Newt: Second phase of Iraq "failure"

In New Hampshire.

On the Human Events website he lays out a vision of an aggressive move in Iraq reminiscent of George Washington crossing the Delaware and 11 important questions regarding the Iraq Study Group Report.

He has several good points. Admitting failure in the context of willingness to change, rather than quit, is productive. Newt is no cut and runner for sure.

He also points out what to many of us is obvious: Iran and Syria are not ran by dullards, but rather by shrewd men who know their region - they also cannot be trusted; there are components of the democratic majority the administration and republicans can work with to obtain our goals in Iraq, and; the changes have to be big, bold and decisive.

Go Newt.
