Rush Limbaugh didn't let the fact that the Obama administration didn't support the release of the Lockerbie bomber get in the way of spending a lot of time explaining his theory for why they did support the release. According to Limbaugh, the administration “backed the release” because they wanted to “make nice with the Muslim world.”

Moving on to the recent leak of classified information about the Afghanistan war by Wikileaks, Limbaugh tried to connect the leak to his theory that the Obama administration sought to keep in the place rules of engagement that put a higher priority on minimizing civilian casualties. Limbaugh then went into detail explaining his view that the modern U.S. military is unable to fight wars fully because “in the old days, the definition of winning a war was killing people.” He spoke about this idea for some time, citing Gen. William Sherman's march to Atlanta, the firebombing of Dresden, and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as incidents where civilian casualties had been necessary to achieve victory in war (he didn't discuss the advances in technology made since the cited incidents, however.)

Despite the errors on his program today, Limbaugh claimed that he operates “flawlessly” and has “zero mistakes.”
