Newt Gingrich: It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy Iraq

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"It was an enormous mistake for us to try to occupy that country after June of 2003," Gingrich said during a question-and-answer session at the school. "We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it."

[...]

Gingrich spoke about the traits of great leaders such as George Washington, who listened to people to determine what course to take, whether in battle or in legislation.

"In the American model, power comes from God to you. We then loan it to the government," he said. "The key to a leader is you listen first."

[...]

Gingrich also addressed concerns over immigration law. He'd like to stem the influx of illegal immigrants by providing "smart cards" that use biometric identification with fingerprints or retinas for temporary workers. United States businesses have set a tricky precedent, he said, because they hire illegal immigrants.

"Why not show up" as illegal immigrants, Gingrich said. After all, he said, "Americans like to break the law" by hiring them.

Why is Newt a chop? He's been demonized by the left, but he happens to be a pretty smart guy who really knows his American history.

Let's see: TWO divorces--and wife #1's account has him delivering the papers to sign to the hospital where she was undergoing cancer treatment (that last bit sure sounds to me like he's a chop!).

Probably 'coz the conservatives have dissed him after his second divorce.

You Bible-thumpers just can't separate a mans personal life from his other competencies, can you?

Newt may not be a good person but his background in US history and constitution is not debatable.
