Gingrich on Syria: "If the Russians get in the way, they're just going to get hit"

“We went through the entire Cold War with saber-rattling, but not firing on each other, and I don’t think they’re going to fire on us now,” Gingrich told host Sean Hannity. “The fact is, we have crossed a line – the president crossed this line. We are not going to tolerate Assad continuing to use chemical weapons.

“If Assad doesn’t use chemical weapons, my guess is everything will calm down,” Gingrich went on. “If he does use chemical weapons, I think we’re going to hit him again and if the Russians get in the way, they’re just going to get hit as part of the process.”

Gingrich added that he believes the best solution in Syria is for military rule to replace Assad, saying it would lead to “a more stable and more rational government.”
