Gingrich Blasts Obama’s Apology to Karzai

Republican White House hopeful Newt Gingrich has angrily denounced President Obama's apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai over the burning of Korans at a U.S. military base.

The former speaker took to his Twitter feed to condemn Obama's letter to Karzai, saying: "It is an outrage that on the day an Afghan soldier murders two American troops, Pres. Obama is the one apologizing."

The incident at Bagram Air Base triggered a violent response from Afghans, with 14 dead over three days of protests. Two American soldiers were shot dead when an Afghan soldier turned his weapon on them at their base in Khogyani in eastern Nangarhar province, district governor Mohammad Hassan told AFP.

lol, Gingrich is a clown. And for those who want to listen to him, just note that no matter what the white house does, he'll come up with some way to get a sound bite in. Similar to how he debates issues; he'll go with whatever position fits the audience then gerrymander some facts to support it. 100% clown.

I don't like Gingrich but he is 100% correct in calling out Obama. Obama is a little girl.

hmmm, lets see. Went into Pakistan and got Bin Laden. Continues to go into Pakistan, despite diplomatic outrage, to take out more terrorists. Taking out terrorists in Africa. Taking on piracy. Playing an intense chess game with Iran. Took down dictators in Libya and Egypt, thus continuing the "arab spring" that conservatives had been touting. Doesn't sound like a little girl record to me.

Let me get this right. He jumps to apologize about this book but yet I have heard nothing of them apologizing about the 2 soliders that were killed in the riots over this. Whose side is he on?
