Who's More Pro-War?

Romney and McCain are now arguing over who is more pro-war: Romney, who says the surge is apparently working, or McCain, who says that it is not apparently working, but absolutely, positively, unquestionably, how-dare-you-suggest-otherwise working.

Now Paul is being addressed again, about minimizing the bloodbath if we pull out, leaving troops in the region, etc. "The people who say there will be a bloodbath are the ones who said it would be a cakewalk." Huge applause from the audience. "Yes, I would leave. I would leave completely." Points out that one of the reasons we were attacked on 9/11 was because of our troops on the Arabian Peninsula. Points out, also, that sabre-rattling toward Iran is making us less safe. "We need a new foreign policy that says we ought to mind our own business, bring our troops home, defend our borders" -- MASSIVE applause. This is a pro-Paul audience.

Moderators are now trying to bait Paul, say we're taking marching orders from al-Qaeda. Paul says no, this is taking our marching orders from the Constitution, which says war has to be declared. Ghouliani-ites and Fox Fascists are booing this response.

Brownback is now blithering. Says he wants a political surge. Maybe he should suggest having the U.S. federal government rebuild the Iraqi family...
