Take Time for This one.. I encourage you to take the time to watch this video....it's not politically slanted, but rather a blunt and chilling answer to a serious question posed to Newt Gingrich. It's a clearly worded warning I have yet heard from any public figure concerning the state of world affairs. This is one the most powerful and articulate summaries of the dangers of our current situation that I have ever heard, and a mystery to me why this is not painfully aware to every American and a subject of constant discussion.

While I agree with Gingrich, this specific presentation is light on solutions.

Yea.....it's bad.....and I for one have gotten to the point of making plans for family and friends....were to go...and how to live.....after the 'day of the attack'....assuming we don't go out with the first flash.....

9-11 was just the first move....and the county won't act....until....that bad day comes....and then will over react right after to the detriment of all of us....So the terrorists will have won on two 'fronts'........Actually successfully attacking us....and getting us to deny ourselves all our precious liberties....in a last minute attempt to "save them"....

Gingrich tells it like it is. What I like about him is that he does his research and then tells what he thinks versus just spouting off at the mouth.

Haven't the Republicans been telling us for years that if we just spend a few trillion more dollars on defense contractors we will all be safe. How come the can't beat off a rag tag group of Muslim misfits?

You failed the first test of "know your enemy." They're much more organized, indoctrinated and better funded than you seem to give them credit for being. That's Gingrich's point.

I didn't realize that the US is the one forcing the other countries of the world to rely on oil for energy for our own greedy purposes. For a country that drives the drug trade, we seem to share an awful lot with the other countries of the world.
