Folks, this is who liberals are &#8212; and, yes, I\u2019m on a quest. I am on a quest for people on this radio show to understand who liberals are and what they do and how they think.  These guys! They really think handcuffing and puffing, drawing red lines and flexing their muscles gonna scare Bashar Assad.  And then he tries to assure Bashar, &#8220;We\u2019re not gonna go to war.&#8221; He\u2019s telling his Hollywood buddies and his Democrat voters (summarized), &#8220;We\u2019re not going to war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019re gonna be able to hold Bashar accountable.  We don\u2019t have to put troops on the ground or anything like that.  It\u2019ll be very limited, very targeted. It isn\u2019t gonna be much.&#8221;  I mean, you declare this overwhelmingly, threatening evil &#8212; nerve gas, chemical weapons, all this &#8212; and then you come back and say, &#8220;But we\u2019re not gonna do much to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: John Kerry.  We have just spent the past two weeks with Kerry and Obama telling us what a rotten guy Assad is. &#8220;He has chemical weapons, biological weapons, nerve gas.  It doesn\u2019t get any worse!  This is just short of nukes. This guy\u2019s gotta be stopped.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Then Obama says, &#8220;Well, maybe in 10 days, and only if Congress agrees,&#8221; and then he goes and plays golf, and then denies ever drawing a red line.  All of this.  Then Kerry\u2019s out there huffing and puffing about what a dangerous guy this is and they\u2019ve got the evidence.  &#8220;It\u2019s toooootally concluuuuusive.  We\u2019ve gotta get rid of this guy! This guy\u2019s a scum,&#8221; after having dinner with him four or five times nine years ago, at a posh restaurant requiring a jack and tie, after talking about what a reformer this guy is.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_81061\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kerry090913.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now they\u2019re out there saying he\u2019s one the biggest reprobates on the face of the earth.  At a joint press conference today with the UK foreign secretary, Kerry says, &#8220;Well, we\u2019re not gonna go to war! Come on! I mean, we\u2019re not going to war. We won\u2019t put boots on the ground. We\u2019re not gonna be able to hold him accountable without engaging troops. There\u2019ll be no prolonged effort. It\u2019ll be something very short-term, targeted, that degrades his capacity to deliver weapons.  It\u2019s not gonna be a big deal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019ll be unbelievably small,&#8221; and then he tells Assad he has a week to give up!  This is some kind of &#8220;pathic.&#8221;  Sociopathic, psychopathic, I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s some &#8220;pathic.&#8221;  Now, again, what Kerry thinks is gonna happen&#8230; I think both things.  He\u2019s trying to calm down his base.  I mean, the left out there, folks, really are fit to be tied over this.  They just don\u2019t have the guts to say so. The Congressional Black Caucus is being told to shut up.  The left is fit to be tied.<\/p>\n<p>On all the blogs, they can\u2019t understand. They hate this.  The US going to war? A Democrat, anti-war president? John Kerry speaking positively of sending in missiles? They hate this.  So Kerry is trying to assuage them. &#8220;It isn\u2019t gonna be a big deal! Don\u2019t worry about it. We\u2019re not sending troops in there. We\u2019re not gonna get anybody killed. We\u2019re just gonna send a couple missiles. It\u2019s gonna be really small and really unbelievably limited,&#8221; and somehow this is also supposed to persuade Assad to give.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You gotta hear this, folks.
