Newt's WWIII Call to Action
 |
| Newt's idea of a campaign poster. |
The jerk from Georgia is at it again and it just doesn't get more nakedly political
than this.
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich says we're in WWIII.
Yes, it's bad, but not bad enough to do anything about it now.
No, Bush should wait until September, then call a joint session of Congress
to nationalize the elections.
You've got to love the conservatives. Nothing
is ever bad enough to act upon when it's happening. You need to wait until the marketing campaign can be
truly effective; that is after the summer is over and right before the election.
You just can't make this stuff up.
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.(snip)
Gingrich said he is “very worried” about Republican's facing
fall elections and says the party must have the “nerve” to nationalize
the elections and make the 2006 campaigns about a liberal Democratic agenda
rather than about President Bush's record.
I can't wait to hear Bill Kristol take up his call.
But seriously, Newt, old boy, President Bush's record? Is the former Speaker
off his meds? The news right now isn't exactly supporting conservative competency
last time I looked.
I've been covering it for days: here,
here, here,
here, here,
and here…
oh, I almost forgot here,
here and
here and
even here,
too. And for emphasis, the picture at the top of this post is what conservative foreign policy strategies have wrought.
Nationalize that, Newt. Come on, baby, make our year.
Israeli leaders have warned that the battle could be a long one, and say
that Israel will not accept a return to the conditions that existed before
the fighting started, with Hezbollah and not the Lebanese Army controlling
Lebanon’s southern border with Israel. “We can’t go back
to the status quo,” said Mark Regev, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry.
“That would mean that Hezbollah still has its finger on the trigger
and can start a regional crisis whenever that serves its interest.”The military goal is to push Hezbollah from the border so it cannot strike
at Israel, Mr. Regev said. The political goal, he said, is to carry out a
United Nations Security Council resolution, passed two years ago, that calls
for the Lebanese government to take control of its southern border and disarm
militias like Hezbollah.
