Since we can't post the from the website here is the link. Gingrich at USD: Pull out of Iraq
Hey Newt! And just why did you leave Congress? Sit down and STFU!
Newt has got to be smoking something if he really thinks he can make it to the oval office.
This country has become a circus of big nosed clowns wanting to be ring master of the masses of sheeple.
He is a morally bankrupt man that has no buisness with republicans. He divorced his last wife while she was on bed recovering from cancer, men like him have no buisness in politics, he should just go live with Hillary since they get along so well.
And right here on FR, there were a bunch of folks the other day arguing that Newt would be a good President.
What were they thinking?
A man with an inflated ego and a gut to match.
Probably based on something Newt said about Iraq and staying in there.
Newt needs to change his name to Chameleon.
Pardon me if I am wrong, but hasn't it been our goal all along to withdraw from Iraq?
If you read the article then you wilk notice Newt Gingrich didn't say to pull completely out, but to scale back
His leftward lurching has been met with fawning sycophancy in the press, of course.
They didn't bother to read the article.
The few times I have listened to Newt, he has lost it. He is leaning left.
Not I, sir, not I. His performance with his wife alone convinced me that however smart Newt is, he lacks the moral fiber to be president.
Germany and Korea were America's two forward most bases in Europe and Asia, and we had enormous firepower and major army commands in both places, with even larger back up forces ready to reinforce on short notice.
If Germany or Korea were locked in insurgencies, we never would have tolerated it or withdrawn. It would be nice if Iraq were as stable as West Germany at this point, but it isn't.
Newt's suggestion would be like pulling out of Korea and Germany. Both would have fallen to the communists, had we created that military vacuum.
Knowing the Argus Leader ...Everyday I read its the front page, editorials and comics and most days can't tell the difference .... I have a suspicion Newt's comments may have been taken out of context. I can't imagine Newt joining the pullout crowd, knowing what will happen if we simpy abandon the Iraqi's like we did the South Vietnamese.
