Putin Bombs Our Allies in Syria
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | September 30, 2015 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: Now, Syria. Let me see if I can make sense of this for you. 'Cause what's happening in Syria, based on what we learned yesterday about Putin -- and what he said to the UN about us abandoning our role, our moral leadership there -- as best I have been able to assemble this, here is what's happening. Over the past few weeks we have learned that Russia is sending military planes and soldiers to Syria. We didn't like it. When asked about it by the United States, Russia said, "Mind your own business; it's none of your business. What are you gonna do about it?"

They, of course, knew we were gonna do nothing about it. Then at the UN Vladimir Putin announced that Russia was gonna take the lead in fighting ISIS because we had given up, essentially. The Western world had decided it wasn't worth it, it wasn't worth the risk, that we had abandoned our moral leadership. Putin at the UN says, "Do you realize what you've done?" So he decided to swoop in and single-handedly take the lead in fighting ISIS, which Obama still will not refer to as a terrorist or Islamic extremist group.

Now, that was supposed to explain Russia's military presence in Syria, that Putin was taking three-day in fighting ISIS. That is a key point in understanding what's going on here. Our secretary of state (who once served in Vietnam) John Kerry -- Jean-Francois Kerry -- and Obama said they were open to the idea of Russia -- and, by proxy, Iran -- joining the fight against ISIS. Now, in Putin's mind, we haven't joined anything; we are abandoning it. This is also key to understand. In Putin's mind, what he said yesterday at the UN, we have essentially checked out of the hotel.

And they've checked in, and they are single-handedly fighting ISIS. So Kerry, in a face-saving move, goes out and says, "We are open, of course," as though we're still the world's lone superpower, which we aren't because Kerry and Obama don't even want to be. Kerry goes out and says with his "superpower secretary of state" attitude that we're perfectly fine. We're open to the idea of Russia and Iran joining the fight against ISIS, when in truth we have abandoned it. Last night there were reports that Russia had warned us to get all of our planes out of Syrian airspace because they were going to mount an attack.

Now, I don't know how it is in this administration, but any previous administration, if a Soviet leader had called and warned us to get out of Syrian airspace, we would have had some choice words for the Soviet leader, and we would have told him, "You don't dare launch your aircraft or else." But we're not dealing with administrations like we've had in the past. Putin (essentially Russia) warns us to get all of our planes out of Syrian airspace. We scoffed at the warning. This morning there were reports that Russia had indeed conducted its first bombing mission.

You don’t get it. Our allies in Syria are ISIS. They are the ones that Assad is fighting. ISIS is the ones that we are training and sending weapons to. Putin is the only one who wants to fight them.

Reading that, it seemed to me that Rush was actually referring to Isis as Obama’s “allies”

The Russians should have learned from their failed 10-year escapade in Afghanistan.

I agree. Knowing Rush, he was being facetious.

He did say he was training them.WH later had to say his misspoke. Not sure how he misspoke. Was he suppose to say he was NOT training them and forgot the Not. It wouldn’t have made sense.

It’s a good thing, since Odumbo’s allies are truly the enemy.

“The Russians should have learned from their failed 10-year escapade in Afghanistan.”

Perhaps they have. I hope so. Someone needs to exterminate these NWO jihadis.

I read Putin as a measure twice, cut once kind of guy.

Our “allies” in Syria? Or President Valarie Jarrett’s “allies” in Syria? There is a huge difference.

I want to know who is going to wipe Boko Haram off the map.


Bishop Oliver Dashe Doeme says he is being driven by a God-given mandate to lead others in praying the rosary until the extremist group disappears.

“Towards the end of last year I was in my chapel before the Blessed Sacrament… praying the rosary, and then suddenly the Lord appeared,” Bishop Dashe told CNA April 18.

In the vision, the prelate said, Jesus didn’t say anything at first, but extended a sword toward him, and he in turn reached out for it.

“As soon as I received the sword, it turned into a rosary,” the bishop said, adding that Jesus then told him three times: “Boko Haram is gone.”

“I didn’t need any prophet to give me the explanation,” he said. “It was clear that with the rosary we would be able to expel Boko Haram.”

The bishop said he didn’t want to tell anyone, but “felt that the Holy Spirit was pushing him to do so.”

Looks like nobody wants to shake Obama's hand, least of all, Putin.

Well, that is sweet enough I guess but...uh...I think we need real tough guys taking them out, putting their genuine swords and other weapons to good use.

A time for everything under heave. Kill Boko Haram or be killed by them.

It’s true, not many trust [or believe in] apparitions, and yet.... there have been battles won by those who have recited the rosary...

Battle of Lepanto

On October 7, 1571, a great victory over the mighty Turkish fleet was won by Catholic naval forces primarily from Spain, Venice, and Genoa under the command of Don Juan of Austria. It was the last battle at sea between “oared” ships, which featured the most powerful navy in the world, a Moslem force with between 12,000 to 15,000 Christian slaves as rowers. The patchwork team of Catholic ships was powered by the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Rush keeps referring to 'moderate rebels'. Why is that name now created, and who the hell are they that we want to go out on the limb for?

Rush has been sucked into de facto supporting Obama's support of Islamitizing the western world.

Putin is not that stupid.
