Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told “Fox News Sunday” that he would have disabled the long-range missile before North Korea launched it, saying too many people “do not appreciate the scale of the threat that is evolving on the planet.” “One morning, just like 9/11, there’s going to be a disaster,” Gingrich said. “I have yet to see the United Nations do anything effective with either Iran or North Korea.” - Snip
Poster Comment: This comment should serve as a reminder why Gingrich & company have been relegated to political obscurity.

What is he? Some kind of comic book superhero? I have this image of him flying across the Pacific a la Superman and landing at the launch site just in the nick of time. Newt is a man who had way more than 15 minutes of fame and SHOULD HAVE HAD only nanoseconds of it.

I just love it when Newt talks all scary and sciencey.
I'd be more than willing to let him squat over the top of the launch silo and take one for the team.
nice visual ;)
I love tough talk from someone who knows war only by lectures and course work. He can stick his talk up his arse w/his Contract on America.
Hey, Newt, how many nuclear weapons does Israel have?
Thank you. I liked it too. I credit this being the Sabbath for my inspiration.
Israel and nukes isn't an area that is pursued among the Washington elite. It's a given they are allowed to own as many as they can produce.
Israel has had them and hasn't used them. So far they have been trustworthy in that respect. Unlike Iran who wants to nuke our beloved Israel. I had to throw in beloved. :)
Why doesn't anyone complain about Frances nukes?
Probably because France isn't a war-mongering nation like Israel.
Yes. There is only one nation which has proven that it can't be trusted not to use them. Ask the Japanese which one it is.
