President Gingrich: 'I would move the embassy to Jerusalem & appoint Bolton as my Secretary of State!'

"... Newt Gingrich, addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition candidates' forum Wednesday, threw out several red meat appeals targeted to his conservative, pro-Israel audience. Gingrich supplied his proposals in characteristically sweeping remarks that sometimes seemed to veer all over the place.

Gingrich also vowed that within two hours of his inauguration, he'd order that the U.S. embassy in Israel be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That proposal won rousing applause from the RJC crowd.

"I would appoint John Bolton as my Secretary of State," Gingrich said, to more thunderous applause. Bolton, a Republican arms-control hawk, frequently advocates that the United States or Israel launch a pre-emptive military strike on Iran. ..."
