LAS VEGAS - In the Nevada Senate debate here last week, Republican Sharron Angle had an opportunity to expound on her views on the initial decision to invade Iraq after her Democratic opponent, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, responded to a question about his infamous 2007 comment that the Iraq war was "lost."
But instead of seizing the opportunity to clarify her views, Angle essentially punted. "Well, I don't have the access to special security briefings like the senator does, and I didn't get to vote for either one of those wars like the senator did," she said before transitioning into a generic statement of support for the military and veterans.
...Though she has spoken little about her foreign policy views since gaining the GOP nomination, there are hints that Angle may be more philosophically aligned with the Bush/Cheney brand of neoconservatism than she is with the noninterventionist, classically conservative tradition.
Before becoming the GOP Senate nominee in June, Angle's campaign web site declared the war on terror to be "the central challenge of our time" and used language that harkened the views of prominent neoconservatives from the Bush administration.

This is off topic and I used to know this but who and when did the TEA party movement seriously get going?
I know where every last DemonCRAP stands on foreign policy.
Just vote the corrupt ^traitorous^ bastards OUT!!
Paul Revere and the raiders. 1773
To me, the #1 foreign policy issue is the border. The rest is BS. As proved by W.
Time to take this crap up was a year ago!
Hit pieces are expected the day before the election. Vote for Angle Now. Whine to your Rat buddies later.
Now is not the time for negativity unless you are a troll.
It doesn’t look like a hit piece to me.
Angle comes out well in this article. Did you read it?
Rand Paul, on the other hand, does not.
Because on foreign policy, he’s like his Dad.
Worse than the dummy-craps.
And that we do not need.
It will be interesting watching the debate on FR which way the movements go.
LOL, I knew that part.
Good or bad, we have made our choices for representatives. Any try to make last minute comparisons and evaluations is folly. Again, if we want to discuss potential issues that may arise tomorrow between those we are trying to elect today; the weasels slip in and make our potential future differences moot.
Go Angle - She needs our help as she is running against corruption of the worst kind.
It’s close for Angle and I truly hope she wins it.
This isn’t a last-minute analysis. The article is dated OCT. 21 and I just found it.
It’s good to have the important issues on the table as one decides, imo, and this is in Angle’s favor!!
There will be plenty of time for fighting amongst ourselves after we defeat the enemy.
Vote the corrupt bastards OUT!!
Rand is not just like his father on foreign policy. He’s stated his willingness to take out specific threats. I do however believe that he’s wise in his assessment that the wars are one of the biggest, money-sucking problems contributing to our massive deficit. You may not agree, but it’s ridiculous to assume that our foreign policy can continue on like it is. Wake up!
