Follow the flip-flopping Newt
Newt Gingrich last night:
I think we are drifting to a very, very dangerous situation. None of the generals recommended the speed of the drawdown the president wants. We are beginning to lose in the region. ... And if you watch what is happening there’s a steady drift from the United States at a time when the president is signaling his desire to get out as fast as he can and potentially faster than the generals think is safe.
Newt Gingrich two weeks ago:
I think that we need to think fundamentally about reassessing our entire strategy in the region. I think that we should say to the generals we would like to figure out how to get out as rapid as possible with the safety of the troops involved. And we had better find new and very different strategies because this is too big a problem for us to deal with the American ground forces in direct combat.
I guess now it's clear why Newt Gingrich has had so many wives. At least to him, statements on foreign policy carry about as much weight as the words "I do."
