This is a good mention:
Democrats have picked an unlikely ally in efforts to end the Iraq War. Or maybe it’s the ally who has chosen them.
But either way, it appears maverick conservative Republican — and
presidential contender — Ron Paul of Texas, will be getting plenty of
help from anti-war Democrats on his proposal (HR 2605) to repeal
President Bush’s authority to use force in Iraq within six months.
Democrats find it strange that Paul, who sounds like his GOP
colleagues on a lot of other issues — like his staunch opposition to
tax increases, for instance — would speak against Democrats’ timetable
for withdrawal from Iraq (HR 2956). But the truth is, Paul prefers a
tougher approach — an immediate withdrawal, which he believes would
happen once the president’s authority to wage war has been revoked.
