Let's review Newt's words about Libya.

“Prior to March 3rd, the United States should have taken a quiet, careful, indirect route that would have gotten rid of Gadhafi, but without using American force and without using overt American action,” Gingrich said. “After March 3rd, when President Obama himself said – and this is his own words – ‘Gadhafi must go’ … the only rational purpose the United States could engage right now – because of the president’s own words – is to get rid of Gadhafi and replace his government.”

Gingrich said there is no logic to talking about protecting the Libyan nation, because “there is no Libyan nation, there’s a collection of tribes.”

“It is a society that is pre-national in its organizational structure, and we ought to be much more realistic about what we are dealing with,” he said.
