Elliott Abrams' remembrance is quite vivid:
"Here is Gingrich:
“Measured against the scale and momentum of the Soviet empire’s challenge, the Reagan administration has failed, is failing, and without a dramatic change in strategy will continue to fail. . . . President Reagan is clearly failing.”
Why? This was due partly to “his administration’s weak policies, which are inadequate and will ultimately fail”; partly to CIA, State, and Defense, which “have no strategies to defeat the empire.”
But of course “the burden of this failure frankly must be placed first on President Reagan.”"
Not quite Newt Gingrich wrapping himself in the mantle of President Ronald Reagan, is it?
What's Newt going to do with this?
