2019s how to provide humanitarian assistance to this affected population.  And again, in terms of the kinetic actions that are being taken, those are in the form of air strikes.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right.  They\u2019re not gonna be a part of kinetic action.  It\u2019s just like we said in Vietnam. These are just advisors. They\u2019re not boots on the ground, not gonna be pulling the trigger on anybody.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Couple of things here.  What is &#8220;kinetic action&#8221;?  There\u2019s no war here.  We don\u2019t have these boots; they\u2019re not on the ground.  We\u2019re engaged in &#8220;kinetic action.&#8221;  That\u2019s how Obama described what we did to take on you Moammar Khadafy.  It wasn\u2019t a war.  It was &#8220;kinetic action.&#8221; Do you think Khadafy could tell the difference?  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey, Moammar, the US has just declared war on you!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, don\u2019t worry about it! Don\u2019t worry about it! This is just &#8216;kinetic action.\u2019 No harm to come.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Really?  There\u2019s a difference in &#8216;kinetic action\u2019 and war?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Well, that\u2019s what the Regime is saying.  They make up all these new words to describe what they\u2019re doing, which is the same old stuff.  By the way, didn\u2019t Eric Holder tell us that criticism of Obama is racist?  Well, does that mean that Hillary is racist?  She\u2019s out there ripping into his foreign policy as sit on your ass and do nothing. She\u2019s being critical of him.  Any criticism of Obama\u2019s racist.<\/p>\n<p>(interruption) That\u2019s right.  It\u2019s not the first time we\u2019ve heard that about the Clintons, and then the White House is turning around, attacking Hillary.  Is that sexism?  And then isn\u2019t all this misogynistic if you strip away what happening here?  There\u2019s a whole bunch of isms going on.  (interruption)  Is Obama afraid of strong women?  I don\u2019t think so.  I think he\u2019s surrounded by strong women. <\/p>\n<p>I think this is the most chickified Regime that we\u2019ve ever had.  His lawyers are&#8230; (sigh) I had a story long time ago that four prominent Obama advisors are all women prosecutors, former prosecutors and so forth. You\u2019ve got Susan Rice in there. You got Valerie Jarrett who runs the whole show. You got Samantha Power.  Does that woman not constantly look constipated?  In pain. <\/p>\n<p>She constantly looks like she\u2019s in pain.  She got this pained frown look on her face, &#8220;Oh, oh, my God. Oh!&#8221;  Then she\u2019s at the UN. (interruption) I don\u2019t know if I could&#8230; (interruption) I guess you can\u2019t blame her.  But&#8230; (interruption) No, I do.  I think this a chickified Regime.  All I mean by that is there are more powerful women.  I don\u2019t think he\u2019s afraid of them at all.  Well, maybe he is and that\u2019s why they\u2019re there.  I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Do you know we are going to send 130 more advisors? This is exactly the terminology with Vietnam.
