Peggy Noonan Signals The GOP Alternative To The Deficit Scare

The rapidly falling US budget deficit requires the GOP to come up with a new strategy.  Peggy Noonan, who is one of the Wall Street Journal's best editorial writers, can be depended upon to signal strategy directions in her favorite party.  The GOP has three presidential scandals that might replace their out of control federal spending strategy.  Peggy Noonan's recent editorial about the attack on the US Embassy in Lybia is part of that strategy.  She argues that the president decided not to send help to the US Embassy that was under attack because he believed that it would hurt his chances in the election.  Kevin Drum cannot believe that the cynicism of Peggy Noonan and the WSJ has gone that far.  He has no love for Dick Cheney but he does not believe that he, or others in the GOP that he does not like, would by so cynical.
