Who Is The Anti-Something Or Other?

When The New York Times Magazine, in March, did their tongue-in-cheek-hit-piece titled "The Anti Obama" Newt Gingrich probably wasn't surprised.

Although he has been as consistent as Rush Limbaugh, Newt has been all the more diplomatic. So why on earth did The Times story demonize Newt, replete with a magazine cover that does the same?

Simple. Newt has graciously come against many of the present U.S. administration's key policies while at the same time agreeing on those (albeit few) policies that his opinion won't change.

The newest point made by Newt, however, isn't being heard on American soil and in my opinion Mr. Gingrich needs to speak a bit more bolder. The issue is about how the present U.S. administration is pushing Israel 'out in the cold' and the potentially catastrophic result it will produce.

"There's almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world," Newt Gingrich told The Jerusalem Post in an interview last week.

Foreign affairs analysts and political pundits alike agree. In the new book "The Late Great State Of Israel" Aaron Klein makes the point that ignoring the problem in Israel will only force Israel to defend itself in the harshest way: a preeminent attack on Iran before Iran does, what it has threaten to do, destroy Israel. Klein further makes the point that Jerusalem has already been divided and that the 'land for peace' bargaining chip never really worked and never will.
The book, that almost seems like an after-read once you have re-read "The Late Great Planet Earth" by Hal Lindsey, was endorsed by Lindsey himself. Hal has said it is a "must-read for anyone seeking to understand the Mideast."

If Gingrich, Klein and others are right, however, you may not have enough time to read the book. Circumstances are changing so fast it may be a book historians will be referring to; with future generations, and possibly even The New York Times, referring to Obama as the anti-something-or-other.
