Yesterday, the print edition of the Inquirer had a story on the speech. It quoted Rick as saying that Americans have soured on the war in Iraq because they do not understand it as part of a long and necessary fight against "Islamic fascist forces bent on destroying democracy-and the White House is partially to blame for not articulating the stakes" ..."It's as if FDR were to define World War II as 'war on blitzkrieg' a military tactic". They also reported him saying that the conduct of the war was "less than optimal" and that "maybe some blame could be laid" at the White House". I never buy the Inquirer; the only reason I did yesterday was to see this story.
Santorum is going to have to put all transcripts of his press statements on line. He's going to have to make the rounds of talk shows and do everything he can to bypass the LSM.
