As a side note, after Gingrich spoke: on the Fox Report with Shepard Smith today at 3-4P.M ET, Shepard Smith, Ed Rollins and Carl Cameron seemed just wee bit peeved with Gingrich...
Isn’t Rollins with the Romney camp?
I’m not sure what Romney’s point really was back in 2007. However, IMO, Obozo’s comment was ill-timed and ill-conceived in that the U.S. should NEVER give away to our enemies what actions we will or might take during a time of war, at least not through a public statement.
SEAL teams. Get it right.
And no, he wouldn't unless they had never drank coffee or Coke
or tea or any iced beverage and agreed that he was a God-In-Becoming.
Plus, the magic underpants should be consulted.. but not in all cases.
Would the SEALs wear them? That's the question.
Would you trust those drawers in a combat situation?
Back then even Hillary Clinton ridiculed Obama's statement regarding Pakistan at first.
Today, Newt bowed out of the race and in so doing, this was the report:
ARLINGTON, Va. — Newt Gingrich, the colorful former House speaker and fiery partisan, formally exited the Republican presidential contest Wednesday and vowed to help Mitt Romney’s bid to defeat President Barack Obama.
Ending a campaign that seesawed between implosion and frontrunner and back again, Gingrich threw his support to his one-time rival as expected and promised his supporters he would continue to push conservative ideas. Gingrich bowed out of the race more than $4 million in debt.
“Today, I am suspending the campaign. But suspending the campaign does not mean suspending citizenship,” Gingrich told a ballroom in a suburban Washington hotel.
“We are now going to put down the role of candidate and candidate’s spouse and take back the role of active citizens,” he said, adding he would continue to promote conservative ideas on college campuses, as well as through newsletters and films.
He also urged conservatives to rally behind Romney as a better alternative than Obama.
“This is not a choice between Mitt Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a choice between Mitt Romney and the most radical, leftist president in American history,” Gingrich said.
He's right...in fact throughout Obamas speech tin Aphganistan he consistantly refered to L-Queda when in fact the soldiers he was speeking to are fighting the Taliban.
Makes ya wonder truly what the troops thought.
Obama doesn't know what he's doing except campaigning...and like politicians compaigning they rarely know the facts. Obama's never left campaign mode...he can't...doesn't know how to be a President.
I watched him speak to the troops...only he wasn't speaking to them..it indeed was a campaign speech...and i was stunned when he so arrogantly told the troops he'd be speaking to us later, as if they should be privledged to be in his company....they all knew anyway this was nothing about them...but saing that just rubbed salt into the wounds...what a complete jerk he is.
Even if you would do it, it doesn’t follow that you want to say you would before hand. Both Obama and Romney were wrong to announce what they would do ahead of time. Moreover circumstances change. Nobody knew at that time that Pakistan had been actively hiding Osama for years.
His ENTIRE FAMILY EN MASSE has avoided military service for over 100 years.
I think even the Kenyan Hussein Baraka has a brother in law who served.
