He is another self centered politician trying to run in 08 and distancing himself from the President.He was a cheerleader for the war and now he calls it a failure.Thank goodness this media and these politicians were not around for WW2.We would all be speaking German or Japanese now.

Any war we get into and don't win is a failure. So what's wrong with that statement? We will not win this war unless the PC is removed and we just go in there and kick ass. If Reagan was still president this thing would be over a long time ago and Saddam would be already dead. Newt is just stating the truth. Amen brah!
[let the flaming begin]

To: jamese777
The last time I checked, Saddam was out of power and getting ready for the gallows.
I heard the Iraqis have had two or three elections.
Our miltary is killing terrorists by the thousands.
Newt needs to put it in perspective.

I have no idea why these GOP candidates think the thing to get them votes is to blast the war effort.Because they're opportunistic swine?

Because Hillary wants him to run with her as Vice President.

The war, overall, is not a failure. The current strategy is a failure. al-Sadr is still alive. So are a lot of other jihadist sub-humans that should not be permitted to exist in the region. Until we retool our strategy to take out every last one of them, our strategy is a failure. A post-liberation Iraq wherein people like al-Sadr still operate is doomed.

I heard the Iraqis have had two or three elections. Yeah, and elected two pro-Iranian fundamentalists: Maliki and Sadr.

If Reagan was still president this thing would be over a long time ago and Saddam would be already dead. Newt is just stating the truth.Well yes, Reagan did cut and run from Beirut, but that was the biggest mistake of his presidency, which laid the groundwork for the terror-tactic wars we now face.
But of course the easy soundbite whenever anything goes wrong is to just claim that Reagan would have done it different.
