This speech is LONG, but if you want to see what seperates Newt from everyone else, this is worth watching. His level of understanding of the terror threat, his historical comparisons, and his vision for winning going forward are inspiring. Absolutely fantastic. Newt NEEDS to be our president.

Thanx for linking to this speech. This one man for whom I will drop what I’m doing in order to listen. He is a wise man.

Buckley concludes his book review this way: “Those critics who insist that it is only a small war-party faction of the Islamists that we have to fear might have been asked a generation ago if it was not merely a small number of Germans and Russians we were properly exercised about. Sixty million people were dead after that misreckoning.”

These are words worth remembering. Those who insist that Islam is really a "religion of peace" that has merely been "hijacked" by "a few extremists"--even if that analysis were correct--should take no comfort in the numbers.

Not sure if it includes the Q&A afterwards, though..... which is pretty good.

The link I’m using has the Q&A on right now. This was an extremely significant speech! Newt has posited ‘what if we had been serious in our assessment, THEN our mobilization in this war against the irreconcilable wig of Islam?’ He has made this ‘suppose’ fromt he standpoint of a brilliant Historian with access to the actual information and intel we have not utilized properly or even in fragmentation!

WHEN the next terrible attack occurs, at least we have a man who has worked out an alternative history which allows for positing what we should do that we have not yet done. Pray the leadership has the common sense to utilize his wisdom when we need it.

Listen to the whole speech and the Q&A. Newt has posited clearly what might have happened had we reacted to 911 in a more apt fashion fitting being at war with a determined, irroncileable enemy. What he puts forth will have to be part of the debate and changes WHEN the next horrific terrorist slaughter on American soil occurs. And it will happen because the demon that drives Islamic radicalism is not giving up the satanic desire to slaughter millions of Americans and bring this nation to submission to the demon cult of Islam.

PING))))))

You that have been pinged are on a pro-life ping list. I have pinged this very important speech given by Newt Gingrich on the eve of the 911 date. This speech was quite long, but it is well worth a listen when you get time. We will get hit again by the demonspawn of Islam and when it happens the things Newt covered in this speech must be the issues around which our response coalesces and changes from present approach. Thank you for your patience in giving this long speech a listen as you have time ... the media will not give it notice, typically.

Like Churchill in the thirties, Newt is a voice crying in the wilderness.

"Newt needs to STFU"

What's with that?
