Gingrich says it's World War III --Postman-- Seattle Times

[Demeter]

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and President Bush should say so. In an interview in Bellevue this morning Gingrich said Bush should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president...Gingrich says that as of now Republicans "are sailing into the wind" in congressional campaigns. He said that's in part because of the Iraq war, adding, "Iraq is hard and painful and we do not explain it very well."

He lists wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, this week's bomb attacks in India, North Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon as evidence of World War III. He said Bush needs to deliver a speech to Congress and "connect all the dots" for Americans...He said the reluctance to put those pieces together and see one global conflict is hurting America's interests. He said people, including some in the Bush Administration, who urge a restrained response from Israel are wrong "because they haven't crossed the bridge of realizing this is a war."

"This is World War III," Gingrich said. And once that's accepted, he said calls for restraint would fall away: "Israel wouldn't leave southern Lebanon as long as there was a single missile there. I would go in and clean them all out and I would announce that any Iranian airplane trying to bring missiles to re-supply them would be shot down. This idea that we have this one-sided war where the other team gets to plan how to kill us and we get to talk, is nuts."

There is a public relations value, too. Gingrich said that public opinion can change "the minute you use the language" of World War III. The message then, he said, is "'OK, if we're in the third world war, which side do you think should win?"


With Republicans in control of Washington, D.C., it's Democrats who this year are hoping for a reform wave to sweep them into office. Democrats want to nationalize the election and make each congressional race about Bush, the Iraq war and the Republican agenda. Republicans have been trying to localize each race, as in Reichert's challenge from political newcomer Darcy Burner, and make the race about the qualifications and personalities of the candidates, not about a national agenda.

10. "investigations" are evidence of a world war?

terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain

Gee, I guess we've been in a world war ever since Socrates was accused of immorality by Athens, then? All those judges and policemen the world has seen through the ages, it turns out they were soldiers, after all.

Gingrich said that public opinion can change "the minute you use the language" of World War III.

Yeah, the public suddenly say "shut the fuck up, you idiotic excuse for a human being".

The message then, he said, is, "OK, if we're in the third world war, which side do you think should win?"

The opposite one from you, Newt. Of that I'm certain. I suspect, however, you're on the same side as Osama bin Laden, and anyone else fervently hoping for a world war.

11. I hope Bushy** does this

And I hope that the Dems have enough starch to talk about the draft.
Because we are on the mat, in terms of boots to put on the ground.

This is Gingrich saying its time to send lots of poor boys and girls over to die for
petro-christo-fascism.

Yee Hah Amerika, time to go down and get your free physical.

12. Fatboy Bubba Gingrich loves spilling others blood, but not his.

Gingrich is the perfect example of a white, racist, spoiled rotten, ignorant but thinks he knows it all, lazy, blame it on everyone else, where's my six-pack and my bucket of Kentucky Fried chicken, male.

Remember how he talked about welfare moms and how they were the reason the world was going to hell?

Remember that? LOL!!

If he isn't one of the biggest, ciphon sucking parasites on this planet, then please tell me who is?

All he does is get fatter, have sex with younger women while he's married, impeaches presidents for blow jobs with younger women while he's getting blow jobs from younger women, makes it legal to steal from others less fortunate and and he actually gets paid for his theft most often by our tax dollars.

Gingrich is a psychopathic grabber of anything that is anyone elses and he takes pride in profitting by destroying what (and who) are good in the world.

Now he's pumped ("let's face it, its World War III", isn't THAT what he said?)for more killing. Get that bucket and brewski bubba Newt and pull up to the t.v..
