Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich called on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi Wednesday afternoon to change her rebuttal to tonight's State of the Union Address, saying the language she intends to use referring to U.S. troops in Iraq as "an occupying force" is "outrageous."
"I hope before she says it tonight that she will withdraw that phrase and does not use it tonight," Gingrich told radio host Sean Hannity. "That's like describing American forces in Germany during the Cold War as an occupying force instead of a force that was protecting the German people from the Soviet Union." In a transcript of her pre-taped remarks released to the press earlier today, the top House Democrat complains: "We all know that the United States cannot stay in Iraq indefinitely and continue to be viewed as an occupying force. Neither should we slip out the back door, falsely declaring victory but leaving chaos."
Gingrich predicted that Pelosi's remarks would be used by America's enemies as a propaganda tool.
"You don't give them a chance to play the Democratic leader around the world saying something that even implies" you're critical of the troops.
"This is a big mistake. It is a bad thing for America. How can you be quiet about something that's this outrageous?" Gingrich said.
Newt should just come out and say it:
Pelosi and her ilk are the enemy!
I pray she doesn't!
Let her use it. Gives Rush more ammo, like he needs more when taking dowm dems, but let her open her trash mouth.
bttt
Nancy, don't change. I want the Democratic Party dead. Thank you for sharing the same goal.
Pelosi, Kennedy and Dean today's democratic leaders, helping to ensure a Republican Congress, Senate and President.
See what I mean? I wonder if she'll go through with it....
Newt, the Freepers are right and you're wrong. Let the Democrats rip their disguises off and show the country just who they are.
But the term "occupying force" fits Democratic sensibilities just fine. I think it reflects the fact that national Democrats are desparate to hold on to the left wing voter. Everything they've done lately seems to be aimed to please the political Left.
It's noteworthy that Iraqi political figures have expressed that they want the "occupying force" - liberating force would be a better term - to stay.
You've got that right. She's a Socialist pig and a traitor to the bone!!!
Why is it that only Newt and Zell are willing to call the Democrats on their treasonous conduct ?
The silence from the Republican side sends a clear message to the terrorists.
And a clear message to the base.
Oh, lord...don't stop her! Please, I'm begging you, let her say it! OUT LOUD.
Hey Newt! SHUTUP! The Beast is not dead yet.

Newt knows that if he says do X, the Dimwits will do Y instead. He is ensuring that Pelosi will use the phrase by asking her not to. :-)
Looks like the takeover of the Dean wing is complete.
The Iraqi people ignored the terrorist threats; they can easily ignore idiot Democrats. If nothing else, the Iraqi people will be prepared to ignore their own version of a future Democratic party.
