Gingrich Quote Taken Out of Context?

A lot has been made of Newt Gingrich's quote that the U.S. occupation of Iraq in 2003 was a mistake and that we should pull our forces out. On Sean Hannity's radio program today, Gingrich said that there were five reporters covering his speech and the one that everyone has been reading and quoting on blogs took his quote completely out of context. I only heard about a minute of the interview, so I missed his full explanation, but I'm inclined to give Newt the benefit of the doubt until I hear exactly what he said (maybe it's my reluctance to believe anything reporters say these days).

I'm guessing he will be on Hannity & Colmes tonight to clarify.
