Newt Gingrich said Aug. 10, 2014
“ISIS is a Worldwide Fight, Not a Neighborhood Brawl, We’d Better Get Serious”
“.....the tragedy about where we are” goes much further back than Obama, as far as 1979 and the Iran hostage crisis, with us refusing as a nation to tell the truth about radical Islam. .....He says “The truth is this is a radical islamist group, they say openly if you don’t convert we’ll kill you, it turns out they mean it, no complexity.”... They are exactly like Hamas. Hamas says openly we’re going to kill every Jew.”
Gingrich adds, ....“The difference is that ISIS is gaining power and they’re doing exactly what they said they would do.” .....He maintains that “For three or four administrations we haven’t had the courage to confront how bad this is, and it’s getting worse.”
They are in northern Lebanon, they’re in Syria and they are recruiting in Europe and the United States. ISIS sees this as a worldwide fight and we draw a line in the sand at Irbil, Gingrich asks, “What does that accomplish?”
He says we should be arming and training the Kurds as well as the traditional tribes we know and had relationships with when we were previously in Iraq. We should be providing air power in a massive way and hunting ISIS anywhere it exists.
Gingrich contends “Our goal shouldn’t be to stop ISIS, our goal should be to destroy ISIS. This is a radical anti-human organization.”
Well said, and backed up with documentation.
Newt is Right as far as he goes, but a search and destroy policy such as “- - - our goal should be to destroy - - - “ didn’t work in Vietnam, Libya, Iran or Afghanistan.
How many failures are necessary before the USA adopts a POSITIVE Foreign Policy?
” - - - When a room is swept clean, what is to prevent it from being filled with 7 devils, each worse than the one before? - - - “ to quote THE BIBLE.
What say you, Newt Gingrich, and your supporters?
