Limbaugh: Obama doesn't care about war

President Barack Obama doesn’t care about the war in Afghanistan, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh said on "Fox News Sunday."

“I don’t think he cares much about it,” said Limbaugh about the eight-year war,

Fox had an exclusive interview with Limbaugh in the midst of an ongoing spat between the network and the Obama administration.

This week, Obama traveled to Dover Air Force Base to salute the remains of Americans killed in Afghanistan. And Limbaugh said the trip was a media event, organized to distract the public from the ongoing debate within the administration over the war in Afghanistan.

“It was a photo-op precisely because he’s having big time trouble on this Afghanistan dithering situation,” he said.

Under President George W Bush, media was banned from the receiving ceremonies. Critics say that Bush refused to allow photos in order to hide the human cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But Limbaugh said that the previous administration did not take photos with the fallen returning home from war because they did not want to “use” military families.

“I have the benefit of knowing George Bush a little bit and I’ve seen him cry talking about missions that he’s ordered,” Limbaugh said.
