With his candidacy cratering in multiple polls, Rudy Giuliani has hit on a new campaign strategy designed to turn things around: He's calling for more war on multiple fronts.

The New York Sun has the scoop on his new approach:

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.

What's interesting is that the Rudy foreign policy adviser who leaked this to The Sun is being very explicit about the fact that this shift in direction reflects a belief within the Rudy camp that the Bhutto assassination has given him a political opening to turn things around:............

5. In his latest TV ad here in Florida he barely gets 2 words out of
his mouth before he invokes 9/11. Literally! 2 words is all before "9/11, 9/11, 9/11"!

He's toast.

8. I hope he hits the ground running, with his ill-advised plan.
Americans are sick of the war. I guess he doesn't pay attention to the polls.

You Go, Rudy! Keep up the push for more WAR!
