It's the Beginning of WWIII, Gingrich Says
Susan Jones
Senior Editor
(CNSNews.com) - Sunday wasn't the fifth day of war in the Middle East - it's the 58th year of extremist efforts to destroy the State of Israel, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on Sunday.
"The Israelis withdrew from Gaza to create the circumstance of peace. The Israelis withdrew from South Lebanon to create the circumstance of peace. They now have a thousand missiles fired from Gaza. They've had hundreds of missiles fired from South Lebanon."
Gingrich, speaking on NBC's "Face the Nation," said there's clearly been Iranian involvement in the attacks on Israel.
"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 Hizballah, getting rid of all 10-13,000 missiles - and we will decisively stop any effort by Syria and Iran to intervene.'"
Gingrich listed all the world's trouble spots, including North Korea firing missiles; the bombing in Mumbai, India; a war in Afghanistan, where the terrorists take refuge in Pakistan; the Iran-Syria-Hamas-Hizballah alliance; the war in Iraq and the Saudi Arabia; funded by Saudi Arabia and concerns about various terror groups in Britain, Canada, and the U.S.
"We're in the early stages of what I would describe as a Third World War, and frankly our bureaucracies are not responding fast enough, and we don't have the right attitude about this."
Gingrich said the U.S. ought to be helping the Lebanese government eliminate Hizballah as a military force in south Lebanon.
