RUSH: Frank in Trenton, New Jersey. I'm glad you called, sir. You're next on the program. Hello.
CALLER: Hey Rush I wonder how much zinc is in the car batteries in the Prius.
RUSH: That's true. (laughing) That's a good point.
CALLER: You cited a 2001 quote from The Messiah and my teleprompter has a question. The Messiah said that a key lesson learned from 9/11 is that it's incumbent upon us, the US, to provide hope for the children of the Middle East. So what's your opinion as to whether President Bush's war effort to liberate Afghanistan and Iraq from their oppressive, hate-generating regimes? Does not provide that kind of hope?
RUSH: I always thought it did, and I think ultimately people of Afghanistan and Iraq thought so. They eventually joined with us. Remember, now, this is... Nobody dare say what I'm going to say. But Obama talking about how it's incumbent upon the US to provide hope for the children of the Middle East? Many children of the Middle East are having explosives strapped on them by their parents and sent onto buses. It is not the United States that is killing them or destroying their hope. It is their own culture. But we dare not say that. So don't tell anybody out there, Frank, that I said that.
CALLER: I'll keep it to myself, sir.
RUSH: Yeah. Thanks. I appreciate that. You gotta be very careful about what you say and who hears it out there. But hope? Middle Eastern children being raised to become martyrs, to have themselves killed? Hope for Middle Eastern children? Obama says it's up to us?
