#1 I can hardly wait for the regular suspects around here to explain why Gingrich is really a Clinton liberal greasing the skids for the return of Billary.

#2 I am a Gingrich supporter at least on the small government economics way and he runs I would vote for him. Gingrich is a light weight in the Foreign policy region not really his strong point (could be fixed with some proper advisors).
But when I read that article I got really pissed but held for confirmation figured for sure Hanity would waste no time bringing him on Fox and taking to the mat if true. I was very pleased to see at a case of taken out of context. Pull back meaning pull back to Iraqi bases while Iraqi forces take the lead not the Skerry redeployment to ehhh stateside or Germany idiocy. Which I would bet Kerry would follow that up in short order with a end of all aid to Iraqi gov to complete the defeat.

#3 IMHO - Newt's testing the water's for Newt. He's said some bone-headed things lately, and will NEVER be elected President. He would make a good commerce Sec'ty or advisor

#4 It seems Newt didn't say what the story said he said:
Gosh, the MSM tells lies to us. I'm shocked! Shocked! I'd cancel my paper but I did it years ago.

I believe what I believe. I don't believe it because Gingrich said it. I supported Gingrich - in the sense of being willing to vote for him - because he helped to put my beliefs into action. The moment he stops doing so, I will stop supporting him. Gingrich doesn't influence my beliefs. Instead, his beliefs will influence whether I support him politically.

#6 Sounds like Newt's idea of a "pullback" is limited to tens of miles, if that. As bad as Murtha sounded, at least he limited it to a few hundred (IIRC - the Kuwaiti border), still, basically giving up.

Kerry, I suspect, thinks we should close bases in Hawaii, and pull back to Fort Knox, if necessary, and can we really discuss what's necessary, cause that may be an open issue as well.

Meanwhile, Newt's not at all unversed in foreign policy matters. It may seem that way, but he's been on the defense policy board for quite a while, and clearly has plenty of useful experience as speaker (much more useful than, say, being a small state governor).
