Rick Santorum kicked off his campaign for president by blasting President Obama’s horrendous strategy to fight ISIS. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, the former senator said that Obama is more interested in fighting a “public relations war than a real war.”

“This is a public relations war that the president is fighting, he’s not fighting a real war. We’re not doing any substantial damage on the air against ISIS.”
His solution is based on a little thing Obama’s sorely missing: common sense.
“We have to step up the bombing campaign, and you can’t do that unless you have more boots on the ground so you have an understanding of the targeting, you have an understanding of the coordination of troops. That’s a whole combination of things.”
Before MSNBC ran off with that and pretended Santorum called for World War III he added:
“I’m not calling for a major invasion force, but many of the generals who have been commenting on this have suggested we have to double or triple the 3,000 that we have there on the ground right now to provide effective support for those who are fighting.”
As regular readers of PJ Media know, I’m a Ted Cruz guy, but Santorum deserves major props for saying what has to be said on Obama’s failing ISIS-strategy… and for suggesting an alternate approach that could actually work.

Rick Santorum is not the guy that I would go to for leadership in war time.
He is unprincipled and an opportunistic kind of wimpy guy, who is far more liberal than his few fans realize.
Watch out ISIS, here comes Hillary!
Yesterday after he announced, a local TV station asked its viewers if they thought he could win the White House. Last I saw, something like 95% said no.
If he can't win statewide for Senator or Governor, then he can't win the state in a Presidential election. PA could be a major swing state in 2016.
SUaGA!!!
Sweaterman Speaks!
Rick, it’s all in which side of the war hussein is on.
Rick Santorum won 4 races out of 5, and the one he lost was in a year that was tough for Republicans.
