Do you also watch? Try Oliver Stone's "The Untold History of the United States". He obviously has a very dull axe to grind but makes some very good points; many of which I and probably Stormin' Norman know to be correct since we lived it.
If you do watch it - and I urge everyone to do so - you'll wind up with a much better understanding of why we are where we are today.
Of course I have no idea what Roosevelt knew
but with Gingrich it's an easy case because we have all read his Tweet.
In my book when Gingrich did not say one word in praise of America but instead called Japan's attack "brilliant" he's a traitor.
Had he used the word "evil" instead I'd not have gotten upset.
In my book it was a sneak attack in no way different from "911".
That said, had Japan won the war, they'd be calling the shots now, and had the war ended in victory for them, then the Japanese might look at it as brilliant. That did not happen.
Put it this way concerning Newt:
When Trump lied during his campaign, afterwards, Gingrich called it a good campaign "device" .
But yes you do have a point but nothing will change my mind as to what a low-life Gingrich is.
Anyone who stabs someone in the back with a knife is a coward.
People who commit suicide are the biggest cowards of them all.
Thank you. No matter how crappy of an argument I made, what Gingrich said just plain did not come out right.
Bottom line though: he had zero praise for America
I think I've heard that too.
BTW: When I was a kid, the guy next door was stationed at Pearl Harbor.
He was below deck pressing his pants. After the heard the explosions, he came up and the whole top of the ship was heavily damaged. Sure wish I could remember what ship he was on...but I assure you he would have puked to have seen Gingrich's Tweet.
Right now I am re-living WWII
I'm in the middle of The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer
I had seen the movie many years ago and have forgotten it...but the book is absolutely brilliant.
If anyone here would have been reading the book when Newt made that statement. they'd be just as upset as I was.
Yep he's a very ill individual.
That said, I see Trump is getting some criticism for surrounding himself with a lot of retired top-brass.
Truth is I think that may not be a bad move as they know the consequences of war. It's the civilians such as Newt who would have washed out of basic training who are all too eager to send other people's kids off to war.
On Twitter statement do in fact just pop out of the blue so to speak.
The others here have posted a separate Tweet he made. When both Tweets are taken together as a whole, it makes no difference.
War is always hell
Thanks. Gingrich's statement was just not the thing to do.
My issue was not only calling the dastardly attack "brilliant", it was that he completely ignored America
I am not talking about Obama, we are now done with him...but we do have
4 or 8 more years with Trump and his crew.For the most part they are a bunch of gutless, spineless ass kissers.
Where the hell is Teddy Roosevelt...at least he said "bully."
Ok thanks
Two points of order, net nannying, whatever you eant to call it.
Why?
There were about a half dozen radar sites on Oahu at the time, none at Wheeler AFB (there was one at adjacent Schofield buy I don't know if it was operational); both are in the center of Oahu. The one that picked up planes was Opana Radar Site which was near Kahuku which is at the NE tip of Oahu.
I am glad you qualified it with "that day" else I might have had to mutter, "Nanjing" (et al).
As far as attacking civilians goes, would you consider the day & night bombing - up to 2000 bombers per day - of German cities to be the act of terrorists? How about the fire bonbing of Hamburg? Of Dresden? Of Tokyo? Hiroshima & Nagasaki, terroristic acts?

Excepting as noted, it's highly unlikely just such a sentence would be the result on its own, and...
as it turns out it wasn't. I saw the other comment and while alone it still isn't anything offensive to anybody but somebody looking to be offended, it is then with the earlier very clear that Newt was putting out a serious warning on a serious day about being caught unprepared (yet) again...which is the sort of think I'd think/expect from Newt; as said, whether you agree/disagree with his politics, he's no dummy.
Clearly you can't see the forest for the trees in letting your personal dislike cloud any judgment on content. "Shoot the messenger, it _might_ be good news!"
But, continue to rail at your heart's content for what good it does...you probably should as I suggested earlier, ignore all such postings; you'll only be upset for no purpose otherwise.
They killed 1178 servicemen while we were not prepared. They sunk ships so they could not be used in the war. On that day they kicked out ass.
I don't think he was praising, but made an accurate statement. Perhaps the delivery could have been better, but he was correct.
