The question is should we end the war, here are the answers (paraphrased)

Pawlenty: we were justified in invading Afghanistan, Obama is moving out too fast.

Romney: We should draw down when we have made Afghanistan ready for us to draw down. The Generals should make the decision, not me.

Gingrich (asked about Lybia) This is a gotcha question, You should have asked it better. We need to rethink Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran. we need a serious national debate.

Huntsman (asked if he would consider cyber attacks as an act of war) Absolutely, and then he went on to make a case for government regulating the internet and spying on us. For our protection of course

Pawlenty: We need to make sure Iran doesn't get nuclear weapons by sanctions, etc... we should also get involved in Syria, and do whatever Israel Ron Paul

Ron Paul: There is no evidence Iran is working on a nuclear weapon, look at all the Nuclear weapons surrounding Iran, of course they would want a weapon, why shouldn't we talk to them. Policy of peace is free trade, stay out of external conflicts, and bring our troops home. (LOUD APPLAUSE)

Chris Wallace didn't like Paul's response so he chose to grind it further

Paul: the soviets and the chinese are much greater dangers....going to 30 or 40 year wars don't work. (loud applause)

Santorum: Iran is not iceland, they have been at war with us since 1979, (chris wallace tells the crowd to shut-up)

Ron Paul: The senator is wrong, we have been at war a lot longer than 1979, we started it in 1953 when we sent in the coup, and the blowback happened in 1979, and it's been going on and on and on because we don't mind our own business. (loud applause)

Cain: (will more domestic oil production in this country convince Tehran not to pursue a nuclear weapon) Cain talks about Iran's danger to Israel. He also chastises Iran for not doing what the U.S. tells it to do. There is more to foreign policy than bombs and bullets
