He's in Congress and doesn't know what the casualty and wounded figures are for our troops fighting in Iraq. This is a shameful performance for any member of Congress and especially a war hawk. Gingrey makes a remark about the defeatist---Democratic talking heads that go on teevee, but he's either lying or can't be bothered to take one minute of his time to accurately report the devastation that has been inflicted on our troops.
