Huck In '92: U.S. Should Not Kill Saddam Hussein

By Eric Kleefeld - December 11, 2007, 3:04PM

Here's another gem of a quote from Mike Huckabee's 1992 run for the Senate, in addition to his call for quarantining AIDS patients. As the world was settling into the post-Gulf War sanctions regime, he opposed taking any further military action against Saddam Hussein — and he phrased it in the most isolationist of terms.

In a candidate questionnaire from the Associated Press, one of the questions was whether the U.S. should kill Hussein. Huck's response: "The U.S. should not kill Saddam Hussein or anyone else."

Just imagine the outrage from the hard right if Ron Paul, for example, were to have said the same thing.

Only sensible thing he said yet.

1. The right wing loons are going to dislike that

Not the evangelicals, but the wanna be neocons and nationalist types. What Huckabee said is rooted in law.
