 Fred Thompson Contorts Over Bin LadenPosted on Sep 10, 2007
Fred Thompson has just barely entered the race, but he’s already stepped in it. First the candidate painted Osama bin Laden as an irrelevant figure, but later said he had to be “caught and killed.” Then, after more reflection, he said bin Laden should get due process, which an aide later defined as Gitmo-style interrogation.

Give the guy a break. He didn’t see the script until right before the walk-through and had to ad-lib a couple of the lines. Remember he is an ACTOR. A person who creates a fictional character and convinces people that it is real and that what the character says is the truth. It’s called ‘suspension of disbelief.’ Get used to it, because this jerk is gonna be the GOP candidate in 2008.

Another menace in the making. Probably no one will notice the snafus. Look at Bush’s wild VFW statement about 1500 al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) taken out by American troops per month from the beginning of 2007. According to Wikipedia, there are from 850 to 2000 al Qaeda in Iraq. Did anyone notice?

Does anybody out there know that bin Laden family is one of the closest friends of the Bush family? The two families worked together for years to capture a good portion of the oil in the Middle East. Does anybody know that at the time of 9\11 the bin Laden family was a house quest of the Bush family? Does anybody know that no civilian airplanes were allowed to fly after 9\11? (Only military jets and the private bin Laden jet getting the hell out of the US were allowed to fly) Does anybody know that bin Laden was treated at a US army hospital in Saudi Arabia for a serious illness after 9\11? Does anybody know anything?

Republicans waited and waited for the emergence of this Big White Dope? It’s like a taller, balder, less coherent W.

RAE:
I think quite possibly what he means is “it takes one to know one.” He does support the Council of Foreign Affairs agenda. You know, the undermining of the sovereignty of America.

Damn there are an awful lot of people shooting off their mouths before they’ve loaded their brains!
“For anyone to suggest that we shouldnt squeeze out every last bit of intelligence information has absolutely no understanding how to fight a long term global war on terrorism, spokesman Todd Harris said.”
Oh.. and YOU DO? When and where did you learn “how to fight a long term global war on terrorism?”
