Rick Santorum claims Obama is faking attacks on ISIS

And this assclown has declared he's going to run for president?

Rick Santorum: Obama Is Faking War With ISIS, Allowing Persecution Of Christians

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 12/15/2014 2:20 pm

In an interview on the Family Research Council’s “Washington Watch” program this weekend, Rick Santorum expressed his anger that President Obama hasn’t deployed the same resources to fight ISIS as the U.S. did in the Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He told FRC President Tony Perkins that Obama, who has launched over 1,000 airstrikes against the self-proclaimed Islamic State, delivered a “muted” response to the militant group and has no intention to destroy it. The former Pennsylvania senator said that this same lack of political will and urgency was the reason that the U.S. failed in Vietnam: This is not an attempt by the president to defeat ISIS, it’s an attempt by the president to convince America that he’s trying to do something and by flying these very limited strikes that are having no tactical success because they’re not sufficient to achieve any tactical victories. So you have a political war, in a sense. If you go back and look at the war that I grew up with as a kid, which was Vietnam, you didn’t have a commitment, you didn’t have a commitment by the political leadership to have success. Santorum and Perkins then agreed that Obama’s supposed “assault” on religious freedom in the U.S. is also permitting extremists to violently persecute Christians in the Middle East.

Only Rick Perry is smarter than he is, and that's only because of his glasses.
