Sunday, July 16, 2006 3:56 p.m. EDT Gingrich Says World War III Has Begun World War III has begun, and the nationâs leadership is failing to deal with this reality, former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich concludes. Appearing on NBCâs Meet the Press with Tim Russert Sunday, Gingrich explained that "today is not the fifth day of the war, itâs the 58th year of the effort by those who want to destroy Israel. As Ahmadinejad, the head of Iran, says, he wants to defeat the Americans and eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. So we should not see this event in isolation. There is an ... Iran/Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas alliance trying to destroy Israel.â ". . . the Israelis withdrew from Gaza to create the circumstance of peace. The Israelis withdrew from south Lebanon to create the circumstance of peace,â Gingrich continued. "They now have a thousand missiles fired from Gaza, theyâve had hundreds of missiles fired from south Lebanon. You clearly have Iranian involvement. There are at least 400 Iranian guards in south Lebanon. Apparently it was an Iranian missile fired by Iranians which hit an Israeli warship yesterday. The United States should be saying to Syria and Iran, 'South Lebanon is going to be cleared out. We are for Israel and the Lebanese government breaking the back of Hezbollah, getting rid of all 10,000 to 13,000 missiles, and we will decisively stop any effort by Syria and Iran to intervene.'â Gingrich says the current crisis facing Israel is part of a larger world war that involved the U.S. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/7/16/155736.shtml
"In addition, he said "there is the war in Iraq funded largely from Saudi Arabia and supplied largely from Syria and Iran.â" Why would the NEOCON butt buddies of the saudis do anything at all? After all they're all in it together to enrich themselves.
