\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Donald Rumsfeld, who is a true statesman, Donald Rumsfeld has served this country for decades. Donald Rumsfeld gave this country the best that he has. Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of G. D. Searle & Company at the time they introduced aspartame, Equal, and released it onto the market, which everybody knows is an effort to poison people and turn \u2019em into communists. Just kidding, Snerdley. This is what some people think. <\/p>\n

Rumsfeld is a great man. The John Kerrys, the Nancy Pelosis, the Hillary Clintons, the Barack Obamas and everybody associated with them tried to destroy Donald Rumsfeld. For eight years, both terms of the Bush administration, secretary of defense, tried to destroy him, along with trying to destroy Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby and Karl Rove, tried to destroy him. Not just disagreed with him. Tried to destroy him. It was infuriating, and it\u2019s not uncommon. The left uses this as their modus operandi. <\/p>\n

Rumsfeld was on with Greta last night. I really wish I could play the whole thing for you. It is such an illustration of the stark contrast between then and now. True statesmanship, true leadership, true competence, versus the rank amateur fire drill that we\u2019re living with now. I\u2019ve only got one sound bite here, but it\u2019ll give you a flavor. Greta Van Susteren said to Rumsfeld, “What\u2019s the worst-case scenario? What do we have to worry about?”<\/p>\n

RUMSFELD: What you have to worry about is that the role of the United States is seen as ineffective, weak, and that our country is in decline. The credibility of the United States has already been damaged, and it would probably be further damaged if we did, quote, a shot across the bow, and that\u2019s it. We\u2019re better off not doing that, it seems to me. The absence of leadership is a signal to the world that the United States is withdrawing, that the United States is not gonna be a factor for contributing to peace and stability in the world, and if someone said, “Well, what\u2019s the biggest thing you worry about?” I would worry about that.<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: And that\u2019s big. First time in our history we will not be standing for that. First time in our history we will not be contributing to peace and stability in the world. The absence of leadership, which is what we\u2019ve got here, is a signal to the world that the US is withdrawing, that we are in decline, that we\u2019re no longer a factor. He didn\u2019t say it, but I can. This is all on purpose, by design. Because we now are being led by people who do not believe in the goodness of this country in the way Donald Rumsfeld does. They don\u2019t believe that the United States has contributed to peace and stability. We have done just the opposite. We are the reason for the instability of the world, and we are the reason for the lack of peace. And I am not exaggerating, folks. <\/p>\n

If you get these people privately, when there are no cameras or microphones around, and they\u2019re just in whatever their faculty lounge equivalent is, sipping cocktails, this is what you\u2019re gonna hear \u2019em say. Do not doubt me. It is what informs them, it\u2019s what animates them, it\u2019s why they want to be in charge of the country, is to change that. They think this country has behaved immorally and in an unjust way. Look at that college professor at Michigan State. We\u2019ve stolen and raped the world\u2019s resources. We\u2019ve taken them for our use. We\u2019ve made the world poorer. They believe this. A United States in decline is what\u2019s desired so that we learn a lesson about what it\u2019s like for the rest of the people in the world. It\u2019s about time we got a comeuppance. We\u2019re not this great exceptional place. They don\u2019t believe it, they never have. <\/p>\n

<\/a>And Rumsfeld is very worried about it. He said one of the key aspects of leadership is clarity. And by inference, there isn\u2019t any clarity. There\u2019s absolute confusion, no matter where you go, Syria, Benghazi, Obamacare, doesn\u2019t matter, there is abject confusion everywhere. Nobody knows what\u2019s on tap. There\u2019s another great quote from Rumsfeld. “This president has tried to find a way to blame everybody or anybody for everything! And leadership requires that you stand up, take a position, provide clarity and take responsibility. And I can\u2019t imagine him saying that he didn\u2019t draw the red line, but he did draw the red line.”<\/p>\n

You know, what we played for you yesterday, Obama (imitating Obama), “My credibility isn\u2019t on the line. I didn\u2019t draw that red line. The world drew that red line.” You may have heard that, started laughing, like we did here. And you may have been incredulous when you heard it. But let me tell you something. To real statesmen, to people who take the highest positions of leadership in this country very seriously, that was something incomprehensible. Never expect something like that from a president. A congressman or senator, but never from a president. “I didn\u2019t draw that red line. I\u2019m not responsible. My credibility isn\u2019t on the line.” They can\u2019t believe it. Even when they go on TV, they\u2019re not really expressing how dumbfounded, disappointed and scared they are about what that kind of mentality means.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think the word I\u2019m looking for here is “appalled,” and it may be worse than that. I mean, true leaders and statesmen, people who really take this stuff seriously, who have a cherished opinion of this country, are appalled, folks, at what they\u2019re seeing. On the international stage, they\u2019re just literally appalled. Rumsfeld on Greta last night was just appalled. You could see it. He made a good point that if Obama really wanted regime change, it might make a little more sense what we\u2019re doing here. At least there\u2019d be a goal. At least there\u2019d be an objective. But what\u2019s the point. A shot across bow? What are we doing here? What really are we doing? Nobody can answer that question. <\/p>\n

What are we doing? Human rights, civil rights violations because of nerve gas, what are we doing? What we\u2019re doing is being guided by the absolute intellectual vacancy of liberalism. The emptiness, the sophistry, the symbolism of liberalism is what\u2019s leading us and guiding us and directing us. I mean the country; not you and me. And serious people are appalled by this. Rumsfeld: The president has tried to find a way to blame everybody or everything for everything. Leadership requires you stand up; you take a position; you provide clarity; you take responsibility. <\/p>\n

Grab sound bite 20 from today. Here\u2019s Obama from yesterday<\/a>. And, by the way, not just people like Rumsfeld or Cheney, but I\u2019m telling you everybody around the world that takes this stuff seriously, who keeps up with it. It was last summer, Obama drew the red line. He defined what crossing the red line would mean. Yesterday: No, I didn\u2019t. I didn\u2019t do that. I didn\u2019t do that at all.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: I didn\u2019t set a red line. The world set a red line. The world set a red line when governments representing 98% of the world\u2019s population said —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay, that\u2019s enough. Move on to sound bite 21. He was asked about it at a Q&A press conference, “What do you mean you didn\u2019t set the red line? Everybody heard you set the red line.”<\/p>\n

OBAMA: My credibility is not on the line. The international community\u2019s credibility is on the line, and America and Congress\u2019 credibility is on the line.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: But not his. Stop the tape. Folks, this is some “pathic.” I don\u2019t know what, psychopathic, it\u2019s some pathic. (imitating Obama) “I didn\u2019t set that red line. I didn\u2019t draw the red line. My credibility isn\u2019t on the line.” Congress and America, the country, but not him? He drew the red line, then he said he didn\u2019t, then he said his credibility isn\u2019t on the line. It\u2019s Congress\u2019 fault \u2019cause they\u2019re the ones that passed a resolution decades ago against the use of chemical weapons. So, yeah, it\u2019s the Republicans\u2019 fault. And you\u2019ve got people watching this, and I\u2019m telling you, they\u2019re questioning the stability of the people running this country and they\u2019re scared to death.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re not gonna go on television and say that. They\u2019re gonna go on TV and say what Rumsfeld said last night. We have a wonderful country, and if the president would bring in good advisers, sit down and think through where he is and get down to bedrock, to concrete, and know where he is and then decide that he\u2019s willing to make a decision. Either the decision is to not do something, if he\u2019s unwilling to do anything that\u2019s gonna change the regime. I think he\u2019s probably better off doing nothing and accepting the burden that falls on us from all of his prior statements, than going out there and making an absolute stupid mistake. <\/p>\n

Now, those are not Rumsfeld\u2019s words, the last ones, I\u2019m throwing them in myself. But this is dangerous. And it\u2019s not cool, and it\u2019s not clever lying, and it\u2019s not brilliant politics. It\u2019s not Obama cleverly outwitting his opponents. He\u2019s president of the United States, he\u2019s not up to it. He doesn\u2019t want the job. He doesn\u2019t want the responsibility, not on something like this. He would be glad to raise your taxes and control your life with health care. But he doesn\u2019t want all this. This is too messy. He\u2019s doing this stuff \u2019cause he\u2019s got to. He\u2019s gotta provide cover for the Democrats and he\u2019s gotta do all these things, but this is too messy. But he does have the job, and it\u2019s not responsible. I don\u2019t know whether he knows it or not, his credibility is on the line. <\/p>\n

It is his credibility on line, and there\u2019s nothing he can do about that. He can go all day and say, “I didn\u2019t draw the red line. Congress drew that red line, international community. It\u2019s not my credibility. It may be America\u2019s problem, not mine.” Can you imagine any president ever saying, “It\u2019s not my problem, it\u2019s America\u2019s problem.” Who the hell says that? Who, what kind of person thinks that? That\u2019s what\u2019s got people troubled. It\u2019s not my problem, it\u2019s America\u2019s problem. This is not some college professor, not some president of the law review here. This is not some state senator voting “present,” although it actually is. That\u2019s what this looks like. <\/p>\n

Moving on, Dr. Kissinger, if I can find my place. Yep, audio sound bite number four. Dr. Kissinger last night On the Record With Greta Van Susteren. She said, “If you don\u2019t agree with the president that this is in our national interests, should you still go along with the president because he has proclaimed it is?” Meaning, okay, look, the president, should we support the guy just because of that, even if we don\u2019t agree with what he\u2019s doing?<\/p>\n

KISSINGER: What is the impact on the international situation? If the president of the United States for the first time in American history is refused authority by the Congress to do what he has declared in the national interests, the impact of that on allies and on people that we will have to be in possible confrontation with could be enormous. I don\u2019t think this issue should ever have been brought to the Congress as a single issue of does one strike or does one not strike?<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Of course not, so why was it? For political reasons. That\u2019s all this is, is Obama gunning for the 2014 midterms. All this is. He doesn\u2019t need congressional authority to do what he said he\u2019s gonna do, and it is a surgical strike of cruise missiles. He doesn\u2019t need congressional authority. He\u2019s even said he doesn\u2019t need it. But after a 45-minute walk on the White House grounds, Obama had a revelation. And he said, “I am going to ask Congress for permission, authorization.” I don\u2019t know who he was walking with, but it had to be a political adviser who said, “Mr. president, let\u2019s turn this to our advantage, find a way to blame it on the Republicans,” which is all they ever do. Everything they do is designed to eliminate political opposition. <\/p>\n

That unqualified, incompetent college professor at Michigan State that we played for you in the first hour, same thing. These people are not interested in debating in the arena of ideas and prevailing on the strength of their ideas. They don\u2019t want to deal with any opposition. So Obama is using the Syrian people and whatever is happening there as an opportunity to defeat Republicans again. He doesn\u2019t need congressional authority, but now he\u2019s gonna seek it, and I\u2019m telling you he\u2019s hoping they don\u2019t grant it. That gives him two things that he wants. A, he doesn\u2019t have to launch an attack, and, two, he can blame it all on them. (imitating Obama) “I told you it wasn\u2019t my problem. I told you my credibility wasn\u2019t on the line. It\u2019s the Republicans. Republicans don\u2019t care about this country. Republicans don\u2019t care about doing what is right. Republicans don\u2019t care about people dying from nerve gas. Republicans, Republicans, Republicans. Villains, villains, villains. They don\u2019t care who\u2019s dying from nerve gas. I did everything I could. I went by the Constitution. I asked them to help me, and they didn\u2019t want to help. They don\u2019t care.” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the name of the game. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the Obama administration in a nutshell: “How do we blame everything on the Republicans?” James Carville was on O\u2019Reilly last night. We got the tape. Blame Bush! You know why this mess exists? Is because Bush went into Iraq, and everybody hated it, and now nobody trusts Obama to do the right thing because of Bush. If Bush hadn\u2019t made such a mess of Iraq, then everybody would be totally supporting Obama, but everybody remembers what a mess that was.<\/p>\n

Hey, James? Let me tell you the truth — something you know, my friend. Iraq was not a mess. You guys made it a mess in the US media and in the halls of Congress, but it wasn\u2019t a mess. You guys made it that. You convinced people it was a mess. This is cowardice, to go back and keep blaming this on Bush. And then Dr. Kissinger here, don\u2019t forget one of the salient points he made: What is the impact on the international situation?<\/p>\n

The president, for the first time in American history, is refused authority by the Congress to do what he\u2019s declared in the national interest? (interruption) Well, what Obama wants is exactly that story. He wants a headline in the New York Times that says: “For the First Time in American History, Republican Congress Denies President.” That\u2019s what he wants, folks. That\u2019s what all this is about. I don\u2019t know if Kissinger knows what he swerved into or not, but that\u2019s what Obama wants. <\/p>\n

He wants that headline the New York Times and all over networks. “For the First Time in American History, Republican Congress Denies President,” or “For the First Time in American History, Congress — Led By Republicans — Denies President What He Has Asked for in the National Interest.” That\u2019s what they want. That\u2019s the endgame. That headline. Henry Kissinger, he\u2019s looking at it the other way: What\u2019s the impact on the international situation if the president is denied?<\/p>\n

What Kissinger is saying is, that ends all respect for America, \u2019cause what that says to the world is, “The Congress thinks the president\u2019s joke.” Obama wants the headline domestically: “For the First Time in American History, Congress…” Again, it won\u2019t take long in the body of that story to find racism as the reason: “Racist Republicans, for the first time in American history, denied a president — Obama — the use of force in a situation in the national interests.” <\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what they want. It\u2019s not about the people of Syria. It\u2019s not about Assad, chemical weapons and so forth. The only enemy Obama really is energized to destroy is us, folks — Republicans, the Tea Party — and notice, this is all happening while the Republican leadership in Washington is doing everything it can to befriend Obama. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Hey, folks? Now it must be really getting serious, \u2019cause Obama is canceling a fundraiser in Hollywood to stay in Washington to deal with the Syrian situation. That means this is serious. A fundraiser is the second most important thing in Obama\u2019s life, and to cancel one of those means it\u2019s getting serious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
