Loved that Mark 15 Phalanx chain gun's effect on the Iranian's suicide speedboats in the Gulf...turned them into pink mist...
THE KEFT WILL STILL CARP, PROTEST AND YELL ABOUT WAR MONGERING, BUT REALLY, WHO CARES? (OR, RATHER WHO should CARE WHAT THOSE LEFTIST FREAKS HAVE TO SAY?)
I imagine it might tip the disafected Persians over the edge.

All that is needed is the will.

another work of C&S art with that image.
there are many problems with Newt, who talks the talk, but failed to walk the walk. Newt is smart enough to say what Conservatives want to hear, when speaking with the mighty HH.
Tom Delay referenced how Gingrich, foolishly having some affair while Bill was being impeached, actually hurt the Conservative effort behind the scenes in the 90s.
Self Interest was the big problem, or should we say, big ego?
Enjoyed reading his insight on Iran, and do agree mostly, but concerned Gingrich is a true populist opportunist in the Conservative arena these days.
Remember his tired photo op with Hillary?
Remember his advocation for the Iraq Invasion, only to pull the weak 'mistakes with management' excuse, to distance himself from the Mission when it became unpopular?
How about how NEWT DID NOTHING about illegal immigration in the 90s, or the threats of Radical Muslim Militants who were killing throughout the World at the time (including attacking the WTC in 1993), and let Bill-Hillary Clinton dog him while he was Speaker?
I see a lot of posers, who proclaim to be super tough, true Conservatives, etc., who failed to get the job done, when they were in the game. Newt's never had 'CEO' experience, and he basically left Congress as a failure.
Greatly appreciate Newt's public advocation, but I don't want a fine public orator, whos fails to match his conviction, or cannot get results.
Would rather have someone who lets the actions speak for themselves. I often ask myself, who would have the guts to invade Afghanistan, or Iraq after 9-11 as POTUS, and I cannot safely say Newt's on that list. But that list, of those with that sort of strength these days, is very small.
It is so easy to drive from the backseat.
IMO Rudy would have and wouldn't have pussyfooted around either. Who else? Hmmm, I'm afraid my list is shorter than HNAV. Maybe Newt, maybe McCain. Fact is we need a thick skinned(that ain't Newt or McCain) swinging dick that ain't going to take any crap off the MSM or the dems in Congress and when I pull the lever, it still is coming up 3 Rudys.
Certainly Newt's proposal is correct, if nothing else, he does have a big brain.

I have several problems with Newt, not the least of which is he loves FDR. He also admitted to being hypnotized by Bill Clinton. Eek. His best service to the nation will be to suggest to future presidents a course of action and hope he's dealing with one who will act on the good ones, like this one. Arte you listening Mr.President?
I do notb really think Newt will Run I se his roll as being an adviser. But he is 100% correct on his assessment of this situation. All great leaders are men or women like Maggy Thacher and all are flawed. I believe that Newt has learned some very hard lessons and has the best interest of the country at heart.I still think I can see Fred in our future. While I would vote for Rudy above Hillary He is by no means a conservative and his personal life reads like something from the Borgia's. Hell at least Newt's kids and even his ex wife is on his side. Rudy's kid wont even vote for him.
Newt definitely will run. He hasn't announced, because he's smart enough to stay below the radar through the summer when the MSM has nothing to write about, so they won't be rehashing their slams on him. He's one televised Republican debate away from being the front-runner, OK two.
I only quibble with one of his points. There's no need to put anyone on the ground to blow their gasoline refinery. It's a perfect target for air power.
Hell Jack, my ex sure won't vote for me. I support Rudy ehthusiatically, because on THE most important issue, he will kick ass. If and when Fred enters, and convinces me he'll do the same, than we'll see.
I heard Fred doing Paul Harvey last week and he sure talked the talk on illegal immigration. Sad to say, Rudy is squishy, I don't like that at all.
I agree with the last post, both Fred and Newt know it is just too damn early.

I like Newt: he'd make a great president and he'd scare the bejeesus out of our ennemies: they'd think twice before acting. I wish he'd run for President but I don't know if he'd have a serious chance. Newt as Prez and Rudy as vice-prez, that'd work for me.
Of course, given a real choice I'd go for Vlad the Impaler as Prez. That's what we need right now.
"He also admitted to being hypnotized by Bill Clinton."
forgot that one...
well said.
MR. S is outstanding...
thanks.
