Former Gov. Mike Huckabee announced last month that he was forming an exploratory committee and considering a run for the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

Friday, Huckabee made a stop in New Hampshire, his first as a contender for the Republican Party.

Speaking to business leaders at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, Huckabee greeted his guests.

The core of his message dealt with the war in Iraq and how the U.S. is at war with a shameful enemy and he says despite the debate in Washington over the war, Americans must support U.S. troops.

Huckabee says, “What you don't want to do is undermine those guys who are right over there right now. Some of those guys are from my state; support for them is unquestionable."

The former governor left Nashua and traveled to Manchester, N.H., where he will speak at the Merrimack restaurant.
