Nov 30, 2007: Rudy Giuliani on Iraq
Rudy Giuliani said yesterday he "never had any doubt" that if he were President four years ago, he would have invaded Iraq.

Oct 29, 2007: Hillary Clinton is no hawk
I know reporters like to put sharp edges on less-than-clear positions, but Jim VandeHei and John F. Harris go too far when they say: "Liberal Democrats will have to get over it: Clinton is an authentic hawk." I am reminded of the late Sen. Lloyd Bentsen's 1988 quip to Sen. Dan Quayle in the 1988 vice presidential debate.

Oct 3, 2007: Remarks of Senator Barack Obama: A New Beginning
Here's what I'll say as President: America seeks a world in which there are no nuclear weapons. We will not pursue unilateral disarmament. As long as nuclear weapons exist, we'll retain a strong nuclear deterrent.
