I'm reading Ron Chernow's book on Alexander Hamilton right now. Gingrich is today's Hamilton. Driven, brilliant, but capable of horrid lapses in judgment. That is not saying that I wouldn't support the guy.
Well Stated!
BTW, wasn't Curtis LeMay the guy that made Chesty Puller, Doug McArthur, and John Wayne look like wimps?

If we had a Curtis LeMay around today the class of 2016 would be asking "What was an Arab?". I don't think he made MacArthur 'look like a wimp', IMHO both of them knew how to win a total war. While I'm not the only one to second guess the bombing of Dresden, the fact is that LeMay understood 'total war'; I wish his ghost would come back and kick Rumsfield, Rice and the president in their collective butts.
One mosque, one nuke.

LeMay was the main proponent of "morale bombing." That is, targeting civilian populations to weaken the enemy's resolve to fight the war. He also advocated nuking Cuba during the missile crisis.
