Gingrich: Egypt and Libya attacks connected; backs Romney statement on Pres. Obama
CNN ^ | 9/12/2012 | Staff

Posted on 09/12/2012 7:12:20 AM PDT by Palmetto Patriot

Newt Gingrich suggests a connection between Libya and Egypt uprisings and attacks and backs Mitt Romney’s statement yesterday that said President Obama sympathized with attackers.

Gingrich says, “This is not just about Libya. You don’t get, simultaneously, attacks in Benghazi and Cairo, in Libya and Egypt on a purely local basis. And you don’t get them on 9/11, a day we’re already honoring terrorist attacks against the United States, without a fair amount of collusion and a fair amount of planning. I think you have to look at this in a larger context…. There’s a substantial faction, particularly in Benghazi, which was sending people to Iraq to kill Americans. There’s a substantial faction in Egypt which wants to defeat the United States and destroy Israel. That faction looks for opportunities to do things to hurt the United States and yesterday was the example of an attack that’s part of a very long war that we’re going to be at for a very long time.”

In the interview:

"How can the US government apologize for a film no one has seen, which is what the Embassy in Cairo did yesterday…. It’s not just about an event in Libya. It’s about a longer war, part of which we were being reminded of yesterday on 9/11.”

Gingrich was right but the US could end it with in an hour or so if they wanted. But there's no money in doing that, just more dead Americans.

Everyone in the administration and The Obama Media seems to be pretending they haven't noticed
these attacks took place on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

And Hillary is proclaiming that this outrage was committed by a “small” group of fanatics. Anything like this is always committed by a “small” number of people but what isn’t stated is that it always happens with the massive support of the people of Libya and Egypt. Hillary, a total incompetent at what she does, is again lying and deceiving and the response from the White Hut is a disgrace. Charles Krauthammer was right: They can all “Go to Hell” the perpetrators and their supporters and their apologists and defenders in our government. We need to clean out all of this corrupt crap in November!!!

I’d make Newt ambassador to the United Nations and John Bolton SOS.

This is part and parcel with what is going on in Syria. The various Muslim sects are having a sort of uncivil war, and this is an effort to drag in the Western powers, most particularly the United States.

The first and nearest objective is Israel, which has gone into a full military alert, with or without the US on board.

The axis of evil now extends Iran to Egypt and through Syria, and makes a nearly complete encirclement of Israel. Even Iraq, once thought to be won back from this axis, is deserting all that had been established at great cost, as al Qaeda in Iraq asserts greater and greater pressure.

Barack Hussein Obama has a difficult decision to make, does he stand with the Sunni, the Shi’ites, or the Alawites? Each of these sects is at odds with both of of the other two, and any alliances that do take place, are for one purpose only, to drive out both the “great Satan” and the “little Satan”.

The assault on the embassies and the murder of our envoy are just one front on this war.

Don't forget that Obama refused to make time to meet with the Israeli PM who voiced his willingness to travel to whatever city Obama wished to meet in. Taken as a whole the events of Yesterday 9/11 compose a message from Obama’s Administration. One of Apology, weakness, and mixed signals about American values.

Yet he entertained members of the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House.

Obama is either totally incompetent, or he is part of Muslim plan to destroy America.

Either way, if he is not replaced in November, America will fall.

Newt is right. American Republicans missed the chance to nominate the only human that knows what is going on and knows how to correct it. That is Newt. And all you Newt ass hats that didn't recognize the only real chance we had, hope you are wallowing in your own crap.
