For starters today, Rush posted the following item on Facebook which I’m sure made his day, if not his whole year: “YouGov.com polled the most admired people in America and in the world. They did this in 13 countries that have more than half of the world's population. In America, in last place at number 10, was Hillary Clinton. Number nine was your host, me.”

 

Aside from Limbaugh, the former president's wife got another bit of bad news when, according to Chris Stirewalt of Fox News on-line, newly released declassified testimony about the attacks in Benghazi state that: “Minutes after the American consulate in Benghazi came under assault on Sept. 11, 2012, the nation’s top civilian and uniformed defense officials -- headed for a previously scheduled Oval Office session with President Obama -- were informed that the event was a ‘terrorist attack,’ declassified documents show.”

 

This could bode ill for Bill’s wife because it will likely spur her opposition to find new ways to promote her now famous loss of her cool when she screamed in a Senate hearing, “With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?”

 

Well, the point is, as Secretary of State she was supposed to know exactly what happened. And, as a matter of fact she did, but didn’t seem to admit it, likely holding the administration's line of distorting the story for political purposes. 

 

However, whether it's Hillary or the incumbent, foreign affairs don’t seem to be their forte, because after giving away our hard fought gains in Iraq, we now appear to paving the way for Iran to take over control of the Middle-East.

 

Paul Richter of latimes.com/world/worldnow via Drudge, writes today that, “Iran’s chief negotiator Abbas Araqchi disclosed the existence of [a] document in a Persian-language interview with the semiofficial Iranian Students News Agency.

 

In his interview, Araqchi touched on the sensitive issue of how much latitude Iran will have to continue its nuclear research and development.

 

U.S. officials said Sunday that Iran would be allowed to continue existing research and development projects and with pencil-and-paper design work, but not to advance research with new projects. Araqchi, however, implied that the program would have wide latitude.”

 

Araqchi concluded that, “No facility will be closed; enrichment will continue, and qualitative and nuclear research will be expanded. All research into a new generation of centrifuges will continue.”

 

All of which means, that unless you’re dumb enough to buy a bridge  from a guy claiming to  own one connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn, Iran will keep developing their nuclear arsenal.

 

And if that wasn’t enough, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani “has praised a landmark nuclear deal struck in Geneva as his country's victory, telling a home crowd it effectively means the "surrender" of Western powers to Iranian demands.”

 

So, with all due respect to the former president's wife, when you consider the military gains made by hostile Middle-Eastern nations and their threat to their region and likely the entire world, understanding precisely what goes on every moment, everywhere all the time makes a huge “difference” in global security. 

 

But, when just like her former boss, she has no experience or real credentials either, her frustrated outbursts against well-earned criticism are par for the course.

 

That’s it for today folks.
