Giuliani's Iraq Policy

He has none right now. It's "in the hands of other people." More specifically:

"What I was trying to do was to look at the things, as best as you can predict it now, that are going to be there a year and a half from now. Iraq may get better; Iraq may get worse. We may be successful in Iraq; we may not be. I don’t know the answer to that. That’s in the hands of other people. But what we do know for sure is the terrorists are going to be at war with us a year, a year and a half from now."

So how does Iraq play into the broader struggle against Islamist terror? Has it helped or hurt? Where should we go from here? The country is at a vital cross-roads in this war and the GOP front-runner has no contribution to make as to what we should do. Romney and Thompson are just as vague. McCain and Paul are the only ones with the integrity and courage to speak to our moment. And that's why they are currently the only Republican candidates worthy of any respect.
