Whether you agree with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich or not, there are few people from either side of the aisle[s] who actually have brains that don’t consider him an intelligent, pointed, articulateand accurate speaker.
Here’s his intro from a September 10 speech — regarding September 11, 2001, the Petraeus Report, and the idiocy that is the “debate” on Iraq fostered and advanced by people who, for the most part, have one intent: getting elected to perpetuate the free ride Americans give them at the expense of those who do the dying.(Any emphasis is mine — GPJ)
The speech was given at the American Enterprise Institute:
“The essence of this speech is very simple.
“Six years after the attack of 9/11/2001 we are having the wrong debate about the wrong report.
“The heart of our problem is in attitude. Wars require bold efforts and undertaking real risks. We must recognize the requirements for change and we must adopt a spirit that it is better to make mistakes of commission and then fix them than it is to avoid achievement by avoiding failure.
“Six years after the attack of 9/11/2001, the difference between the debate we ought to be having and the debate we are having is staggering.
“The gap between where we are and where we should be is so large that it seems almost impossible to explain why the Petraeus Report, while important, will be a wholly inadequate explanation as to what is required to defeat our enemies and secure America and her allies.”
