Beck and Rush. These are some real :wow: sers.
Beck: "We went into Iraq three years ago to prevent World War III"
http://mediamatters.org/items/200607250007On the July 24 edition of his CNN Headline News program, host Glenn Beck declared that "
e went into Iraq three years ago to prevent World War III ... to prevent the evil Iranian ideology from spreading across the region." Earlier, he said "the real reason we went into Iraq was Iran." Describing "the reason the administration gave us" -- that Saddam Hussein possessed a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -- as "real" but "just gravy," Beck stated that "President Bush decided to not tell us the real objective" because "we just wouldn't understand that we were in the early stages of World War III."
OKAY think that was some strange? We went to Iraq (now) to prevent WWIII which we are now in.... :wow: Okay I give you 3 paragraphs of Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: … I hate to say this, but you have to trust me. There are people in this White House who would blow you away with their intellect, and the president is one of them if he chose to address you in that way. Why he doesn’t is not because he doesn’t think we can’t understand it or won’t believe it. There’s something else going on here. There is a shadow government out there, Len. There’s a shadow government going on out there that’s doing its best to sabotage everything that we’re doing. The one mistake that Bush — well, the one mistake — one of the mistakes Bush made was the new tone, when he assumed office. He didn’t clean out the Clintonoids in some of these positions at the Pentagon and at the State Department, and the CIA, and they’ve been free to leak all this gobbledygook war plans and what have you.
Bush was trying to show that it was going to be a new Washington. We’re going to stop all this partisans infighting here. We’re going to come together as a country and get along, and once again it was it was well-intentioned but naïve. The liberals don’t want to get along with people, they want power — and they will sabotage whoever has it in order to get it back themselves. This has led us to fighting what I call a minimalist war in Iraq — and I think this is something that probably is bothering a lot of people, may be bothering Mr. Buckley, for all I know. The idea that we can’t take care of this in three and a half years is what’s astounding to people, and they’re right. We could. We could take care of this much sooner than we have.
But we’re fighting under different rules. It’s witnessable here in the way that Israel and Hezbollah are going at it. You know, it’s the old saw. You can say there are a number of reasons for it. Well, the media’s on scene every day showing the civilian casualties and showing the results of the military action, and that’s going to temper people because the world is going to say, "Stop it! Stop it! Stop this killing! Enough violence, enough is enough!" It was easier in the old days when nobody saw this stuff. Nobody saw 92,000 battle fatalities in the Pacific theater in World War II, and nobody saw the million and a half Japanese deaths so it was easier to do. It’s a different set of circumstances today, and it results in the United States and its allies not using the full force of the power that we are able to project in order to appease. You get caught up and worried about what other people think of you and world opinion and so forth and you’re going to get hamstrung, and we’re hamstrung, precisely where we are.
