Fred sounded clueless on Iran....like he didn’t know what to do. The Iranians have been smuggling weapons/IEDs to Iraq that kill our soldiers...and he’d let it continue.
He is not clueless on Iran. Its silly to even think that a candidate would play his hand on a difficult and complex issue like Iran on Leno.
I my opinion you sound clueless on what wisdom is.
I thought Fred would actively support revolution in Iran.
“Fred sounded clueless on Iran....like he didn’t know what to do. The Iranians have been smuggling weapons/IEDs to Iraq that kill our soldiers...and he’d let it continue.”
If you know me (a combat arms vet with the majority of his family in Israel), you know I take Iran seriously.
Fred was just being coy and reasonable. He knows what he has to do -— and giving revolution a chance (and some help) is reasonable -— for now.
Thompson isn’t clueless on Iran. He wants to support an internal regime change, while at the same time making preparations for a military strike together with Israel. You should look up the remarks he made on Iran. He is serious on Iran.
On fox recently, Fred was asked if he would support a pre-emptive strike on Iran if it looked like they were going to get a nuke. And he had a One word answer “YES”, no dancing around, no muddying the waters, just “YES”. Clearly from what he said on Leno, he would like to see if regime change is possible first (something Bush has failed to do), before destroying the country. But, he clearly is ready to bomb Iran if it comes down to it.
I love the way Leno ended up looking like a puppy begging for a dog biscuit, as he kept trying to get Fred to announce his run for president, it made Fred look in control and gave him added gravitas.
