Newt Gingrich emerged Thursday as the first Republican White House hopeful to criticize President Barack Obama for apologizing after Muslim holy books containing extremist language were burned by NATO soldiers.
Gingrich told a crowd in Spokane, Washington, "President Obama surrendered twice today and I think that deserves to be brought to the country's attention."

He continued, "The president apologized for the burning, but I haven't seen the president demand that the government of Afghanistan apologize for the killing of two young Americans."
Gingrich said Obama was ignoring the treat of radical Muslims intent on harming Americans.
"There seems to be nothing that radical Islamists can do to get Barack Obama's attention in a negative way, and he is consistently apologizing to people who do not deserve the apology of the president of the United States, period," Gingrich said.

I know people that’re Newt-ists. They have some fantastic tans...
wait
Wrong Newt-ists..sorry..:(
I’ve done considerable study of the Islamic religion and the various cultures under Islam.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the way to properly dispose of Korans and other Islamic holy documents is to vaporize them in numerous and properly placed thermonuclear explosions. The Obamamites must realize that also and that is likely the reason Obama wants to drastically cut the number of nuclear warheads in our arsenal.
Indeed; we are wasting the lives of our best young men and women there. We should destroy every vestige of infrastructure in that hellhole and leave them. It would be worth it just to see what kind of unpleasant death the Taliban have in mind for that corrupt hypocrite Karzai.
Why have Romney and Santorum failed to comment on this? Probably because Michigan has a large Muslim population and Mitt and Rick are afraid of offending it so soon before the Michigan primary by giving the impression they might not like blood-thirsty Muslim rioters killing American soldiers.
If Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are the only two prominent Republicans with enough courage to speak the truth, let’s have a Gingrich/Palin ticket and be done with it.
Looks like he took another one for His team. :) It is so
difficult for me to forget Rick for doing this.

Amen. Obama’s worse nightmare. 2 Conservatives/2 reformers.
Way to go Newt. All we hear from the GOP leadership is crickets chirping.
Looks like either a little journalistic license or Freudian slip, pointing out that harming Americans is actually a treat.
"That's a fully false, fallacious and ridiculous narrative that is not borne out by any facts," Carney said. "The President, following up on a telephone conversation, the likes of which he has routinely with President Karzai, wrote a long letter on a variety of issues related to our bilateral engagement, including reconciliation, including the trilateral talks with Pakistan last week in Islamabad, in which he also expressed his condolences - or rather, his apology for the inadvertent burning of religious materials by American personnel in Afghanistan."
Did anyone get pea soup on their pants from Jay Carney?
So the "narrative" by Newt is "fallacious." Carney just described what Newt is condemning the President for doing. The spinners for the Obama Regime are a disgrace. They all need to be checked in for mental evaluations; then turned over to a priest for exorcism.
Good for Newt! I’m so sick of that sorry sack of $hit that lives in the W.H. who consistently sucks up to muslims.
Newt is not my top choice (she’s not running) or even in my top ten among potential candidates. However, he is by far my first choice among those still in the race, and this is why. With the immediate and exceptionally grave danger currently facing our country, we need a leader who will tell it like it is, and that is Newt. At least Gingrich comes up with the right answer 90% of the time, and this is one of those times.
Bump
He should have also reminded them that burning is an acceptable method of destroying this evil book.
“If Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are the only two prominent Republicans with enough courage to speak the truth, let’s have a Gingrich/Palin ticket and be done with it.”
Now there’s a plan!
Fixed
Much as I agree...we don’t have the will, nor do we have a Gen.like Sherman.
Plus, pull funds from Pak-EE-Stan and put ‘em back on the terrorist list.
Wait for the brokered convention.
Becaue the media, its idiot pundidty and curent polls tell them otherwise?
Just a guess, mind you.
Independent, critical thinking, on the individual part of most voters have long gone the way of the wind.
GO NEWT!!!
