...horrify even those allies that worked with the U.S. in Iraq, starting with Britain. A related State Department transgression, for Gingrich, is that its "invention of a quartet for Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations defies everything the United States has learned about France, Russia, and the United Nations.
