Newt Gingrich on 'Meet the Press': Country less safe with Obama as President

GREGORY: Do you agree with the Vice-President when he says that the country is less safe under President Obama?

NEWT: Absolutely.... the question is: is the most important thing to us today to find some kind of American Civil Liberties Union model of making sure that we never offend terrorists, or is the model for us today is to say to the CIA and others: "Do everything you can to cover America. We're gonna cover your back. We are proud of you, and we want you to defend America."

GREGORY: How long should Gitmo remain open?

NEWT: Until the war's over.

GREGORY: When is that?

NEWT: Until the terrorists disappear.
