Newt Gingrich: 9/11 anniversary -- 15 years of strategic defeat, dishonesty and humiliation
Fox News - Opinion ^ | 9/9/2016 | Newt Gingrich

Snip...

Our men and women in uniform have been heroic.

Many have signed up to serve again even after being wounded.

Our tactical units remain the best in the world.

Our intelligence officers and diplomats have risked their lives in service to the country.

The problem is not with the sincerity, the courage, the energy or the effort of individual Americans.

The problem has been the approach of a bipartisan Washington political elite that has squandered 15 years, thousands of lives, many thousands wounded, and trillions of dollars with no coherent strategy, no honest assessment of the challenge, and no willingness to learn from failure and develop new strategies and new institutions.

Newt can be strange at times but when he is right he is really right.

On 9/11/2001 how many people would have believed that our own government would use the terrorist attacks to expand Big Brother Government,
abridge our constitutional freedoms, demonize patriots and Christians, and provide arms, money, comfort and safe harbor to our muslim terrorist enemies?

And it is not just George Bush and Barack Obama who are guilty of this.

The congress and senate share culpability.

You are correct! I’ll never forget when he said that. I was expecting him to come down on them like nobody’s business. Then he said that. It didn’t make sense. It still doesn’t make sense. My mouth was open, and all I could think was W. T. F.!

Newt finally gets it. If kept on a short leash, Newt could do some good in the right job.

Newt is a great ideas man - but you have to be able to filter out the whacky stuff.

My guess is, Bush didn't want a "street war" between Christians, Jews, and Islam in the US.

Well, we got it anyway!

I wonder when the other fronts will begin to fight back.
