Newt Gingrich, discussing his book, Days of Infamy:
This is … one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger. And therefore, the better they’ve done at making sure there isn’t an attack, the easier it is to say, “Well, there never was going to be an attack anyway.” And it’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.
We’re so good at keeping you safe that you think we suck; so, we’ll let a few people get blown up just to prove that you’re wrong.
Speaking of Newts.
