(CNN) – Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson has weighed in on the death of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
“This is a war that we’re engaged in. It’s an international conflict,” said Thompson. “It’s a global conflict. Al Qaeda wants to bring Western civilization to its knees.”
Thompson also told reporters Thursday that he thinks “terrorism has never left the agenda” of the 2008 presidential race. “This is no time for on-the-job training,” added the former Tennessee senator, emphasizing the need for experience....

Looking forward to the Al-Qaeda endorsement.
Candidate Thompson did well tonight!
Fred is the man we need in the White House! GO FRED!
FRED THOMPSON - NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERT (I’ll protect the American people and American values, whatever it takes to stop the Islamic-Fascists including water-boarding) - 2ND AMENDMENT ADVOCATE (arming the People to disarm criminals) – INCREASE THE MILITARY’S STRENGTH AND SIZE (giving those brave men and women a Commander in Chief to be proud of) - SECURE AND SEAL THE BORDERS (don’t give sanctuary anywhere to illegal’s, don’t employ illegal’s, don’t rent to illegal’s, don’t extend credit to illegal’s, don’t give illegal’s rights they don’t deserve, report all crimes committed by illegal’s and deport those illegal’s who have already committed crimes against America) - LAW AND ORDER (enforcement first and foremost with laws currently on the books) – DENY FEDERAL DOLLARS TO SANCTUARY CITIES (enough is enough) – CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES FOR SUPREMES (those who will interpret the law, not create rights that do not exist) – PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE (nominate superior Constitutional Justices to overturn Roe vs Wade) - SOCIAL SECURITY REFORMER (reform a broken program that can’t sustain itself and will bankrupt future generations, with the added benefit of private savings accounts) - DEFEAT ANY DEMOCRAT AND RINO (any fool DemocRATS put up) – TAX SIMPLIFICATION (variety of choice for the tax payer) - WON’T PUT UP WITH CRAP FROM THE MSM (including stupid questions by moderators and pundits) - “WE THE PEOPLE” CANDIDATE (We the People asked him to run and he stepped up) - PING!
I'd like to see that expanded a little. How about, 'arming the People to disarm criminals and making available to the general populace superior weaponry to deal with domestic terrorists whereever and whenever they may be found.
I’m not familiar with what Fred did in the 90s when in the Senate with AQ. Fill me in.
So far he is NOT on my list of GOP potential nominees whom I absolutely will NOT vote for in November (if there was a Conservative alternative), were he to get nominated.
A former CIA officer recalls what happened when Thompson and seven other members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Committee visited Pakistan in late 2002.
“The other senators, including John Edwards, attended the classified intelligence briefing,” the former officer says. “Thompson blew it off and spent a lot of time drinking and eating.”
Keep that up, and I just MIGHT retract my #10 just now.
I dont like that kinda crap.
Have seen that on visiting "CODELs" and you always know who the workers are and who the sluff offs are.
Of course, I will NEVER support Romney, so dont git your hopes up too high. ;-)
You have used the plural incorrectly - imagine how that will translate into Arabic (or Urdu)
Well, at least now you are fixated on Fred's diet instead of his wife's boobs. A step up to be sure.
The "former officer" forgot to say that the "drinking and eating" was with Musharraf. McCain was with him too. I wonder how much time Romney has spent with Musharraf?
Wouldn’t mater how it is translated, it will be translated as they wish it to be translated.
I’m always open to new clarifications.

Meanwhile back at the fort,Romney was getting ready for his next tanning session.
If the story is true, which I doubt, depending on where it is done, one could learn a lot more about what is going on while eating and drinking in a foreign country. Briefings tend to be scripted and censored. I dare say Fred ain't perfect. But put him beside --Ron Paul;--Mitt Romney:--Rudy;--McCain:--Huckster. Fred's record in the Senate is pretty conservative. He is consistently against abortion. But the thing I like best is the fact that (according to a recent interview with Charlie Rose) Fred knows the meaning of Conservative principles, where they were derived, and the difference between principles and issues--which Charlie certainly didn't. Fred is also a member of The Federalist Society, which strictly interprets the constitution.
