RUSH: The State-Controlled Media, folks, is in a tizzy today. The report on consumer confidence at an all-time low? They’re just devastated. The stories are about more and more people feeling disconnected from their own president, and this is the guy they put there! This is the guy that we’ve all been waiting for. This regime was going to make us utopianists. We’re going to live in Pandora, we were going to have a panacea, and there’s nothing but misery, depression. Look at the number of suicides taking place out there. Who was it…? I don’t know. Some other person swallowed a bottle of pills out there, some famous person. I forget who it was. Yeah, it was Jennifer Capriati out there. She lives right up there in Singer Island. She swallowed a bunch of pills. I’m not saying it had anything to do with Obama, but who can say it wasn’t? I mean, that’s what the left would say.
PETRAEUS: What impresses the Taliban is not the rules of engagement. It’s the precise targeted operations that are designed to give them no rest. The idea is if you can get your teeth into the jugular of the enemy, you don’t let go. This word ‘relentless’ is an important word to describe the campaign against the Taliban.
RUSH: He might have been answering a question. I’m not sure. It doesn’t sound like it’s opening statement. But Taliban is not impressed by our rules of engagement? He coulda said, ‘They laugh at our rules of engagement. What they’re impressed by is when we put our boot on their necks, not BP’s, and squeeze the life out of them, and we don’t let go. That word ‘relentless,’ that’s important. That’s why I use it: Relentless pursuit of perfection and the truth here at the EIB Network.
