DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican presidential contenders sparred over abortion on Sunday while generally agreeing the United States must remain in Iraq to help win the War on Terror.
Arizona Sen. John McCain, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the most prominent contenders, agreed the United States must remain in Iraq.
So, too, did Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson and Reps. Tom Tancredo of Colorado and Duncan Hunter of California.
"I firmly believe that the challenge for the 21st century is a challenge against radical extremism," McCain said. He forecast a battle in the Senate in September in which anti-war critics will try to cut off funds.
