Gingrich urges U.S.: Get tough with Iran

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says it's time for the United States to get tough with Iran's Islamic theocracy.

Speaking before a conservative public policy group Wednesday, Gingrich said Americans should take Iranian leaders' threats seriously, before they acquire nuclear weapons.

"We have real enemies and they would like to kill us," said Gingrich, the Georgia Republican who engineered a GOP congressional takeover in 1994.

Gingrich, attending the Maine Heritage Center Policy Center's annual luncheon, said it's time for Americans to "profoundly rethink" their position on Iran and be prepared to take all necessary steps to safeguard the United States.

1. The question still stands: With What, genius?
We're so busy being hailed as libberators in Iraq and having things go swimmingly in Afghanistan, after all.

2. No doubt
Member's of Maine's "Heritage" Center are all lining up at the Army Recruiting station to put their manliness where there ignorance is.

6. Five years of Bush and everything is Bill Clinton's fault?
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 10:28 AM by Eugene
Newt has joined in on rewriting history of the hunt for Bin Laden.
If you don't want to crush Iran, you are an appeaser.

Just spewing the party line.

7. Sleazebag Newt keeps trying to get his name in the headlines.
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 10:03 AM by lpbk2713


As if he has a shot at winning any sort of election. His reputation precedes him.

9. He's from my old voting district; the Dem now has his offices!
Steve Sinton, a co-founder of Air America Radio, now uses Newt's old offices for his campaign headquarters.

Hopefully he takes down that thug Price (met him, normal idiot fundie Republican), and slaps Gingrich in the face over this.

16. Gingrich couldn't "get tough" if his life depended on it.
He's like one of those small, yappy dogs that can barely chew their own food but pretend to be dangerous.

19. "Get tough," Newt? Like you did with your first wife?
Critics of Gingrich have long made much of the insensitivity he demonstrated in serving his first wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital being treated for cancer. Nor did news of his efforts to cut life insurance coverage for the mother of his children always endear Gingrich to his family values supporters, but it was generally assumed that his marital errors were in the past.

Robert Scheer

Yeah, Newt. That took a lot of guts...:eyes:

21. Why don't YOU go "get tough" with Iran, Newt?
Why don't you flog our own flabby ass out the door of the LCI and up the beaches with an M-16 in one hand and a copy of your latest book in the other?

Why don't you rip open your flak jacket to reveal the milky all-American Republican man-tits beneath? Terrorists would flee in nauseated horror and you could make the world safe for democracy all by your little intern-banging wife-deserting arrogant little shitstained self!!

How 'bout it, Newtie? Are you man enough to take the man-tits out on parade?
