My memory of the quote in question is that he was stating that this war will cost "a lot" of American blood; that we will have to see as many Americans die as Iraqis due to our unjust war of aggression. I read it in terms of some sorta karmic balance; but I can see how it would be open to mis-interpretation. It's a fine line between insinuating that America deserves to see her own sons and daughters die because she sent them to oppress the people of Iraq and that he wants those soldiers to die individually. My most favorable interpretation of what he said would be that he was far too careless with loaded words. I haven't seen the movie because I'm not really that interested in a leftist Rush. But, reviews and the comments of those who have seen the film have indicated that he has portrayed the soldiers and their families favorably. So, I really don't think he is pulling for Americans to die. It would be more like a false prophet who wrongly proclaims the judgment of the Lord on the United States for its sinful actions. As you know, I didn't favor the war; but I didn't oppose it because it was inherently wrong. I was against it because I thought that the cost would outweigh the benefits.
