NY Sun: Rudy promises more war to refocus campaign
Giuliani Will Back a 'Surge' in Afghanistan
To Refocus Campaign With New War Strategy

By ELI LAKE
Staff Reporter of the Sun
January 2, 2008

WASHINGTON — Mayor Giuliani will announce a new four-point war strategy in New Hampshire today, an effort to refocus a primary campaign season for Republicans that has centered in recent weeks less on foreign affairs and more on immigration and domestic issues.

Specifically, Mr. Giuliani will call for a new military surge in Afghanistan, a change in the way America's spies are promoted so that officers are rewarded for finding actionable intelligence and not just the number of agents they recruit, and a new war on Al Qaeda's intricate network of Web sites, sites used both to communicate with its agents in the field and to recruit new jihadis.

<snip>

His plan is divided into four major themes: expanding the military, improving intelligence, homeland security, and winning the war of ideas against radical Islam. The speech differs in emphasis in important ways from Mr. Giuliani's essay in Foreign Affairs from September, in that it focuses exclusively on what Mr. Giuliani calls the "terrorists' war on us."

2. Will Rudy lead the charge?
I suppose his campaign can recycle his infamous 911 photo-op dust march into an Afghanistani patrol march.
"Now where did I put that darn command center???"
..and those damn spies! Rudy can get Bernie Kerik back in action - now there's a real James Bond! Bernie will put the "OH JAMES!" back in the vernacular of spying!
Good to see that Rudy still has some comedy left in him!
