Advisers to Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama say that the candidates have watched security conditions improve after the troop escalation in Iraq and concluded that it would be folly not to acknowledge those gains.

No. Ron Paul's beliefs and actions re: the war have nothing to do with political expediency and everything to do with his principles and the Constitution. I am, of course, happiest if everyone comes home from Iraq alive and healthy, and if things improve before we can get our troops home, then no one is worse off (I'm sure that RP would agree).

We can't afford this empire regardless if everything is going chummy or not.... we are going broke... our future is being flushed down the drain... we need to stop the empire, it is destroying our republic. We are going the way of Rome.

In addition to the obvious financial problem with the war per se, as well as the war's illegality-- remember, too, that Hillary and Obama are both getting briefings from the White House. Ron Paul has said he will not attend those briefings because they are simply propaganda.
