Harry Smith said, &#8216;When you were in Muscatine a week and a half or so ago, right, and said, I\u2019ve always been against this, speaking about the Iraq war, I did a little Googling last night, and the best I could tell was you said the weapons inspectors should be allowed to do their jobs.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/01125112.Par.89380.ImageFile.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"183\" class=\"alignright\"\/>CLINTON: Look, I said something like that a hundred times. I supported threatening Saddam so we could do the inspections. The mistake we made was not letting the inspections finish. If they had, there would have been no war. And I was always against doing it without the inspections. As you pointed out, most of my speeches weren\u2019t getting covered by the press and we didn\u2019t copy them or anything back then. But we do have several records, including one six days before the invasion, where I said, I don\u2019t think they should do this until the inspections finished. That was the deal. And, if we\u2019d done it, there would have been no war.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: He\u2019s lying again! Didn\u2019t keep his speeches? Well, we did. We have what Clinton said. He wasn\u2019t against the war as he\u2019s trying to say. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s go back to February 17th, 1998. He was president, and this is from his address to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Pentagon staff. He said, &#8216;If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear: We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq\u2019s weapons of mass destruction program. We have to defend our future from these predators of the twenty-first century. They\u2019ll be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein. <\/p>\n<p>Bill Clinton, New York Daily News, April 16th, 2003. &#8221;Saddam is gone, and good riddance,\u2019 former President Clinton said yesterday. Clinton also said Bush should not be faulted if banned weapons of mass destruction aren\u2019t found. Said the president, &#8216;I don\u2019t think you can criticize the president for trying to act on the belief that they have a substantial amount of chemical and biological stock. That is what I was always told.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>May 18th, 2003, at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi, during commencement address. &#8216;I supported the president when he asked the Congress for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.\u2019 My question is, Harry Smith, what the hell are you doing? You can\u2019t find these things? All you could find is something Clinton said about inspectors? We\u2019re doing the job the mainstream media should be doing. <\/p>\n<p>TIME Magazine, Bill Clinton, June 28th, 2004. &#8216;So you\u2019re sitting there as president, you\u2019re reeling in the aftermath of 9\/11, so, yeah, you want to go get Bin Laden and do Afghanistan and all that, but you also have to say, well, my first responsibility now is to try everything possible to make sure that this terrorist network and other terrorist networks cannot reach chemical and biological weapons or small amounts of fissile material. I gotta do that. That\u2019s why I supported the Iraq thing.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>He just got away with lying again on the CBS Early Show because their researchers couldn\u2019t find anything other than Clinton talking about weapons inspectors when they Googled. I find it just breathtaking, folks, I do, at how incompetent the Drive-By Media is. They can\u2019t do anything right, and they don\u2019t want to. They don\u2019t want to get it right where the Clintons are concerned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Back to the audio sound bites.
