Fred Thompson, the politician and actor considering a White House bid, said Friday he favors helping the Iranian people overthrow the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad if the chance arises.
The former Tennessee senator accused Tehran of "playing a larger part in killing our soldiers" in neighboring Iraq.
Many Iranians don't like their government, "and I think we ought to capitalize on that," Thompson told The Associated Press. "There is a chance they may mobilize themselves, and we need to assist them if that happens."
Some public opinion polls show Thompson registering in the double digits even though he hasn't announced his political plans. On Friday, he deflected questions about a White House run.
"I have a general idea in my mind" about the timing of a decision, he said, "but I'm not discussing it right now."
Thompson and former Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., spoke to about 100 guests invited by Electronic Data Systems Corp. at the company's professional golf tournament.
Bradley, who ran for president in 2000, tweaked his former Senate colleague a couple times about the White House flirtation.

Ya know, the word amazing does not seem to be appropriate.
Im thinking horror, abhorrent, abomination, atrocity, monstrous, (phrase) reoccurring nightmare, repulsion, revulsion, terrorist....
Yea, that's more like it.

I like him and he also has a great last name, same as mine.
President Thompson sound really good to me.
For what it’s worth, Fred’s comments about Iran illustrate his recognition that Iran is a problem and that it would be a good thing to get rid of their current government.
That’s not a bad attitude for a president to have.
“I’m a little disturbed he appeared on “Roseanne” in 1989.”
1989: The internet was basically unknown. GHWB was President. The world did not yet know the names Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp. Usama bin Laden was mostly unknown.
You want to bring up Fred Thompson’s appearance on some TV show? What’s with you?

Bush should have put a military style government in control in Iraq and then taken out Iran from two sides, then taken on Syria and pulled out.
Instead he enmeshed us in a DIFFICULT social experiment we can’t afford to loose. Thompson has my total support
Are YOU a voter who wants a candidate that...

This man is Fred Thompson.....<
That man is identical to DUNCAN HUNTER, except Duncan Hunter also 13)is aware of and capable of improving our trade problems with China; 14) Will pare back the roll of government in our lives; 15) Is innovative in solving the income tax problem; 16) Has military experience, 17) and many years of successvully serving as past chairman and now ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, and 18)thus has working relationships with the Military strategists; 19) Knows the ropes of getting things done in Washington; 20) Is every inch (all 6’4” of him) a patriot who will put his country before all else as President of the U.S.A..
Both good men, but DUNCAN HUNTER IS THE MAN!
I’m a little disturbed that Ronald Reagan once acted with a monkey, but I still voted for him. ;)
Aaaah Fred has got to announce soon, I cant take the suspense anymore!! :)
The neat thing was that the story was told in a movie named MARIE, and everyone was played by an actor except for the Fred Thompson part. He wound up playing himself, which was really exciting. Thusly, his career as an actor was born.
