Paul's the only one who has equivocally said he would not invade Iraq, which is the only right answer.

Where's the option for the unrestrained warmongering neoliberal corporatist?

Bush really screwed that one up, and Rubio is a completely insane warmonger, so Paul wins by default.

By default, Rand Paul. Most other Republicans have chosen to defend the Great Mistake of George W. Bush.

Rand Paul has had handled this question the best, obviously. He's the only candidate who has been consistently opposed to the intervention.

What I find curious is that the others are stumbling over the question of "knowing what we know now, would you have invaded Iraq?" The answers have all demonstrated one thing - none of the leading GOP candidates learned anything from the disastrous Bush II foreign policy. They learned to answer that question with a "no since we had misleading intel." That misses the major issue here - would they pre-emptively invade a country to prevent or remove its chemical or WMD program? Yes, yes they would. And that's all we really need to know.

Paul

Jeb created the opening when he clearly hasnt learned the mistakes of his brother.

Hilary has stayed away from controversy; and right to lay low and let Paul lead the charge against Bush on that one.

But, it was a powerplay and created an opening Hilary needed; to even out Libya questions, without being in it.

Kind of a biased poll.
