More War: Paul vs. Huck

Brownback wants to stay in Iraq and the Middle East permanently, "invited" by the Kurds and the various Iraqi regions. (The Rebuilder makes a concession to reality and realizes that partition is the most likely fate for Iraq.)

Huckabee: "We have to consider the surge." Uses the old Colin Powell / John Kerry line about "you break it, you bought it." Grief.

Big back-and-forth between Huck and Paul. Goes something like this:

Ron Paul: "The American people didn't go in. ... A small number of people called the neoconservatives hijacked our foreign policy ..."

Huckabee: "We have to be one nation. We can't be divided."

Paul: "When we make a mistake, it's the obligation of the people, acting through their representatives, to correct the mistake, not continue it."

Huck is talking about "honor." Paul asks him how many Americans we have to lose to "save face."
