In June, Santorum and Michigan Rep. Pete Hoekstra claimed that we had found WMD in Iraq. Of course, it wasn't true and the claim was shot down by a Dept. of Defense spokesperson almost as soon as the pair made it. But that hasn't stopped Santorum from pretending that the discovery of WMD has justified the war he still supports.
Here's a Point/Counterpoint featuring PA Senator Rick Santorum and President George W. Bush (my transcript follows the video):
TRANSCRIPT:
[Rick Santorum on 'HardBall']
SANTORUM: Having a major military power, like Iraq did, which had chemical weapons -- which, which we have now found...
[Bush at press conference]
BUSH: The main reason we went into Iraq, at the time, was that we thought they had weapons of mass destruction. Turns out, he didn't...
[Rick Santorum on 'HardBall']
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Was there a connection between Iraq and 9/11? Any connection?
SANTORUM: All, all, I, I, I don't think we know that...
[Bush at press conference]
BUSH: [to reporter] What did Iraq have to do with what?
REPORTER: The attack on the World Trade Center.
BUSH: Nothing!
Santorum's behind in polling right now. You'd think someone from his campaign would take that shovel away from him -- he's digging himself in pretty deep.

classic Santorum....
he just can't help showing how stupid he is.
I loved your "...lost a fair fight with a pretzel" comment on huffingtonpost.
You are quite sharp with the quip.
