Newt Gingrich: 'We are not safe'

POLITICO 44-Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday night that Americans are less “safe” than they were a year ago.

During an interview with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly, the former Republican congressman from Georgia said - “We are not safe. We are in much greater danger than we were a year ago,” Gingrich said, though adding that “it’s not just Bush vs. Obama.”

“The North Koreans had an additional year to build missiles,” he said. “Iranians had an additional year to develop their nuclear weapons and keep paying for terrorists. Al Qaeda had an additional year. And by the way, two of the top four people in Al Qaeda in Yemen were released from Guantanamo Bay.”
