GOP losing their faith in their leader

If you needed any further proof that the White House is in trouble, than Rick Santorum's breakout from the party line last week where he stated "mistakes were made" in the runup to war - there's this. Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, GOP obfuscator John Roberts says "that one lesson of the faulty prewar intelligence on Iraq is that senators would take a hard look at intelligence before voting to go to war."

Roberts is still hedging his bets though.

He said that agreement has been reached on the Phase 2 review that the intelligence panel is doing to look into whether the Bush administration exaggerated or misused prewar intelligence. The review may not be finished this year, he said.

Big surprise there. What do you want to bet it won't be "finished" before the midterm elections?
