Santorum's resurrection

By Kathleen Parker

"Though he has tempered the pace of his caveats, Santorum is still deadly serious about growing threats to America's security, the greatest of which, he says, is Iran: "Afghanistan is important, but Iran is more important and we're fumbling."

President Obama, he says, doesn't have a plan other than talking, the consequences of which will be much more dire than a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.

While in the Senate, Santorum authored the Iran Freedom and Support Act, which called for $10 million to support groups opposed to the Tehran government. The bill passed but was never funded. Consequently, says Santorum, "When the revolution did come, we had done no spadework and had no way to support them other than to open up Twitter channels. We didn't do the work that could have made a huge difference."
