Newt Gingrich Suggests Attacking Rest Of 'Axis Of Evil'

July 30, 2010 "Huffington Post" -- Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich twice called on the United States to attack North Korea and Iran Thursday because the United States has only attacked "one out of three" of so-called "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_evilAxis of Evil" members by invading Iraq. He also claimed that Muslims are trying to install Sharia law on America and said that the "War on Terror" should have been a war on "radical Islamists" instead.

Speaking at an American Enterprise Institute event, Gingrich compared not following through on President George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil" agenda with not fully engaging the Axis power in World War II.

"If Franklin Roosevelt had done that in '41, either the Japanese or the Germans would have won," Gingrich said, adding that Americans should "over-match the problem."

On the reaction to Bush's declaration of an "Axis of Evil," Gingrich blamed Democrats because Americans had not followed through on President Bush's words:

I believe he was right but in fact could not operationalize what he said. That is, there was an Axis of Evil, Iran, Iraq, North Korea. Well we're one out of three. And people ought to think about that. If Bush was right in January of 2002 -- and by the way virtually the entire Congress gave him a standing ovation when he said it -- then why is it that the other two parts of the Axis of Evil are still visibly, cheerfully making nuclear weapons? And it's because we've stood at brink, looked over and thought, "Too big a problem."

Wow. He is even more hawkish than McCain.

[Mini-Me]

God, I hope this sorry excuse for a man never reaches the Presidency.

[devil21]

Wow. He is even more hawkish than McCain.

Pure neo-con rhetoric at a pure neo-con venue (AEI). He may be one of the original neo-cons? It's sickening that he's actually winning some GOP polls recently. I still question if the Tea Party(tm) has learned anything in the last couple years. Seems not.

Wonderful, let America go chasing after these loser failed states, while China surpasses it in productive and industrial capacity, and Russia rebuilds it military and reestablishes its regional hegemony. Good job, neocons. You've diverted America's attention long enough to allow it to lose the very "lone superpower" status you sought to preserve.

Newt Gingrich is often viewed as a conservative politician. This video is a speech John McManus, president of the John Birch society, gave which exposes the REAL Newt Gingrich by examining his track record and showing his true motivations.

I hate to say it, but part of me feels like the only way these warmongers will be silenced and humbled once and for all is to get involved in so many wars that the US is utterly smashed in military defeat.

It does not appear wise that we gave back much of the ground gained in the Korean war to the North.It also does not appear wise that North Korea was allowed to have nukes, but those things cannot be changed now. Hopefully they will remain peaceful with all . I doubt that the Israeli's will consider allowing Iran to have a workable nuke rocket without striking.

Is there a non-738-page version somewhere?

"Appear wise" to whom?

Now that right there is some great unintentional comedy. ;)

[oyarde]

Anyone but the North Koreans and at that time , the Chinese.

[Acala]

Now that right there is some great unintentional comedy. ;)

I was actually going to ask if there was a video version. As a joke.

[Mahkato]

I walked right into that one, didn't I?

It's more an issue of insufficient time than lack of reading comprehension.

[devil21]

I walked right into that one, didn't I?

It's more an issue of insufficient time than lack of reading comprehension.

Don't feel bad. I only made it through the first 100 pages before I gave up. It's a good write up but yeah, too long for most and you don't have to read the whole thing to get the gist of what it's saying.

If it makes it any better, that book (which I haven't read myself) is more like 482 pages and the end are a series of appendixes with excerpts from various documents.

A similar book is called The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto. I haven't read it but it's on my to buy list, but I've heard it's pretty long. A shorter one (under 300 pages, which I have read) is NEA - Trojan Horse in American Education
http://www.amazon.com/NEA-Trojan-Horse-American-Education/dp/0941995070
It's not just about the NEA, it's about the history of education and makes a pretty good case that we are being deliberately dumbed down. Just toss out his 'we need God back the schools' stuff and enjoy the otherwise good read. There are youtubes and mp3 speeches by the author (Sam Blumenfield) out there too so

The whole "axis of evil" rhetoric was created to throw Americans off the track of the real "axis of evil". Our "allies" in the Norther Alliance correctly identified the "axis of evil" as being Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the Pakistani ISI. Why did the powers that be not want you to know this? Because the Pakistani ISI was operating under the behest of the CIA when it created the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

"The ISI-Osama-Taliban Axis"

On the 9th of September, the leader of the Northern Alliance Commander Ahmad Shah Masood was assassinated. The Northern Alliance had informed the Bush Administration that the ISI was allegedly implicated in the assassination: The Northern Alliance had confirmed in an official statement that:

a `Pakistani ISI-Osama-Taliban axis' [was responsible] of plotting the assassination by two Arab suicide bombers.... `We believe that this is a triangle between Osama bin Laden, ISI, which is the intelligence section of the Pakistani army, and the Taliban,' 8

More generally, the complicity of the ISI in the "ISI-Osama-Taliban axis" was a matter of public record, confirmed by congressional transcripts and numerous intelligence reports.9
