In Debate, Republicans Make the Case for Staying in Iraq
On Iraq, only one candidate, Representative Ron Paul of Texas, advocated a withdrawal. “We’re losing this one,” Mr. Paul said. “We shouldn’t be there. We ought to just come home.”
But over all, the candidates were adamant about continuing the fight. “The reality is that you do not achieve peace through weakness and appeasement,” said Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York.
