Rush Limbaugh, in response to Gore's speech said the following:
I guess those naked pyramids are just not in the national interest to Algore. (Laughing and laughing.) Okay. Well, you know, here's the thing, folks. Algore, this whole speech, he went nuts. He's flailing around wildly there. Not just me, he's attacking everybody who has led the nation through 9/11, the war on terrorism, and he's making statements that are flat out lies in this speech. For example, the Geneva Conventions. I don't know how many of you know this, the Geneva Conventions do not protect terrorists. (PTI: Interrogation of Ultras Not Regulated Under Geneva) They protect soldiers who serve under a nation who wear uniforms who carry their weapons openly, and with the kind of threat that we're facing today with terrorist cells in the U.S. plotting an even bigger attack than 9/11.
What really troubles me about these photos, above and beyond what's in them, is how they're being used to undermine our war effort. Now we have the former vice president, a man who was thisclose to becoming president of the United States, speak out in this speech.
Maybe Rush doesn't realize this... but the Iraqi prisoners are Iraqi! Some of them, according to the Red Cross 70-90%, were arrested despite the fact that they are completely innocent of any wrongdoing.
Then he says: I speak for more of this nation than Algore does ...
Wow. Even in 2000, Al Gore spoke for more people than Bush did... and times have changed.
