.: US News - Lame Duck Bush Flies to Asia -- GOP Happy to Be As Far Away From Bush :. .: All American Patriots :.: "GOP Senator Rick Santorum: Distancing Himself From Bush on Iraq War. "Sen. Rick Santorum took a rare swing Friday at President Bush, saying the war in Iraq has been less than optimal and that some blame for that lies with the White House. Santorum, a conservative Republican and usually a strong Bush ally, said the unpopularity of the war should be shared between the White House and the media. 'Certainly, mistakes were made,' Santorum said of the war's conduct... The comments, made after a Veterans Day speech at the Union League in Philadelphia, came at the same time the Pennsylvania senator stressed he wasn't trying to distance himself from the president, who spoke moments earlier about 80 miles away at the Tobyhanna Army Depot."
