Phony War On Terror?

The following is a quote from Mr. Gingrich's own web site:

Why Newt Gingrich Calls the War on Terror a ‘Phony War’

“None of you should believe we are winning this war. There is no evidence that we are winning this war," Newt Gingrich told a group of about 300 students attending a conference for collegiate conservatives.

The news of Gingrich’s bold departure from the contentions of our current administration that we are indeed winning the war on terror sent shock waves literally around the world. According to a news article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week, the United States – and logically the Western world – must take immediate steps both to wean ourselves off of imported Middle Eastern petroleum and at the same time to develop vigorous programs for creating alternative energy sources while exploring and utilizing our own extensive domestic oil, coal and oil shale reserves.

The former Speaker of the House from Georgia openly and strongly criticized fellow Republicans for not having addressed the very real threats facing the United States from Islamofascist groups and rogue nations which are all supported and sustained by our own petrodollars.
“We controlled the White House and both houses of Congress for six years, " he said, “and don't think you can look and say that was a great success."

The preceeding was from Mr. Gingrich has stated some provactive thoughts. Has he betrayed the party for his own political gain. He is considering running for the 2008 elections. Or is he giving the Republican right a wake up call. The current batch of so-called conservative candidates are giving the right much to cheer about lately. Is Newt giving us some tuff love to snap this once great party back into life?

Maybe so. I personally do not agree with Mr. Gingrich's line about losing and for calling this war a phony way. However, I do wonder why President Bush isn't sending our troops in to kick some tail and take some name? Why has it been 6 years and a bunch of murdering cowards are running the show?

I think the current surge is working. I think it will take some time to relize the success. I think we need to stop looking for a "quick fix" and look to some long term goals. I think Newt is being political and putting out a sound byte for his own political gain.

Mr. Gingrich, just between you and I, what are your motives?

Thank you Connie Chung.
