Republicans clashed with Ron Paul over the issue of Iraq in tonight's debate.
Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate for President who says that American troops should leave Iraq as soon as possible.
Paul said that U.S. military presence in Iraq antagonizing the people in the region and U.S. presence in Saudi Arabia was part of the reason for 9/11.
Paul was then asked "Are we supposed to take our orders then from Al Qaeda?"
"No!" Paul said "we take our orders from the constitution," noting that the Iraq War was illegal in both American and International Law.
Later Paul and Mike Huckabee clashed over what should be done about Iraq.
Paul said that it was the Neo Conservatives that lead the U.S. into the war. Huckabee said that "we are one nation under god" and that we should stay united.
Paul said that when elected representatives make a mistake it is the obligation of the American people to hold their elected leaders accountable and vote them out of office if they make a mistake.
