The second in a two-part special this week on the Iraq war and the presidential race! We look now at the Republican candidates…who have been mostly supportive of going to Iraq in the first place, but critical of how the war has been handled since. Their positions run the gamut from immediate troop withdrawal to staying the course to a three state, one country solution to a gradual draw down of troops in favor of more Iraqi responsibility and involvement. Our guests will flesh out the differences and similarities of the candidates in the Republican field.
