Please help me understand why the American news media gave candidate George W. Bush a free ride EVERY TIME he ran. Also, if you could shed some light on why McSame can demonstrate — on a regular basis — that he can’t tell the Sunnis from the Shi’a in Iraq, but he’s still somehow qualified to be POTUS.

He ain't called "newt" for nothing. Who, besides the rabid right wing neocons like Hannity, care what Newt’s opinion is on anything.

I have never heard of 1,000 members of a US infantry division, which numbers about 15,000, deserting when going into combat including several high ranking officers. And from what I read al Maliki's Iraqi soldiers (aka Badr Brigade) who did not desert, fought poorly. Newt doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.
