Seriously...I can't believe this comment. It's insulting to the intelligence of the people.

BUT, do you think this statement reflects Fred Thompson's laid-back, cool communication style...or is it more a reflection of his ignorance of the issues?

Fred Thompson, yet another right-wing coward who spent his youth hiding from military service.

It makes me sick when cowards, like george w. bush, dick Cheney and fred thompson talk about the nobility of this stinking war. They are all cowards, liars and hypocrites.

US kids fall behind other countries in Jihad. America! Make sure "No child is left behind".

Princep, the Bosnian Serb who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, led to the start of WW1 was a kid led by deranged adults.

General Tommy Franks calls them "angry young men." Send Ann Coulter to any college in America and you'll see the same type of anger, but our kids don't have their own AK-47's and suicide vests.

Thanks Mr. Thompson. I am sure the families of our brave military will be glad to hear their sons and daughters were killed by some crazy kids.

Thompson's not entirely wrong here. World War I and II, Korea and Viet Nam were all fought by "kids". I remember hearing it often, "our kids are fighting and dieing in Viet Nam." A standard adage about war is "old men sending young men to fight." These are 18-21 year olds for the most part doing the fighting and dieing in Iraq, on all sides. To me, at my age, they are kids. Hell, at Thompson's age even his wife is a "kid."

thus spake the horse's assssssssssssssssss

Thompson speaks as if he has just emerged from a very long self-imposed historical amnesia, still making references to the Soviet Union. "A bunch of kids?" Well, a bunch of kids have succeeded in defining the template of American foreign policy! What a sophomoric neophyte!

Clueless!

Thompson, in every way, is irrelevant. The only relevant presidential candidates are Clinton and Guiliani.

According to Bush they're just "folks"

"Saddam lured everybody into believing he had weapons of mass destruction, which he had had previously, no question about it, he had used them against his own people," Thompson said.

I saw an interview with Saddam just before we invaded and he was asked point blank whether he had them or not. His answer was "No". And pointed to the U.N. inspectors, who had found no evidence and the fact that they had unrestricted access in the country, as proof.

Of course it could have been a lie (now proven to have been the truth) but clearly to Fred, "No" means "Yes". I wonder if he used the same philosophy as a teenager on dates.

Alexander the Great began to conquer East Asia at age 14.

The average Iraqi is age 15.

Many insurgents are Iraqi ex-army but you had better believe their little brothers are helping.

The insurgency is just a bunch of kids.

And I thought they were a threat to the safety of our troops! Whew!

Well, if that's the case, let's just let their parents keep them under their control and bring our troops home.

Hes one dumb fuck. Go play in bed with your toy before Clinton spots her.
