GOP Hopefuls Debate In Iowa
Attacks Are Mostly Aimed at Democrats

The lone voice in continued opposition to the war, Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.), was again outspoken about America's involvement.

"Just come home. We just marched in. We can just come back," he said. "It's lasting way too long. We didn't declare war in Korea or Vietnam. The wars were never really ended. We lose those wars. We're losing this one. We shouldn't be there. We ought to just come home."

The audience of Iowa Republicans responded with a mix of applause and boos.

The beauty of partisan politics. I wonder how many of those who boo'd knew that the Iraq regime change was first conceived under the Clinton administration. I wonder how many of those who boo'd think this war in Iraq is for combatting terrorism, to make sure we're safe and have our freedoms here. This war isn't for us. It's for the elite. It's an "elite war", period.
