Gingrich: Speaks Out Against Administration's Policy in Iraq:"Off a Cliff"
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031207/nysu011a_1.html

NEW YORK, Dec. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- In an exclusive interview with Newsweek, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, a quiet confidant of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, says the U.S. went "off a cliff in Iraq." In the December 15 issue (on newsstands Monday, Dec. 8), Gingrich talks about the shortcomings of the Bush administration's policy in Iraq, saying that "Americans can't win in Iraq. Only Iraqis can win in Iraq."

Are we in the bizarro world???

1. Dogs that fight amongst themselves ...
cannot unite against the Wolf.

A house divided cannot stand ...

The sharks are circling ...

You pick the catch-phrase; as long as the bad guys go down in flames I'm a happy camper.

2.  bizarre is right
"Americans can't win in Iraq" Sounds like Newt and Rummie have snagled a coupla beers together.

3. Newt copied Clarks position and criticisms

I think Newt had orders to make that explanation so when Bush changes course he'd be following a Republican suggestion...rather than CLARKS.
ALL the changes this administration has made regarding Iraq has been exactly what Clark has been saying. (Notice how they upped the date of transfer...plus it was good for his election.)
