Limbaugh Calls for 90-Day Iraq Ceasefire
Rush Limbaugh Show ^ | June14, 2005 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 06/14/2005 8:30:00 PM PDT by Matchett-PI

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Today, I would like to join the chorus of those calling for a cease-fire in Iraq. I don't mean a truce and I don't mean a surrender. Don't misunderstand me. I'm talking about a cease-fire.

I, your host, El Rushbo, on today -- Tuesday, June the 14th -- call for a 90-day cease-fire in Iraq.

I call on the New York Times to lay down their arms. I call on the Democrats in Congress to stop the assaults. I call on weak-kneed Republicans to lower the temperature for 90 days, three measly months.

Lebanon is in the middle of a crucial election sequence. Iran is about to have an even more crucial election. Syrian and Saudi terror backers are losing for signs.

So for 90 days, no attacks on our war effort. Somewhere, deep inside, there has to be something -- a memory of patriotism, a stirring of some national pride -- some remaining sense of right and wrong.

A loose wire in the brains of the left and the media that can be connected if only temporarily, to bring about a 90-day cease-fire because the upside for the United States is enormous.

Positive news, upbeat spirit, a seemingly united United States would send a warning to our enemies, a rallying cry to our allies and a signal to those nations shirking responsibility.

Just a 90-day cease-fire. There's no downside to this. You still have a full-year plus to return to playing politics, to bashing the president, to bashing the administration, bashing the Republican Party, to even bashing America if you want. So much to gain and so little to risk from a 90-day cease-fire.

After all, it could take two years or two decades for the wisdom our Middle East policy to bear fruit. Is it too much to ask you on the left to give unity a chance for just 90 days?

No, my friends, I'm not living in a dream world. I know it won't happen but I wanted to put it out there. I know it won't happen because the left in this country considers Christians to be a greater enemy than militant Islamist terrorists.

"The "left" is giving aid and comfort to our enemy, right along with the MSM."

And right along with some of the losers on this board, too.

BTW! Have you seen Saddam's new look for his upcoming trial?

bullshit! Why give the terrorists a chance to rearm and bring in new troops? Sorry Rush, I saw this happen in RVN too many times. We lost a lot of men because of it.

Thanks, Jan. I appreciate...

And Colonel Ray - I don't think you ever led any Fighting men into battle. You're just a desk-jockey, with NO concept of what it takes to be a soldier. You sound like one of klintoons minions that got his promotions by sucking-a$$.

Stay well, Jan.....................FRegards

Leahy, Biden, Durben, Boxer, Kennedy, Reid, Newsweek, Time, the New York Times, Amnesty International -- if we get hit again - these are the names of the people and organizations we need to look at when we're trying to find out why and how it happened.

I'll send faxes to each one telling them just that.

We might just lose this thing.

The only way we "lose this thing" is if the next president is a democrat. Then God help us and the Iraqi people -- the people of the world, actually.

If you think we're "winning" as the violence increases and more Iraqis get killed, that's okay by me. I'll let the bystanders make up their mind about that definition of "winning."

We've lost 1,700 troops and 12,000 Iraqis to the insurgent terrorist violence, we can't recruit into the military because of it, and people there don't feel like they can live safely. Some "victory."

Oh, alnick.........I'd take this AllThings guy's word over General Franks if I were you.

From his posts, he sounds like he really knows everything about this war, and that Franks guy is kinda stupid.........doncha think? ;o)

Gee..............and Saddam Hussein is in jail......his two heirs are dead..........thousands upon thousands of people are no longer being butchered and thrown in mass graves.........the Iraqis are forming a Constitution and have had a free election...........kids are being educated in schools............the infrastructure is being restored........the Iraqis have said they need us to stay...........and 24 million people are FREE.

Yeah, that's a defeat alright. Those carbombing terrorists from Iran and Syria are winning for sure. Nothing's been accomplished at all.

I'd love to get into the mind of someone who calls himself a conservative and can't see the forest for the trees. What blinds you to the reality of what has happened in Iraq? What does that?

If you were a leftist, I'd understand. You'd be lying because you hate Republicans, mostly President Bush, and you'd say anything to defeat us. But what makes someone on a conservative forum say the exact same thing as a liberal?

I will not bother here because your lack of military knowlege would not allow you to understand

Maybe you should see some of the DD 214s here before making such a claim. For me personally, 2 tours in Viet Nam, 3 years in Germany and 3 in Ft. Bragg after Nam does give me a slight "understanding" of the Military.

We heard some of those "Generals," many who were Wesley Clark types. All these "claims" you make have been pretty much answered by other Generals, ones who actually get out from behind their desks and lead troops, not just shuffle papers.

" I know it won't happen because the left in this country considers Christians to be a greater enemy than militant Islamist terrorists. "

Truer words were never spoken.

My only consolation if the Islamofascists ever take over is that they will saw off the heads of the Hollyweird freaks and liberals first.
