Mike Huckabee on Saddam’s WMDs, round 1:

RUSSERT: Governor Huckabee, was the war a good idea, and is it worth the cost in blood and treasure?

HUCKABEE: I supported the president when he led us into this, as did the Democrats. And I think we owe him not a lot of scorn; we owe him our thanks that he had the courage to recognize there was a potential of weapons of mass destruction, and whether than wait until we had another attack, he went and made sure that it wasn’t going to happen from Saddam Hussein.

Now, everybody can look back and say, ‘Oh, well, we didn’t find the weapons.’ It doesn’t mean they weren’t there. Just because you didn’t find every Easter egg didn’t mean that it wasn’t planted.

Umm, Mike, what about when you don’t find a single Easter egg? Could that possibly be a sign? From on high?

But Mike was on a roll. He rolled neatly on into round 2:

After the debate, Huckabee actually managed to make it worse.

Chris Matthews, to his credit, asked Huckabee about his inexplicable WMD remarks, which are obviously and demonstrably false.

The clip shows Huckabee arguing that there’s a “good chance” Saddam’s WMD “may have gone to Jordan.” Jordan? Are you kidding me? Isn’t the talking point for right-wing loonies that the WMD were sent to Syria?

Mike, old bean, Jordan makes no sense. But maybe you meant they went from Iraq to North Dakota to Louisiana?

Maybe I need to update my Concise History of WMD Pretenses?
