WASHINGTON — Likely Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has met his first debate opponent of the 2012 campaign season: himself.

The former House speaker was quick to criticize President Barack Obama two weeks ago for not being more forceful in leading an international campaign to destroy Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's air defenses and save rebels from impending defeat. Gingrich said the United States should tell Gadhafi "that slaughtering your own citizens is unacceptable and that we're intervening."

On Wednesday, he did an about-face.

"I would not have intervened," he said in an interview with NBC News in the morning. "I think there were a lot of other ways to affect Gadhafi. I think there are a lot of other allies in the region that we could have worked with. I would not have used American and European forces."

1. Gingrich does NOT have a "stand". He has a "position of convenience" ...

which changes as the political moment warrants.

with the emphasis on cock.

6. One side of his mouth told the other side

to shut up.

7. K&R. Newt has NEVER had a real opinion-he goes with what he thinks

will benefit HIM most. He has no morality, no ethics and no conscience.
He is a salesman selling Newt.
