Didn't Believe Me?

When we recently discussed World War III (HERE), I hadn't yet seen this one. Apparently, Newt is beating the drum, too.

[[ Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich says America is in World War III and President Bush should say so. In an interview in Bellevue this morning Gingrich said Bush should call a joint session of Congress the first week of September and talk about global military conflicts in much starker terms than have been heard from the president.

"We need to have the militancy that says 'We're not going to lose a city,' " Gingrich said. He talks about the need to recognize World War III as important for military strategy and political strategy.

"This is World War III," Gingrich said. And once that's accepted, he said calls for restraint would fall away:

"Israel wouldn't leave southern Lebanon as long as there was a single missile there. I would go in and clean them all out and I would announce that any Iranian airplane trying to bring missiles to re-supply them would be shot down. This idea that we have this one-sided war where the other team gets to plan how to kill us and we get to talk, is nuts." ]]

Yeah... nuts. Hmmmm... I wonder if any of the deranged far left in this country would fall into that catagory...?

Anyway, thank God that some smart people are starting to talk about this. We are facing an uphill battle, and the sooner people understand what's happening, the better.
