First Read smartly captures the insufferable yet somehow thoroughly enjoyable obscenity that is Newt Gingrich, so I'll just repost it:
In the past two days, Newt Gingrich has been clear that he thinks the Libya no-fly zone was a mistake. Yet, on March 7 he seemed to express support for a no-fly zone in Libya. The New York Times’ Shear: "President Obama should establish a no-fly zone over Libya 'this evening,' [Gingrich] said on Fox News. "All we have to do is suppress his air force, which we could do in minutes," he said. Yet on TODAY yesterday, Gingrich said, "I would not have intervened. I think there were a lot of other ways to affect Qaddafi. I think there are a lot of other allies in the region we could have worked with. I would not have used American and European forces".... Then, he attempted to deflect in a "clarification" on his Facebook page with a post titled, "My Position on Libya." His opening doesn’t address his own apparent inconsistency, but the president’s: "It is deeply troubling that there is so much confusion, lack of foresight, and little resolve coming from the President and his administration about what our mission and goals must be in the Libya engagement."
