(CBS News) CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says recent shifts by some of his rivals on the war in Afghanistan a sign that he's "winning the fight" with his signature hands-off foreign policy.

Paul won standing ovations from some 4,600 people Wednesday night at a University of Illinois rally -- his largest turnout ever -- for his calls to "bring our troops home!" He also told the crowd, made up mostly of college students, that "the other candidates on our side are saying we need to fight more wars."

Asked by National Journal/CBS News about recent comments by Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum that the United States should review its commitment in Afghanistan and possibly back off, Paul replied, "It's about time."

It's a shame that it took a massacre for them to see the light of day on this. There has been many untold incidents of collateral damage, involving many tens of thousands of innocent lives in both Afghan and Iraq, yet only now will they elect to ponder the occupying nature of our foreign affairs. Of course, this 'rethinking' is only for the Afghanistan intervention.:rolleyes: God forbid we start to tangle with Iran, these scum bags will be eating some major crow down the line.
