For Newt, ‘World War III’ Is Just the Beginning

Newt Gingrich doesn’t just want to lay waste to his political enemies and a large part of the news media. The former House speaker and presidential hopeful wants to bomb a significant part of the planet, too.
Gingrich is on the record favoring American military intervention from North Korea to Lebanon. He recently threatened cyberwar with China and Russia. And on Monday, he called for an all-out assault to topple the Castro regime in Cuba.
With such a wide range of targets, no wonder Gingrich has consistently said that the U.S. is in the middle of “World War III.” His plans for overthrowing the Iranian government? Just the beginning.
In fact, if President Gingrich encounters any little green men while building his moon base (!), they had better pray to their astral maker for mercy.
In a July 2006 interview, Gingrich lamented President Bush’s alleged reluctance to “connect the dots” between what a Seattle Times reporter summarized as “bomb attacks in India, North Korean nuclear threats, terrorist arrests and investigations in Florida, Canada and Britain, and violence in Israel and Lebanon.”
That same month, citing the same litany of conflicts, Gingrich said on Meet The Press, “I believe if you take all the countries I just listed, that you’ve been covering, put them on a map, look at all the different connectivity, you’d have to say to yourself this is, in fact, World War III.”
In a follow-up interview with Sean Hannity, Gingrich went further, suggesting that the U.S. needed a more aggressive military posture. “
Being Americans, we prosecute wars to win them, not tohave ‘reasonable response,’ not to have ‘appropriate levels of retaliation,’” he said. “Our theory is you start bombing our cities; we’re going to defeat you and make it impossible.”

Gingrich is the ultimate intelligent idiot with narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies. Well at least he will get a bunker as president so that he can hide while he turns the planet into a ball of irradiated ash.
Gingrich is a very dangerous person. If you think things are bad now, if he becomes the leader of anything important- like a COUNTRY- you better watch out. Life as we know it will be over.
