BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: All right. So here's the deal. Last week, Obama reverses himself and says that he's not gonna go into Syria. Remember, they're using nerve gas. John Kerry goes out there, 1,500 people, 2,400 people, a lot of kids, nerve gas, sarin gas, got the proof. Look, I'm gonna get into all the hypocrisy. Yes, Kerry dining with Bashar back in 2009 and talking about what a great guy Bashar was. The bottom line is this administration is as incompetent as Jimmy Carter. There's only one difference. If there were anybody else running this administration right now, this would be reported as incompetent and as buffoonish and as frightening at Jimmy Carter's.

This is Jimmy Carter's second term here. This is absolutely frightening what's happening here. Obama with this inadvertent, trying to make himself look like a tough guy, red line comment this past summer. Well, the Syrians crossed the red line, so Obama's obligated. And late in the week last week, he said, "You know what? I'm gonna go get congressional authority," after maintaining he didn't need it, maintaining he didn't want it, maintaining he's gonna be a tough guy, gonna act alone. He's gonna save the people of Syria. He's gonna make sure this Bashar guy gets what's coming to him.

Then all of a sudden he switches gears we're told after a walk Friday night on the White House grounds. Yes. He decided he's gonna use congressional authority. He's gonna go to Congress. Now, when this announcement was made -- 'cause this had been discussed. I mean, the idea of congressional authority for use-of-force authorization had been discussed. There had been test votes taken by virtue of interview. At the time, there was no way Congress was gonna authorize it. Didn't stand a prayer, which Obama knew, which the point was to blame Republicans. It was the Limbaugh Theorem in play. Obama forget about it essentially. The plan was change direction, reverse field, announce that he's gonna go to Congress to get a use-of-force authorization, and then when the Republicans don't give it to him, blame them for dead Syrians.

That was the plan. It still may be the plan. Blame the Republicans, the Limbaugh Theorem, a new strain of it. I get into arguments with people about this who still do not understand that no matter what the issue, no matter what day of the week, the either number one or number two objective in the world of Barack Obama is the elimination of any opposition. You cannot take the 2014 midterm elections out of this equation. You cannot remove from this equation just how desperate the Democrats are to win the House in 2014. Anything that can be done to blame the Republicans.

When you have a slavish media on your side, you've huffed and you've puffed and you announce the red line and you draw the red line and you talk about how horrible it is that anybody would use nerve gas on their own people, except Saddam. When Saddam does it, it isn't a big deal. John Kerry goes out there on Friday, cites intelligence sources, telling what happened. Well, we can't believe intelligence sources. These guys told us back in 2002, 2003, Kerry, Obama, Hillary, they all told us, intel lies, Cheney made it up. So now we're being asked to believe the very institutions these people have destroyed. They did their best to destroy the CIA's reputation and MI6 in the UK, and any other group that did intel, any other nation around the world.

Anyway, the change of direction. I don't know, cowardly, politics. Blame the Republicans for it. Roll the dice that they won't grant you the use-of-force authorization. Okay, what happens if they do? If they do then you're home free. You can't lose either way here, politically. It's not about the people of Syria. It's about Barack Obama. Everything's always about Barack Obama. I got another media montage that I have coming up for you in due course here. Washington media spent the Labor Day weekend wringing their hands, a little bit upset. The elitists spending their last weekend of the summer in the Hamptons were worried, Obama looked like an idiot here.
