Why is this a good move by Santorum?
He is NOT stating that Iraq was a year away from a nuke. He IS saying the Bush admin are bumbling idiots for putting the info out.
Santorum is desperate and is whoring for Dem votes. He knows he is about to lose. I expect after he is out of the Senate he will be one of those "true" conservatives who wind up bashing our side at every turn.
He is saying the Bush admin are bumbling idiots for putting the info out -and- that he had already warned them to not do something like this, but they did so anyway due to apparent carelessness.
So, it's an even more damning attack by Santorum.
I think Santorum is trying to inoculate himself from charges that his legislation caused the release of this information to the Web. Read it carefully before you jump all over him. There is such a thing as good legislation that gets badly implemented.
