Candidates for the 2008 presidential election are stepping up their campaigning… and a candidate looking for the Republican bid stopped in St. Louis this week. When it comes to the hotbutton controversy in Iraq, Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee says it is critical to develop regional military support and get other local countries involved. He says the Iraqi government needs to get organized and realize U.S. troops won’t be there forever. But Huckabee says that doesn’t mean he supports any timeline for troop withdrawal. Governor Huckabee adds that actions speak louder than words.
