RUSH: Bob in Brownstone, Michigan. Welcome, sir. Glad you waited.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thanks, Rush. Thank you for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You bet.<\/p>\n

CALLER: The reason I called, I remember back in 2004 you counseling us to be patient with Bush because he wasn\u2019t firing back with the 527s and Kerry attacks against him, and I would urge the same caution here and same patience with the Israelis. They\u2019ve never been one to pay much attention to world opinion, and I think they\u2019re massing on the border, and I think we\u2019re going to see a large pincer movement going into southern Lebanon and maybe beyond, who knows what else. But I think they\u2019re preparing, and I think they\u2019re going to do a marvelous job for us.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, so are a lot of people hoping that, because they want to see the old Israel. They want to see the same old Israel. Israel shows the way.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Israel lights the way on this. Israel doesn\u2019t fight minimalist wars. It hasn\u2019t in the past — and I mentioned Ralph Peters had a piece on Saturday in the New York Post. Headline: ‘Can Israel Win?\u2019 and he says not the way it\u2019s fighting. I\u2019ll give you some excerpts of this just so you understand what I\u2019m talking about, but you mentioned the tanks. You mentioned Israel is massing the tanks on the border here. Can I point something out for you? Wall-to-wall coverage this weekend of the war on Fox, CNN, PMSNBC, et cetera, and has it struck you, folks, have you been aware, have you realized that you haven\u2019t seen any pictures or videotape of all the rockets that Hezbollah has lobbed at those tanks? <\/p>\n

Oh, we hear from the reporters, the tanks are massed just across the border and we see videotape of the tanks. Have you seen any of those tanks targeted by Hezbollah? Now, this is not just an empty, baseless question. There\u2019s a reason for it. Because I would think that if you\u2019re Hezbollah, and the enemy has all kinds of tanks and armored personnel carriers, artillery and so forth, it\u2019s an appropriate military target to hit, is it not? Fire your Katyushas at it, fire your rockets at that amassed base of weaponry and take it out. The purpose of armies is to kill people and break things, right? This is elementary military strategery, folks, but Hezbollah doesn\u2019t seem interested at all in taking out those tanks, and there are lots of them that have been amassed on the border.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s because they can\u2019t recalibrate their aim, the azimuth and the algorithms and so forth. Don\u2019t tell me. I\u2019ll tell you why they\u2019re not aiming at those tanks is because they don\u2019t care about the tanks. They want to kill innocent civilians. They want to kill Jews. This is not about a war to them. This is about continued acts of terror. You don\u2019t get 72 virgins for wiping out an Israeli tank. You just don\u2019t. I haven\u2019t read it, but I am relatively confident in pointing this out. So, you know, network info babes, go stand by the tanks. It\u2019s going to be your safest place to be because they are not going to be targeted. The worst place the info babes and the media could be is next to some Jewish settlements or some Jewish civilian populations, because that remains the target. <\/line>You know, I was told over the weekend, there\u2019s a similar thing that happened here in World War II. Remember Hitler\u2019s bombing campaign against England, he was preparing for the invasion. The goal of that battle for the Germans was to gain air superiority over the British isles and they were within literally a few days of succeeding by concentrating their attacks on RAF airfields and radar installations and other similar support units. They were taking out the Royal Air Force\u2019s ability to wage war. Then, a British pilot on a bombing mission over Germany one night got lost, he accidentally dropped his load, so to speak, on Berlin.<\/line>That just made Hitler so damn mad and the Third Reich high command so mad that he shifted the focus of his bombing from the strategy of acquiring air superiority to essentially terror bombing, bombing innocent civilian targets in London and other parts of the UK in the hope of breaking the will of the English people. Well, this gave the RAF a breather and a chance to put itself back together. It did not destroy the will of the British people because Churchill was there guiding them through it all and it made them mad as it made Hitler. The RAF was able to put itself back together and wage war, and as we all know what happened, Hitler went down to defeat with via suicide and a number of other things. <\/line>The point here is, ladies and gentlemen, if Hezbollah was anything other than a bunch of wacko terrorists, it would be using its military assets to attack Israeli military assets, and it\u2019s not, but the Israelis are doing that. The Israelis are aiming at every military asset of Hezbollah they can find. They\u2019re trying to root out these bunkers, they are trying to find the cache of weapons that\u2019s inside them, they\u2019re trying to bomb the bunkers that the Hezbollah cowards are hiding under, and they are bombing civilian locations where the rockets that Hezbollah is launching are being launched from. Hezbollah, typical terrorist cowards, are hiding behind innocent civilians, and don\u2019t forget this. Pointed this out last week. Hezbollah is not letting innocent Lebanese civilians leave the neighborhood. They\u2019ve got roadblocks. They want these people killed. <\/line>There\u2019s video of the tanks right now. I\u2019ll bet not one tank has been hit. I\u2019ll bet not one tank has been lost. I\u2019ll bet Hezbollah\u2019s not even trying to hit the weapons of war as used by Israel. They\u2019re just trying to kill Jews, folks. It\u2019s just that simple. They\u2019re just engaged in blatant terrorism, which is their stock-in-trade. Why should they change now? The real sad thing about this, too, by the way, is that the people responsible for this are not suffering at all, Bashar Assad, Ahmadinejad, and whoever else in these satellite countries that\u2019s behind all this. The Hezbollah guys, they\u2019re dying, but the leadership is still pretty intact. But it is Israeli civilians and some Lebanese civilians that are being killed here or wounded and injured. But, far more Israeli civilians are being wounded and killed than are Lebanese. Because even as the BBC is reporting, most of the Lebanese dead are in fact terrorists disguised as civilians living in these homes which are serving as rocket launchers. Jim in Kansas City, Missouri, welcome to the EIB Network, sir.<\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: Dittos from Kansas City, Rush.<\/p>\n

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

CALLER: Second-time caller, everyday listener.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m glad to have you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Let me get right to it. As I\u2019ve been surveying the general attitude of what I see in the United States at this time, and more specifically focusing on your previous comments about Mr. Buckley and the idea of a minimalist war, my thought has been for quite a while that in order for the United States to be totally shaken out of what I feel is a very complacent, even apathetic attitude, is that we\u2019re going to have to have another 9\/11 event that is going to be of a magnitude that the American people, or at least enough of them, will get the feeling that the only way we can do this is to take Israel\u2019s approach. We just gotta go after \u2019em and get it done. And while I don\u2019t relish the idea of this, I just don\u2019t see any other way that the broad spectrum across the political boundaries is ever going to change unless and until that happens. So my question is: What are your thoughts on that, and if not that scenario, what would you see as a scenario?<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I\u2019m not going to sit here and advocate for another 9\/11 type attack. I have, like you, on many previous occasions, I have said that I fear it is going to take that. Every day last week I thought I went through this, explaining why I think it is. We have so much affluence and prosperity in this country, that we have the freedom and the time to ignore it. If we don\u2019t want to pay attention to it, we don\u2019t have to. As individuals, if we want to assume that, ‘Hey, you know, that war is over there. It has nothing to do with me. Life is to be enjoyed. I\u2019m not going to get all caught up in this.\u2019 That\u2019s the safe play, because once you commit to taking it on, then of course you\u2019re committing to being involved in doing something about it, and I don\u2019t mean joining the army. But you\u2019re committing to taking it seriously, and to some people, there\u2019s no need. The United States does not appear to be that threatened by this. But then you bring in such unknowns as Iran, and the question, ‘Do we want them to become a nuclear Iran or not? And if we don\u2019t, what do we do about it? And if we don\u2019t care, what\u2019s our plan to deal with them afterwards?\u2019 And I don\u2019t know that anyone\u2019s got a plan to deal with a nuclear Iran, other than the famous containment and appeasement and favorite words of the eastern elites, intellectuals. As to whether another 9\/11, certainly don\u2019t want to wish that. But look it, networks still will not pay videotape of what happened on 9\/11. It\u2019s just too traumatic, it\u2019s just too soon. Remember, it was too soon to see United 93? It\u2019s just too soon. <\/p>\n

Our emotions haven\u2019t recovered and so forth. So too many people, or enough people in this country, can check out. ‘Ah, I don\u2019t believe it\u2019s a serious problem, don\u2019t want to play, don\u2019t want to participate.\u2019 In that case it\u2019s tough to muster a national will to deal with a problem that other people think is severe and serious. The parallels here are eerie — and I\u2019ve pointed these out, too, the parallels to Winston Churchill trying to warn the British people in the late thirties and early forties about what was going on in Nazi Germany, and the British leadership at the time just didn\u2019t want to hear it. They had no desire to hear it, and even if it were true, they said it\u2019s not our fight, not our problem. We don\u2019t want to get involved. Here the same thing. I guess liberals are liberals, and the human nature of liberals is consistent across the span of generations.<\/p>\n
