I agree. Also, although I understand the difference between criticizing the State Department and Powell, a large number of Americans don't.

Kemp had a couple of good points:

1. Because Newt sits on the Defense Policy Board, it gives the appearance that the criticism is coming from the Pentagon.

2. Coming right after a great victory, it was very poorly timed and took attention away from the success.

I also think the phrasing was poor and sounded too much like Daschle.

Now, everyone can criticize ME for criticizing Newt who was criticizing Powell!!!

You'll hear no criticism from me.

Newt's comments were neither well timed~~~nor well stated.

I'm going to duck now ;^)
