Retreat in Iraq, Make War on Pakistan!

Newt Gingrich makes the case that the debate on what we should do about the war in Iraq should involve a serious discussion about the consequences of an American defeat.

What is even more interesting than the case that Newt makes is the content of a Liberal who goes by the name of "pbilger." Pbilger seems to make a snide comment about each of Newt's video clips, but this one is so incredibly stupid that it deserves recording for all time:

You just don't get it Newt. "It is believed that al-Qaeda has in fact regrouped in Pakistan-Afghanistan border region and now poses a more direct threat, particularly to the United States as well as the UK". By Gordon Corere BBC Senior Security counter-terrorist Official 10-23-06. I think the Dem's have it right. Bring home the troops from Iraq and re-group in Afghanistan march into Pakistan and take out Al-Qaeda. That's what we should of done in the first place.

The ability to - on the one hand - decide that we can't win in Iraq with a population of 20 million whose most sophisticated weapons are IEDs and suicide bombers, and - on the other hand - seriously propose that we attack a country with a population of about 170 million people armed with nuclear weapons is so insane that we know that "pbilger" is in the mainstream of Liberal thought.
