Rush on the hostages yesterday:

RUSH: Well, Winston Churchill is having a scotch in his grave right now asking the question: "How did 15 British sailors and Marines give up without firing a shot?" Churchill probably cannot believe this. You know, they pretty mothballed their navy. Great Britain, I'll tell you, it's gone PC in ways you wouldn't believe. If you people haven't heard, this I want you to sit down. This is from the UK Daily Mail: "Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils," according to a government study. The study "found that some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity of the Holocaust for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. There is also resistance to tackling the Eleventh Century crusades where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques. The findings have prompted claims that some schools are using histories as a vehicle for promoting political correctness."

Political correctness? It's worse than that! The Brits are not teaching the Holocaust because there are Muslim students in there who are Holocaust deniers, and they don't want them to be offended! They're worried that they're going to start blowing up the schools or something, I guess. (interruption) Yes, there is a "consensus" on the Holocaust, but the Brits are willing to say, "To hell with consensus." The Holocaust is not "consensus." It's fact. Look, you wonder what's happened to the Brits? It's political correctness is running amok, and "conflict resolution." Does anybody think that 15 United States Marines would just sit there and allow themselves to be taken when they had not invaded Iranian waters and then in two days, start apologizing on Iranian TV? Do you think 15 United States Marines would do this?

No.

Way.

Semper fi. No way. But all you have to know is the story I just told you. They're not teaching the Holocaust might offend Muslim students who don't believe it.

Thank God there wasn't a "D" in the Whitehouse!

Count on more hostage taking if Hillary or Obama become President!

Bow to your Dominator !


The typical 3 steps in 2 weeks : Kidnapping - Stockholm syndrome - Conversion.
I would not be surprised, in 6 month from now, that some of the british converted to Islam. This might be the classic example what some people warn us about. In 2 weeks time laps, we saw what might take 20 years for a country. The slow Conversion of the western world to Islam. And on the end we will say : Thank you, and we will joke with our new masters, and thanking them for not cutting off our head for some benign misbehavior.

I think that Ahmadinejad got bored with his captives and let them go, like a cat that gets bored with a mouse. Of course the arrival of the U.S.S. Nimitz battle group in the Persian gulf may have shifted his attention

‘”Throughout, we have taken a measured approach, firm but calm, not negotiating but not confronting, either.” ‘

That’s because we (US) saved your bloomin’ arse. Again.
The Nimitz is heading for battle formation in the P. Gulf. And President Tom & the mullahs know it.

Teddy Roosevelt’s “speak softly” fell to Tony Blair, and W’s Nimitz was the Big Stick. Jeez. All this so Pres. Tom can “save face” while he proclaims to the world how he wore down the Brits.

Next time, Tony, go beg the EU to save your people.
