Rush Reports Thomas Sowell's Biggest Fear: Iran Nukes US, Obama Surrenders
The Rush Limbaugh Show | Dec. 10, 2014 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 12/10/2014 9:40:16 AM PST by duckworth

Just before his 1 pm break, El Rushbo reported on an interview he had yesterday with Thomas Sowell, economist, social theorist, political philosopher and author. Sowell told Rush that his biggest fear is that Iran becomes a nuclear power, and attacks the US in some capacity. Sowell believes if Obama is president at the time, he will just surrender to Iran. Stunned, Rush questioned Sowell, who pointed out it only took two bombs for Japan to surrender to the US.

After the music stops, even for 2 weeks, it will be hard to avoid an Alas, Brave New Babylon type of outcome.

The Benghazi 9-11-2012 event carries some instruction about the NCA etc in times of crisis.

During the ongoing “Alamo” in Benghazi, Obama deliberately hid from dusk til dawn in order NOT to be put on the spot to either grant or withhold Cross-Border Authority (or whatever the current acronym/jargon is).

With Obama the Drone King, and the national security staff ballooning from 40 to 400, they are acutely aware of POTUS regs, protocals, etc. How many times have we read or heard about missions ready to launch that were scrubbed or delayed for days/weeks because POTUS would not grant CBA?

And when he does, almost always, the hostage is moved, or ISIS has moved, etc. “Gee, it’s almost like he is trying to help the other side.”

In any case, he sure knew that if he just hid on Benghazi night, no CBA from POTUS down the NCA, there would be zero chance of a “Black Hawk Down” fiasco/disaster/tragedy 2 weeks before the election. Better to write off “My Friend Chirs” and the other Americans on scene. A small price. They even had the standard “Team Obama False Narrative” videotape in the cabinet ready to deploy. “Look over there! Squirrel! We had nothing to do with it!”

Long winded, sorry. Obama broke with the BIGGEST BIGGEST on the hour crisis decision that ANY American fighting man would do. There is an ALAMO RIGHT NOW and we are going in heavy to rescue them! The battle lasted 10 hours, 9 hours in, it might have lasted 48 hours. Nobody knew. It could have been Americans cornered in an airport building, who knows? Y

You send the Marines. And anybody else in range. “GO!!!”

And Obama hid, to avoid giving CBA. This is really, really, dishonorable. AMERICANS ARE DYING RIGHT NOW! GIVE US PERMISSION!”

But when no CBA came, all the rescue forces held in position. No mythical General Ham sad, “Screw it! We’re going in!” And sent his rescue forces. He didn’t. None of them did.

They obeyed orders, at least. That’s not the same as obeying orders to nuke Canada, but letting Americans in an Alamo die, that’s pretty bad.

Very, very true. That statement became true on Jan 20, 2009

“that’s pretty bad.”

They’ve done worse. It is amazing how political O-6 and above can be. When I hear people wave the flag and proclaim our military will save us in a civil war, I know for fact from history they will not. They will accept their orders or walk away.

Walk away at best. I don’t see any Hackworth’s among this crowd.

Petreuas or possibly Hagel could blow the lid off of this traitor mole regime.

Is there one man with stars (including SES) on his shoulders who has honor?

It’s not honorable at this point to defer and retire and go away quietly.

General Petreaus, where is your book?

Are millions for sitting on do-nothing boards worth the price of your last shred of honor?

Obama doesn’t have the authority to surrender. A surrender is a treaty, and the Senate has to ratify all treaties.

General BetrayUs has no honor. Never did. He thinks with his penis. Satisfy that and he’s happy man.

Surrendering to any foreign power would be high treason. The military would undoubtedly send troops to Camp David or wherever he was hiding out, and with a little luck he’d end up “accidentally” dead. Or tried by a military court and shot.

I like to think that old embers of honor can be fanned into a flame.

Since the school shooting in Beslan, I've been thinking that would be a more easily carried-out assault than a nuclear one. Consider, across the nation, scores of similar school assaults occurring almost simultaneously - in every state. All of a sudden, America's schools are ghost buildings and parents of young children immediately stay home to care for and to protect their families. What would become of commerce in America then?

It would disrupt commerce for about a week, until most of the Muslim population was either dead, imprisoned or shipped off to their middle east hellholes.

Those “mosques” are nothing but terrorist headquarters, each communicating with the other.

HQs and armories.

It’s a good read if you like speculative fiction.

Comrade obama is more likely to order a first strike on the United States himself in exchange for political asylum in Iran. That would save Iran a lot of money for the expense of warheads and delivery systems as well as the potential embarrassment of using nuclear devices that don’t work or are damaged in transit.

An interesting fantasy, which is all Sowell was really trying to advance, IMHO. What would actually happen is this: "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve." Remember that? Yamamoto knew what he was talking about.

We can fantasize, though. Iran takes out two cities? Let's recall what happened to the fellows who took out two buildings and how long we persevered, and the rivers of blood we waded through, to find and punish those responsible. That's what would happen, and that part isn't a fantasy.

There would be, because there already is, a significant movement in the United States to demand surrender under the insistence that we deserved it. A movement that would last for the few weeks it would take to put the entire sorry lot up against the wall. The country might, actually, be the better for it. Those are dark fantasies and it would be better not to go there.

It is hard nowadays to appreciate and have the patience for watching movies in Black & White. The fact that they are not sophisticated with great visual effects makes the viewer work harder at comprehending the meaning of the film. The book was great, the 1962 film was great but, as we look at it now, dated.
Enjoy whatever version you like but the facts or possible facts remain, the President may be the Manchurian Candidate after all. Just look at his record and is positions...
