Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and President Bush should say so. In an interview in Bellevue this morning Gingrich said Bush should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president.
"We need to have the militancy that says 'We're not going to lose a city,' " Gingrich said. He talks about the need to recognize World War III as important for military strategy and political strategy.
Gingrich said he is "very worried" about Republican's facing fall elections and says the party must have the "nerve" to nationalize the elections and make the 2006 campaigns about a liberal Democratic agenda rather than about President Bush's record.
Gingrich says that as of now Republicans "are sailing into the wind" in congressional campaigns. He said that's in part because of the Iraq war, adding, "Iraq is hard and painful and we do not explain it very well."
But some of it is due to Republicans' congressional agenda. He said House and Senate Republicans "forgot the core principle" of the party and embraced Congressional pork. "Some of the guys," he said, have come down with a case of "incumbentitis."
Gingrich said in the coming days he plans to speak out publicly, and to the Administration, about the need to recognize that America is in World War III.
He lists wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, this week's bomb attacks in India, North Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon as evidence of World War III. He said Bush needs to deliver a speech to Congress and "connect all the dots" for Americans.

DUH!
Gingrich says it's World War III!
So do I.
Ask Keller ... the American people need to know his answer.
I love Newt!
We need to ban the importation of oil. It would mess us up about as badly as we were messed up during WW-II for about a year, after which we'd be vastly better off, and it would utterly ruin all of the world's worst ****heads permanently.
Newt is right on the money. And.....GW Bush better level with the American people. As of today, the USA is never going to be in a better position to take on Iran, Syria and North Korea. GW will be surprised that the overwhelming majority of the American electorate will back him to the maximum.
There are those who know this already and those who have their head in the sand. They will never come around until a major US city is destroyed. By then, they will blame Bush for not stopping it when they are the ones who are truly to blame.

Some say that Gingrich would be a poor choice, because the feminists and other libertines of the left dislike him so much. But he would get the conservative Republican vote and the votes of many liberal men, who are fed-up with Hillary's policies.
I agree and have been trying to tell my friends and relatives this for a long time. They won't listen.
It's the left and the Islamofascists against America and Western civilization.
And....Newt may be our next President, hopefully. America always produces a "man for the moment" and Newt is looking more and more like "The Man"!!!
Even Ray Charles could see that we are in a World War with the "Religion of Peace".
Does he have a book coming out soon?
Me, too. I see he's running third in the Freeper election poll behind McCain and Guliani... he's running #1 with me..
Isn't there some adultery waiting to be committed?
A question for armchair strategists out there: What if the Arab world plays it's strongest card, which is an oil embargo? I have not seen this possibility addressed.
Sadly, we already know who the libs and the media wants to see win.
It's WWIV. WWIII was the Cold War.
