Here ya go, Newt... |

Since we can't post the from the website here is the link. Gingrich at USD: Pull out of Iraq
Hey Newt! And just why did you leave Congress? Sit down and STFU!
Newt has got to be smoking something if he really thinks he can make it to the oval office.
This country has become a circus of big nosed clowns wanting to be ring master of the masses of sheeple.
He is a morally bankrupt man that has no buisness with republicans. He divorced his last wife while she was on bed recovering from cancer, men like him have no buisness in politics, he should just go live with Hillary since they get along so well.
And right here on FR, there were a bunch of folks the other day arguing that Newt would be a good President.
What were they thinking?
A man with an inflated ego and a gut to match.
Probably based on something Newt said about Iraq and staying in there.
Newt needs to change his name to Chameleon.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but hasn't it been our goal all along to withdraw from Iraq?
If you read the article then you wilk notice Newt Gingrich didn't say to pull completely out, but to scale back
His leftward lurching has been met with fawning sycophancy in the press, of course.
They didn't bother to read the article.
The few times I have listened to Newt, he has lost it. He is leaning left.
Not I, sir, not I. His performance with his wife alone convinced me that however smart Newt is, he lacks the moral fiber to be president.
Germany and Korea were America's two forward most bases in Europe and Asia, and we had enormous firepower and major army commands in both places, with even larger back up forces ready to reinforce on short notice.
If Germany or Korea were locked in insurgencies, we never would have tolerated it or withdrawn. It would be nice if Iraq were as stable as West Germany at this point, but it isn't.
Newt's suggestion would be like pulling out of Korea and Germany. Both would have fallen to the communists, had we created that military vacuum.
Knowing the Argus Leader ...Everyday I read its the front page, editorials and comics and most days can't tell the difference .... I have a suspicion Newt's comments may have been taken out of context. I can't imagine Newt joining the pullout crowd, knowing what will happen if we simpy abandon the Iraqi's like we did the South Vietnamese.
You're right, of course, but I don't think Newts schedule and your (our) idea of a good time to get out are even close.
I'm thinking more along the line of the Germany/Japan withdrawal schedule.
Actually, that was his first wife, who he left for his second wife, whom he subsequently left for an aide.
As I've said for a long time, Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton are more alike than different.... They're the poster children for the self-indulgent narcissists who call themselves Boomers.
His assertions about "what we did" in Korea and Germany are historically flat-out wrong -- which is very a strange thing for a person of his academic credentials.
Nor does he bother to assess the strategic aspects of maintaining large forces in Iraq -- not only to create stability there, but also to put pressure on both Iran and yria, who happen to be the big fomenters of unrest in the region.
None of that can have escaped honest analysis. I think Newt's taken the first steps down the Buchanan trail.
I agree with you, but we didn't demolish and level Iraq and have to build it from the ground up like we did Germany and Japan (although that might have worked out too)
He's nothing but a miserable rotten traitor, except he's quite dumber than your average RINO, since he's trying to get elected again (in 08) and he's already expose himself. As least most RINOS lie about their conservative credentials to get in office.
The vacuum left by David Hackworth's death has not yet been filled, and Pat Buchanan's recent past makes him too ugly to fill it. Newt's headed that direction.
These clowns start believing their own press releases....
Does Tom T. have a campaign committee yet?
The democrats were right about Newt. He is scum!!!!!!!
The strategic considerations weren't "rebuilding for the sake of rebuilding," but rather two different things, both of which served our own long-term self interest:
1. Short-circuit a historical cycle of militarism in both countries by creating a civil society.
2. Maintain a forward military position to counter the Soviet threat, and prevent Soviet expansion into the newly defeated countries.
Those are the same basic strategic issues in Iraq.
We didn't level Iraq like Germany, true.
But Iraq is surrounded by enemies who want to kill us, and them. Those enemies recognize the extreme danger a free Iraq poses to them.
That's something Germany and Japan didn't have to contend with.
I'm not an historian, but my guess is that nearly everyone in the whole world (except the New York Times and the Soviet Union, of course) welcomed and supported their efforts to jion the rest of us.
The latest issue of Foreign Affairs has an article arguing that the disastrous history of Iraq during the last 75 years can be traced back to the Brits' too-hasty exit from the country in the 1920s once public support for the occupation declined in Britain.
and left the second sick wife for a third, he is morally bankrupt, talk about loyalty and obeying vows he does not know what that means; and the MSM would rehash all of his repulsive actions
Pretend to be for a pull-out to get the MSM to tout your virtues, get elected and then go back to being yourself - if it works for Shillary, why might it not work for Newt?
Isn't this the same clown who shut down the federal gov't over not having a seat on a first-class plane flight?
Shut up Newt!

Here ya go, Newt... |
Newt has one of the best minds in the GOP, his history is incorrect here, wonder why? He certainly knows better.
Uh........is this not what we are currently doing?
You mean walk away from Iraq, like you walked away from your sick wife, eh Newt?
No, Newt. Would you settle for our giving the insurgents a reacharound instead?
Anybody who wants to demand that the U.S. pull out of Iraq has to spend at least six months here first and see what's really going on here.
NOT what the news is reporting. What's really happening.
If they still think the U.S. should pull out, then they're allowed to run their mouths about it.
We still don't have to listen, but those should be the rules.
;-)
I'm just wondering if any body bothered to read the article! It's about 3 sentences out of a 2& half hour speech. Perhaps you should re title this post: "Let's stand in our glass houses & beat the Sh** out of Newt!"
I'll forever be mad at Newt, he put himself and his desires before his duty to his country and that says it all!
Newt Gingrich, the former Republican Speaker of the House, told students and faculty at the University of South Dakota Monday that the United States should pull out of Iraq and leave a small force there, just as it did post-war in Korea and Germany."It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. "We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it."
It has been our policy to pull out of Iraq after setting up a government.
I think Newt's saying that we should have displaced one government, and then got out of there while they set up a new government on their own.....after a civil war, of course.
There's some wisdom in that. We could just threaten the next government that they'd get the same thing if they bothered us.
That's the hands off approach. President Bush chose the hands on approach. There's something to be said for it, too.
The question is always going to be how much is too much and how much is too little. One thing is clear, though. We elected Pres. Bush and gave him the authority to make the decision.
Newt lost my trust long ago.
