CINCINNATI (AP) -- Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is praising President Barack Obama for showing political courage on Afghanistan.
The Georgia Republican said Wednesday that Obama's plan to send 30,000 extra troops to Afghanistan is the right step, and that Tuesday's speech at West Point showed the president was facing reality.

Is Gingrich angling for a permanent spot on Meet the Press?
What else does he have left?
Now there’s a shock....< /sarcasm >
Newt is a democrat (commie) hiding behind a big red (R)...not surprised here he’s licking ObaMao’s boots.
Quisling Newt.
Has he stayed on the stage too long?
Newt is a dip sh_t. Having never served he doesnt have a clue what message “O” delivered to the troops.
As I said elsewhere
Being one of hundreds of thousands that served in Viet Nam I can tell you what this abomination of a CIC really said to the troops.
OK people I want 30,000 of you to get on the plane and go eat dirt for get shot at for18 months and whoever is left at that time can come home. Oh, and I dont want to hear any of that do we get to win stuff either. Im smarter than all of you, I won the nobel peace prize, and have deliberated on this for three month. I am a experienced community organizer and Bush screwed the whole thing up anyway. I am the commander and chief now deal with it.... BHO
P.S. this better not screw up nationalizing health care.
My heart breaks for our troops that have to answer this call to nowhere may God protect them because their CIC wont.
Why does Sean Hannity continue to have this moron on his show. He just read Newt’s statement
One never knows what to expect with Newt Gingrizafavva. He’s now on Hannity (correctly) bashing Obama’s ‘Job Summit’.
Appears Hannity is asking him about lauding Obama’s speech.
While catching a connecting flight back from Bachmann’s Capital Front-Stoop Conressional Smack-down, I saw an empty shoeblack stand at IAH (George Bush Intercontinental). Gnewt is smart enough to do that.
Yes, exactly, he told the troops for the next 18 months you guys/gals are going to march in place and keep getting killed and then we bring you home, dead or alive, meanwhile we are sending another 30,000 troops so your odds for survival will be slightly greater with the fresh cannon fodder I am sending. What ever you do don’t capture any terrorist or actually hurt them because you will be brought up on charges if you do. Deal with it.

Great post. Thank you.
Newt jumped the shark when he sat on Nancy’s sofa. He is an irrelevant RINO, an endangered species. C’mon 2010!
On Drudge:
Gingrich praises Obama on Afghanistan...
Rove: Obama Can Win... (which was a devestating essay)
DER SPIEGEL: ‘Never before has a speech by President Barack Obama felt as false’...
Gingrich has a TIN EAR. He just doesnt get it and he needs to go hide somewhere.
I am done with Hannity. I do not listen to him or watch him. His palling around with both McCain and Newt is enough for me to say, I have better things to do with my time....
Newt Gingrich puts head up Obama's butt.
