I certainly am not anti-war. I\u2019m anti-this-war, and I\u2019m certainly not anti-American. I\u2019m very patriotic.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, it\u2019s good to know that you\u2019re there.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You know?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You took what I said personally, obviously.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, yes. I think the majority of liberals and\/or Democrats are taking it personally.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, I hope they do. Let me tell you &#8212; I didn\u2019t say it because I didn\u2019t mean it. <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Why did you say it?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I only listen to what Democrats say. I only read what they write on their blogs. I only listen to what they say to me on the phones here when they write me e-mails, listen to the Democrats in Washington. I dare say you can\u2019t find one but Joe Lieberman who is making any sense about this or is even talking about victory and American might and American righteousness. I can\u2019t find any of them.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, when the war first started, okay, you didn\u2019t hear the outcry from liberals and Democrats. I was pro-this war, okay? But after these many years, it\u2019s gone on too long.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Right. Right.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: It\u2019s gone on too long.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: We need to quit. We need to quit and get out of there. <\/line><BR\/>CALLER: We need a strategy. We don\u2019t need to quit.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, what do you think is coming tonight?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: What\u2019s coming tonight is, in your terms &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait a minute. Did you say we need an exit strategy? That\u2019s quitting, that\u2019s cutting-and-running, that\u2019s get out.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: No, Rush, let\u2019s say it\u2019s five years from now.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Right?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: And we leave Iraq.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Isn\u2019t that cutting-and-running?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Not if there\u2019s victory.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: What if there isn\u2019t?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You keep going \u2019til there\u2019s victory.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>CALLER: What\u2019s victory?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Victory is a stable Iraq.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: What\u2019s your definition of victory?<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/across_the_fruited_plain.Par.0007.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"192\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignright\"\/>RUSH: Victory is a stable Iraq where the insurgency, as an existing political movement, has been put down and the Iraqis can handle it and deal with it themselves. They don\u2019t like this unrest any more than anybody else. They\u2019ve got a thriving economy, they want to protect it. They want to continue to grow. This is not in their best interests, either. And until they\u2019re able to pull it down and quell it themselves there\u2019s no sense in getting out of there and leaving the country a mess. What about what the New York Times said yesterday? The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/01\/09\/opinion\/09tue1.html?_r=1&#038;hp&#038;oref=slogin\">New York Times<\/a> said, ?We gotta get out of there, but we gotta make sure the Iranians don\u2019t take over the oil fields; we gotta make sure there\u2019s no civil war; and we gotta make sure that there is no greater, wider regional war.? How do we do that by leaving with an exit strategy?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, there comes a time &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: To quit.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; no, not quit.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I\u2019m sorry, Steve, I can interpret it no other way. When you want to leave before the job\u2019s done, whether it\u2019s a war or whether it\u2019s the assignment you have at whatever job you were &#8212; when you leave before it\u2019s done, when you quit, there\u2019s nothing valorous about it.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019ll tell you something, okay?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yeah.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: There comes a time who you have to make a decision whether it\u2019s the right or the wrong or the good or the bad. It\u2019s come a time when the war has gone on too long, you have an exit strategy, whether it\u2019s &#8212; <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Will you &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; there\u2019s no winning or losing.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes, there is. You sound like Nancy Pelosi now. There\u2019s no winning or losing, it\u2019s just a situation we gotta fix.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You know, again, and I hate, with all due respect, with all due respect &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; for many years<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I what\u2019s coming now.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; for many years &#8212; many, many years &#8212; no, for many, many years, and believe it or not I do listen to your program. I don\u2019t agree with you the majority of the time.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No. You need to work on that, too.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well &#8212; but you have termed people as being flip-floppers, okay? For many, many years, George Bush has said, ?Stay the course, stay this course, stay the course.? And now, he\u2019s the biggest flip-flopper of them at all. He\u2019s changing. Wouldn\u2019t you say that?<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: I can\u2019t believe, of all the things that you have said, that\u2019s the thing I find most incredulous. Bush is flip-flopping by changing strategy to win? Bush has never wavered from the desire to win. He is trying a new set of generals and a new set of strategical moves oriented toward victory, and you are look at that as a flip-flop?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I would venture to say that the majority of people look at it that way.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, let me ask you, where in the Constitution does it say that the majority of the American people are the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief has to bend to the will of the majority of the people?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I can\u2019t answer that.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, because it\u2019s not there.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, okay.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: It\u2019s not there. Bush can\u2019t get elected anymore because he can\u2019t run anymore, unlike Hugo Chavez, who is going to set up unlimited terms in Venezuela. Steve, seriously, there?s something you guys have to consider here. You opened your call by pointing out how you were heavy metal to the pedal ready to go for war when this whole thing started, you were right there, and all the Democrats were, too. And you\u2019re right. In fact, they were so eager they demanded a new resolution in October of 2002 to make sure the American people knew they were for this, because the American people were ready to kick some ass after 9\/11. Bush warned us about various aspects of Iraq and Saddam Hussein using identical words Bill Clinton had used in 1998. <\/line><BR\/>Then when we got to a hundred casualties, that\u2019s when the linguini-spined began to fall out. Then they started, &#8220;Bush lied to us, Bush lied to us, Bush lied to us, he lied to us!&#8221; There is a permanent anti-war wing of the Democrat Party, and it is existing whether there\u2019s a war or not. It comes to life when there is a war, and it is in the Democrat Party, and it is large. It defines a whole segment of the Democrat Party and there are many reasons for it. They are pacifists, they are guilty, they think America deserves to lose in war, they are hesitant for the American military to succeed because it makes war look productive, which it is if it\u2019s fought for the right purposes and the right places, but it never fails. <\/line><BR\/>You can call here and try to claim all this great heroic credit for supporting this at the outset, but you get no credit when you want to cut-and-run before we win, meaning we lose. You don\u2019t get credit, that\u2019s not smart thinking, that\u2019s not enlightened in any way, shape, manner, or form. Be patient. Just wait two years. You\u2019ll probably elect a Democrat president and we\u2019ll quit everything, we\u2019ll give up everything and we\u2019ll really start blaming America for problems like global warming, lack of a cure for Parkinson\u2019s. If you want this country beat to shreds so that it\u2019s unrecognizable in about ten to 15 years, be patient. If the Democrats win the White House in 2008, that process will begin. <\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>RUSH: Frank in Tarpon Springs, Florida, welcome to the EIB Network.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, I supported this war from the beginning and I\u2019ve supported the president up until now.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Another one.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I believe that a troop surge at this point is misguided policy, and I\u2019ll give you my explanation real quick.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Okay, I\u2019m ready. Let me take notes here.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: In 1991, we sent 575,000 young Americans, of which I was one &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; to Saudi Arabia to remove Saddam\u2019s troops from a country the size of Rhode Island.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait a minute. They sent you to Saudi Arabia?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I was in the Red Sea, technically, but that\u2019s where we were, in that region, Saudi Arabia, most of the troops were on the ground in Saudi Arabia.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Uh, Frank, my friend, it was Kuwait you\u2019re talking about here.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Yes, sir, 1991.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Right. Kuwait. That\u2019s not Saudi Arabia.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay, well, the American troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia on the ground. Regardless, we sent 575,000 &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: We had a base there, but we sent 500-plus-thousand to Kuwait.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Okay. Well, we sent them to Saudi Arabia and then they invaded and went into Kuwait. Not all of them, part of them. But anyway, we sent 575,000 troops to the region to accomplish that mission. In 2003, we sent roughly 200,000 to occupy a country, topple the government for multiple years, a country of size of California. Now we need more troops to secure Baghdad.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait, wait &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: So we need more troops now, we needed more troops in the beginning. This president has been presiding over a misguided policy from the beginning because he didn\u2019t execute it properly.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Wait a minute. You said you supported it from the beginning.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Rush, hindsight is 20\/20, okay? If you don\u2019t have enough troops from the beginning, I can\u2019t help you.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Here\u2019s something you people are missing. You\u2019re still exhibiting the classic characteristics of quitters. Okay, 20\/20 hindsight. Okay, might have been a mistaken the way it started, might have been the mistaken the way the mission was first defined, what does that matter? I\u2019ve had this conversation so many times. I was at a golf resort down in Puerto Rico shortly after the invasion took place, liberal came up to me, ?You have to admit that this was ill-conceived.? ?Okay, I\u2019ll grant you, if that will make you happy and start talking about something else, I will say yes, it was ill-conceived, but now what do we do?? Do we pull out because it was ill-conceived? Do we go to the United Nations and say, (crying) ?We\u2019re sorry, it was ill-conceived, and we lied.? What do we do? What do you people want? You want embarrassment for your country? You want shame for the country? Okay, we are there. There is a mission. This is very enlightening, very eye opening to me. This nation\u2019s big problem, one we can add to the list, is there\u2019s a pot load of quitters out there, and they also are in the Democratic Party.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Here is Carl in Redlands, California. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, thank you, Rush. My suggestion, under the circumstances that you\u2019ve been talking about all morning, would be for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney to resign, immediately.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Snerdley, what are you doing to me here? (Laughing.) You really think that\u2019s going to happen, Carl?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019m talking about just as many of the things you talk about never happen, I\u2019m just saying that this would &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No, but my ideas are productive.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: &#8212; course to get the nation back together again.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: You really think so?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, I think so, absolutely.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: For Bush and Cheney to resign?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Why don?t you put it to your audience out there and have them call in and vote?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No, because I don\u2019t do that.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: I\u2019m sure, because you know what the result would be.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No, I don\u2019t care what the result would be. This show is not about what the audience thinks, it\u2019s about what I think. And I think that you?re an idiot.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Let me ask you this, Rush. You think that you\u2019re more intelligent than George Bush?<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Uhhhh, well, that would be hard to say. He\u2019s got a Harvard MBA. He went to Yale. I don\u2019t have those &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: That doesn\u2019t mean anything, you know that.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Oh, really?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: That\u2019s right.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: It doesn\u2019t mean anything when John Kerry has an education, and he\u2019s an idiot, too?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: That\u2019s correct. He is.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, if Bush and Cheney resign, who do you think should be president?<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Anybody out there that has a modicum of intelligence could be president, to be superior to this lamebrain that we have heading our nation.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: (Laughing.)<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: And you\u2019re a supporter of this lamebrain.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, because I know he\u2019s not a lamebrain.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, really? Then you must be worse than he.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, now, that\u2019s clever. That\u2019s clever. You are a regular listener to this program, and you know I\u2019m anything but a lamebrain. You know that I am qualified for Mensa.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Look, Rush, you blow yourself up so much that it\u2019s amazing that you don\u2019t explode or implode.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Oh, I have not blown myself up.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Oh, you always do, in your books, the books that you\u2019ve written, and your daily broadcasts &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Yes.<\/line><BR\/><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/across_the_fruited_plain.Par.0012.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"176\" height=\"368\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CALLER: &#8212; just pumping yourself up as &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: No &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: You are even ahead of the &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Not bragging if you can do it.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Excellence in broadcasting corporation.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Well, it is excellence in broadcasting. I don\u2019t lie about any of this stuff. I\u2019m one of the most humble people you\u2019d ever meet out there, Carl.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Be serious.<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I am being serious. You are making a mistake. It\u2019s really not your fault. Bush has an articulation problem. That doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s an idiot. He is not an idiot. He is not stupid, he\u2019s not dumb, he is not in any way unintelligent.<\/line><BR\/>CALLER: Well, then look at his record &#8212;<\/line><BR\/>RUSH: I think it\u2019s very arrogant and condescending of somebody sitting in Redlands, California, to presume that the president &#8212; you couldn\u2019t do one thing in your life George Bush has done. You couldn\u2019t put up with one day of the abuse George gets from people like you. You couldn\u2019t put up with dealing with the stress and the pressure of doing that job. Look at this economy, look at the state of this country today. It is in great shape. It\u2019s only because people like you don\u2019t want to see it that you ignore it. You are the ones living in an alternative universe, and in the process you are the one blowing yourself up to be something that you aren\u2019t.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: We start in St. Louis.
