It’s Not About Us; This Is War!

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

.........==================snip

CALLER: Rush if you were in the military and you were
ordered to interrogate someone even though it was
an in-depth interrogation, you would do your job
in a business-like manner.
And I think most people would, do a difficult job
that they didn't want to do, in a business-like manner.

These people had a job to do,
but they were taking pleasure in it.

There's something psychologically wrong with that.

It's not the act so much.
It was like a college fraternity prank
that stack up naked men --


RUSH: "Exactly. Exactly my point!
This is no different than what happens at the
skull and bones initiation and we're going to
ruin people's lives over it and we're going to
hamper our military effort, and then we are
going to really hammer them because they had
a good time.

"You know, these people are being fired at every
day. I'm talking about people having a good time,
these people. You ever heard of emotional release?
You ever heard of need to blow some steam off?
These people are the enemy."

========

...so why not torture and humiliate them????

Gee, and I thought we were there to bring them
freedom, justice, and democracy, show them American
values and give them back their self-esteme,
and rescue them from Saddam's "rape rooms."
So much for that myth. Gee, I wonder how that one
got started?

Pioneer Limbaugh Takes the Abu Ghraib Arrows
MAy 14, 2004

Listen to Rush…

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: [...snip...] "He asked me, "Will you take calls
about your Skull and Bones comment?" Of course.
Here's what I did. Those comments were made on the
4th of May, when the first two or three pictures came out.
I went and got the transcript of that show yesterday
and I sent it to all these people who -- oh, not that many.

I sent it to enough people who have been raising
hell about it. Tim Russert even asked for a transcript.
I sent him one, because Larry King, a bunch of people
have been trying to get Russert to dump on me about
that Skull and Bones comment. He wouldn't do it
because he didn't believe it, but he hadn't heard it,
so he just finessed it.

So I sent it to him. It's all trumped up."
