ONE OF THE REASONS THE TURKS TOOK
OFF INITIALLY A LONG TIME AGO IS THAT WE WERE SAYING THINGS OTHER
PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA WEREN'T.
FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE SAYING DON'T GO
TO WAR IN IRAQ.
YES WE ARE THAT OLD, WE STARTED IN 2002, WE WERE
ON THE AIR AND WE WERE AS FAR AS I CAN TELL ONE OF ONLY TWO SHOWS
NATIONALLY THAT WERE SAYING NO, IT'S A BAD IDEA.
THE OTHER ONE
BY THE WAY WAS DEMOCRACY NOW WITH THE LEGENDARY AMY GOODMAN.
AT THE TIME WE WERE DERIDED AND RIDICULED, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO
GO TO WAR WITH IRAQ?
IT'S A LAYUP, IT'S SO EASY.
AND BY THE
WAY TO BE FAIR LIKE PEOPLE TO PHIL DONAHUE AND JESSE VENTURA,
THEY WERE ALL AGAINST THE WAR AND THAT'S WHY THEY WERE TAKEN
OFF THE AIR ON MSNBC.
THEY WERE A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS.
APPARENTLY WE WERE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ISSUE SO THOROUGHLY
THAT GLENN BECK LATER APOLOGIZED KIND OF FOR BEING ON THE SIDE OF
THE WAR, NOW RUSH LIMBAUGH, WRAPPED UP IN A BACKWARDS
CONSPIRACY THEORY.
IT EVEN BEATS ALEX JONES'S HUMAN HYBRID THEORY
THAT ARE 80% PIG AND 80% GORILLA.
IT TURNS OUT THE IRAQ
WAR WAS NOT A REPUBLICAN IDEA, IT WAS NOT POOR GEORGE W. BUSH'S
IDEA, IT WAS AN IDEA HATCHED BY THE DEEP STATE BECAUSE IT WAS SO
OBVIOUS IT WOULD BE A HUGE FAILURE.
IT WASN'T SO OBVIOUS TO
RUSH BACK THEN.
LET ME LET HIM PRESENT THE THEORY AND WE WILL BREAK IT
DOWN.
>>REMEMBER WHAT THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TOLD US
FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ?
REMEMBER WHAT THEY WERE TELLING US?
THERE WAS
DETAIL.
THERE WERE PHOTOS.
THERE WAS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT
SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
COLIN POWELL
NOW SAYS THAT THE MOST EMBARRASSING PERIOD OF HIS LIFE
BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT NONE OF IT WAS TRUE.
WHAT IF THE INTEL ON
THE WAR IN IRAQ WAS ANOTHER DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN TO
DAMAGE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT?
AND BOY, DID THAT
WORK.
JUST WHAT IF THE QUOTE UNQUOTE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
MISREPRESENTED ON PURPOSE THE DEGREE TO WHICH SADDAM HUSSEIN
HAD WMDs.
>>ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, THE GUY WHO PUSHED
FOR THE IRAQ WAR OVER AND OVER, EVERY DAY -- I MEAN, RUSH
LIMBAUGH PUT ON AN OUTFIT AND BROUGHT POM-POMS INTO WORK AND
CHEERLEADED FOR THAT WAR MORE THAN ALMOST ANYONE IN THE
COUNTRY.
OH, THEY HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRACTION, THEY ARE
CONNECTED TO 9/11 -- NOW, WE KNEW AT THE TIME THEY WEREN'T
CONNECTED TO 9/11, WE KNEW AT THE TIME RUSH LIMBAUGH WAS
LYING, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION WE WERE UNSURE
ABOUT, NONETHELESS RUSH LIMBAUGH PUSHED IT AND PUSHED IT.
AND HE
TOLD US IN 2004 AFTER THE WAR WAS ALREADY A DEBACLE, HE SAID
YOU HAVE TO REELECT BUSH, HE'S THE GENIUS WHO BROUGHT US INTO
IRAQ.
AND NOW AFTER THIS TIME, THIS IS FASCINATING ON TWO
GROUNDS.
ONE, AN ADMISSION THAT THE WAR WAS SUCH A DEBACLE, YOU
HAVE TO BLAME SOMEONE ELSE.
IN FACT, IT WAS THE DEEP STATE'S
PLAN TO EMBARRASS BUSH BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE IRAQ WAR WAS
DEEPLY EMBARRASSING, JUST LIKE WE TOLD YOU.
HE'S NOT DONE YET.
WE'LL GET TO THE SECOND PART, YOU GO.
>>WE KNOW HOW THE DEEP STATE HAS BEEN TRYING TO UNDERMINE DONALD
TRUMP FROM THE DAYS HE WAS A CANDIDATE TO DURING HIS
TRANSITION TO EVEN ONGOING NOW AS PRESIDENT, WE'RE LEARNING OF
STRZOK AND THE FBI AND THE HILLARY OPPOSITION RESEARCH
DOSSIER, THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN BECOMING FODDER IN THE FISA
COURT TO SPY ON TRUMP, WE KNOW THE DEEP STATE CAN MOBILIZE AND
CREATE FALSE NARRATIVES THAT EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA BELIEVES,
AND EVEN HAVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR A YEAR BELIEVING THAT
TRUMP CONSPIRED WITH RUSSIA MAY BE TO STEAL THE ELECTION.
WHAT
IF SADDAM, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, WAS ALSO A FALSE
NARRATIVE?
SO, I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S ALL DEEP STATE, IT'S ALL
STUFF HAPPENING WAY BEYOND WHATEVER OUR EYES CAN SEE IN OUR
EARS CAN HEAR.
>>THE DEEP STATE IS THE NEW "THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK."
YOU HAVE
ANY PROBLEMS?
DEEP STATE.
IRAQ WAR?
WERE REPUBLICANS IN FAVOR
OF THAT, DID BUSH AND CHENEY PUSH FOR IT MANIACALLY, DID RUSH
LIMBAUGH AND FOX NEWS PUSH FOR IT?
NO, IT WAS THE DEEP STATE.
THEY HOODWINKED US.
I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN AGAINST THE IRAQ
WAR IF IT WASN'T FOR THOSE DASTARDLY DEEP STATE GUYS.
AND
THEY TRICKED US WITH THEIR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
OH,
FOR HOW MANY DECADES DID YOU SUPPORT WEAPONS OF MASS
DESTRUCTION, EVEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT THERE WEREN'T ANY?
HE WENT
ON THE AIR EVEN AFTER ALL THE REPORTS CAME OUT THAT THERE
WEREN'T ANY, HE SAID THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY TRUE, I HEARD THEY
BROUGHT THE WEAPONS TO SYRIA.
IT TURNS OUT YOU WERE LYING THEN
TOO, RUSH.
RIGHT?
DID I CHEAT ON MY WIFE?
DEEP STATE.
DID MY DOG
POOP IN YOUR YARD?
IT WAS THE DEEP STATE.
NOW TO BLAME THE
IRAQ WAR ON THE DEEP STATE, THAT IS UNREAL.
LOOK, I'M NOT SAYING
THAT THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES WEREN'T PART OF THE PROBLEM,
THEY WERE.
BUT I WAS THERE.
DICK CHENEY, WE COVERED ON THE SHOW
EVERY DAY, DICK CHENEY PUSHED THOSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OVER
AND OVER AGAIN TO GET TO THE CONCLUSION HE WANTED.
WHENEVER
THEY GAVE HIM A CONCLUSION HE DIDN'T LIKE THEY BURIED IT.
AND
BY THE WAY THE MEDIA WAS COMPLICIT, THERE WERE A TON OF
PEOPLE COMPLICIT IN THE IRAQ WAR, INCLUDING THE
ESTABLISHMENT, A LOT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, DEMOCRATS,
HILLARY CLINTON, YOU NAME IT, ALL THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR
IT, THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES WHO TOLD US IT WAS A SLAMDUNK --
BUT WAS IT THE DEEP STATE TRYING TO TRICK A REPUBLICAN TO GO TO
WAR?
PAUSE THERE FOR A SECOND, THAT'S HILARIOUS.
TO TRY TO
TRICK THE POOR REPUBLICANS INTO GOING INTO A WAR THEY WOULDN'T
HAVE OTHERWISE GONE INTO, JUST SO THEY COULD MAKE SURE THEY
WERE EMBARRASSED BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE WAR WOULD BE A
DISASTER?
WHO WOULD BE MONUMENTALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO
BELIEVE THAT?
NO ONE.
SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS, RUSH LIMBAUGH,
THANK YOU FOR THAT ADMISSION THAT YOU WERE WRONG ALONG.
THE
IRAQ WAR WAS A DISASTER, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF WEAPONS OF
MASS DISTRACTION, THERE WAS NO LINK TO 9/11, AND IT TURNED INTO
AN EMBARRASSING DEBACLE THAT LANDED ON TOP OF BUSH'S HEAD AND
YOUR HEAD, AND YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO BLAME THE DEEP STATE
NOW IS NOTED, AND YES, WE WOULD PREFER AN APOLOGY AND THAT YOU
MAN UP AND ACTUALLY ADMIT TO THE THINGS THAT YOU DID WRONG.
BUT
BARRING THAT, WE SEE VERY CLEARLY HERE THAT YOU REALIZE
NOW THAT AS USUAL, YOU WERE WRONG.
YOU WERE A LOSER.
AND NOW
YOU WOULD LIKE TO BLAME YOUR PROBLEMS ON OTHER PEOPLE.
THAT'S
ALSO PAR FOR
THE COURSE.
