Washington — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Thursday the Bush administration is waging a "phony war" on terrorism, warning that the country is losing ground against the kind of Islamic radicals who attacked the country on Sept. 11, 2001.

A more effective approach, said Gingrich, would begin with a national energy strategy aimed at weaning the country from its reliance on imported oil and some of the regimes that petro-dollars support.

"None of you should believe we are winning this war. There is no evidence that we are winning this war," the ex-Georgian told a group of about 300 students attending a conference for collegiate conservatives.

"I believe we need to find leaders who are prepared to tell the truth ... about the failures of the performance of Republicans ... failed bureaucracies ... about how dangerous the world is," he said when asked what kind of Republican he would back for president.

Hmmm, John Edwards got toasted for basically saying the same thing. The hypocrite Gingrich like all broken clocks, can be right twice a day. Love him or hate him, mostly hate him, I have to admit Newt has the most substance out of all the GOP Presidential wannabees.

3. Oddly enough, I took his use of 'phoney war' to be a historical allusion.
