Thompson: ‘The Whole’ Middle East ‘Will Become Nuclearized’ If We Redeploy From Iraq
Thompson: ‘The Whole’ Middle East ‘Will Become Nuclearized’ If We Redeploy From Iraq
Former Sen. Fred Thompson has regularly fearmongered about terrorist threats. In June, he warned that undocumented immigration could lead to “suitcase bombs” from Cuba and alleged that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) call to redeploy from Iraq was “encouraging our enemies.”
Taking his fearmongering to new heights, yesterday on Hannity and Colmes, Thompson claimed that withdrawal from Iraq would lead to “the whole” Middle East going “nuclear”:
If we leave [Iraq] under bad circumstances, we’re going to have a haven down there for terrorists. The whole area, I’m afraid, will become nuclearized. The Sunni countries are looking at what Iran is doing. And if we can’t help with stability in that part of the world, they’re going to help themselves, and they’re going to go nuclear.
Watch it:
Thompson added al Qaeda was actively seeking nuclear weapons as reason to stay in Iraq. “We have al Qaeda out there we know trying to get nuclear weapons,” he claimed. “We have 40 countries that have fissile material that could make a bomb.”
Thompson’s fearmongering is reminiscent of the Bush administration’s pre-war attempts to conflate weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein, and al Qaeda into one. In his State of the Union address in 2003, two months prior to the invasion, President Bush declared:
Evidence from intelligence sources, secret communications, and statements by people now in custody reveal that Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists, including members of al Qaeda. Secretly, and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists, or help them develop their own.
In reality, al Qaeda never chased the nuclear weapons that Hussein didn’t have. The U.S. presence in Iraq is fueling al Qaeda’s growth, not preventing it.

September 4th, 2007 at 2:36 pmThat’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:36 pmHURRY TRAITOROUS WINGNUTS!!
Get in on the dirty money that can be made behind the scenes!!
You know you want to.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:36 pm9/11! 9/11! Nuclear! Terror! Run for your lives unless you allow the GOP to protect us (as they did in the months before 9/11).
How much more fear mongering is the American populace going to stand for?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:37 pmDisregard #2. I hit the wrong comment thread.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:38 pm“The Sunni countries are looking at what Iran is doing.”
So, you mean Saudi, the giant Sunni government we just gave 20 billion to? Or you mean Syria, the country that allows us to run military prisons on their soil?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:38 pmWe’re the only nuke-u-lar country to have ever delivered the bomb, killing hundreds of thousands of innocents.
We have NO RIGHT to dictate who “goes” nuclear.
It’ll happen regardless, stupid Neocons.
Now, go run to Shrubs leg and begin your ritualistic humping, hoping the great wimp can protect you!!!

September 4th, 2007 at 2:41 pm“We have al Qaeda out there we know trying to get nuclear weapons,†he claimed. “We have 40 countries that have fissile material that could make a bomb.â€
He then added, “And those kids that keep playing on my lawn…I’ll teach them.”
He is so creepy…
September 4th, 2007 at 2:42 pmI can just hear the dueling banjos ringing out in the background accompanying Thompson’s every word.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:42 pmThe whole area, I’m afraid, will become nuclearized.
He’s right. I’d forgotten about all those door-to-door searches for cascading uranium hexaflouride centrifuges our troops were conducting.
Dumbass.

The responses on this thread by the anti-national security progtards are proof positive that progressives are dangerous to the well-being of the US. What Thompson said didn’t make him a genius–it merely confirmed what intelligent, aware and engaged Americans already know, that pulling out of Iraq will destabilize the ME even further. The fact that progtards here don’t exercise intellectual honesty and admit to the truth in Thompson’s observation really confirms how radicalized and extreme the ideology of progressives is. Progtards still drink their ideological kool-aid by denying that a premature pullout from Iraq will cause the region to become nuclearized. The progtards are so mentally ill (like Savage observes) that they assume a US pullout will equal: automatic harmony between different branches of Islam, an Iran which will stop its nuclear buildup (because the US presence “fueld” Iran’s nuke ambitions), and immediate stopping of the civilian slaughter in Iraq!
September 4th, 2007 at 2:43 pmThey need WMD just to protect themselfs from American aggression - SO WHAT
September 4th, 2007 at 2:45 pm“We have al Qaeda out there we know trying to get nuclear weapons,†he claimed. “We have 40 countries that have fissile material that could make a bomb.â€
Name ten that are not direct allies of the US (like Saudi) and do not get their weaponry directly from the US (like Egypt, Israel, Libya, Saudi, etc.)

It’s true. I read it in a script once.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:46 pmAnd the warmongering propaganda campaign against Iran has begun.
When these fools pursue their wars, they do nothing but create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:46 pmIsn’t it Nu-ku-larized?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:47 pmNo, #16. Aware people don’t listen to political spin and talking points. They talk with vets and people who were there - and not just for the dog and pony part.
We’ve destroyed a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 (you remember, the reason we invaded Iraq to start with?), killed untold thousands of innocent people and probably created thousands of new terrorists where there were none before. Why? For oil and greed.
Try to think for a change. I know it’s difficult when you’re fed a line of crap a minute, but give it a shot.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:48 pmWell if they want nuclearizing then we’re gonna have to charge extra.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:48 pmWith what else would they arm their fleet of idle ICBMs?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pmWE COULD HAVE HAD A NUCLEAR WEAPONS FREE WORLD IF NOT FOR BUSH
In 2005, Mohamed ElBaradei was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his outstanding work in the international control of nuclear weapons. In 2003, ElBaradei had proposed a verifiable ban on the production of weapons-grade fissile material – a positive move that would severely limit the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
In a vote of the Disarmament Committee of the United Nations (UN), one and only one nation voted against ElBaradei’s proposal – George Bush’s America. In that same vote, Israel abstained, apparently fearing international interference with their own outlaw nuclear weapons program, and Britain abstained in an act of diplomatic fealty to the “special relationship” between Tony Blair and George Bush. The final tally was 147 nations to one with the two abstentions. In a later vote of the entire UN General Assembly, Israel and Britain abstained, while America and Palau voted against ElBaradei’s verifiable ban on fission, and 179 nations voted in favor of his proposal. The final vote on that occasion was 179 in favor, two opposed (U.S. and Palau), and two abstentions (Israel and Britain).
ElBaradei’s proposal would monitor all nuclear fission and guarantee that non-nuclear weapons states would be able to obtain adequate supplies for their nonmilitary usage of enriched plutonium.
One nation has publicly accepted ElBaradei’s proposal: Iran.

What? Both of them? And how do they “know” this? Did they buy one of those bars of allonegodlovefaith soap and actually read the label?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pm.
How does the US determine who is allowed to have nuclear weapons? Pakistan has nukes, but that’s OK, because we are “allies”. But their sworn enemy is India, and we give them nukes. We have to make sure Iran doesn’t get nukes, because we are worried about Israel. But Israel already has nukes, so those Iranian nukes would be meaningless.

Maybe it’s like One-Hour Martinizing. Or in this case, “Thompsonizing”.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:52 pmThompson will say anything to get elected, like the rest of the Republicans in the race (and not a few Democrats) but he is like Gertrude Stein’s description of Oakland - ‘there is no there, there.’
I am always amazed by the overweening and unsubstantiated ego of these men - I know many people who are smarter, more honest, better educated, have more experience in managing people and business, and much more common sense than all of the Republican candiates. But they don’t have the delusional idea that they are suited to be leader of the free world (even tho some of them are infinitely more qualified.)
P.S. Ignore the troll.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:52 pmAnd if we can’t help with stability in that part of the world …
Uh, you already can’t do anything about stability in that part of the world, you impotent jerk. This isn’t a move.

So in order to be patriots, we have to become cowards like you, and fear tiny nations with no long range weaponry or means to deliver it, nor space programs to track and guide them, and no boats to go pick them up with when they land in the middle of the Baltic sea?
Is that what it takes to be a republican? To just be afraid of everything?
September 4th, 2007 at 2:53 pmGuess Freddy Flintstone has woke up from his 6 month lomng nap, took a look around and decided he would try the cnadidate thingie, might even get him another movie or tv gig.
But don’t read anything, Fred, God forbid you might actually do some research before you throw out your talking points?
He will get tired and take another snooze on the back porch as soon as he figures out he will have to actually CAMPAIGN AWAY from Hollywood…… Like in a debate, or maybe a town hall meeting.
September 4th, 2007 at 2:53 pmSo if we poke a hornet’s nest with a stick in the middle of a burning house (that we started on fire), do we stay there and keep poking the nest and let the burning house collapse around us? Or do we pull the stick out, take our stings and let the house burn?
That’s the situation in a nutshell.
Of course, the answer would be: DON’T SET THE FREAKING HOUSE ON FIRE!!!

September 4th, 2007 at 2:54 pmThe Proglibs are the only Americans we fear. The republicans have let us have our way in every situation (I miss Don Rumsfeld), and if the Liberals win the next elections, we here in the oil-lands will be in real trouble, knowing that they will get right to work on alternative fuels, thereby taking away our only bagaining chip. what are we going to do, sell sand? This is no good the progressives are a danger to the survival of Al Qaeda, and we really need another tool like Fred Thompson in office to keep our power growing and our boots on the nuts of American politicians on the Right. If America pulls out of Iraq, where will we train our warriors? Without the criminally inept leadership of our buddy George Bush, we’ll get our asses kicked out of Iraq in weeks, and we’ll be hounded and chased throughout the Middle East! This is so unfair. The GOP have let us be, and let us grow, and we need them! Don’t let us down, you brave 25%ers, we rely on your lockstep ignorance and cowardice for our very survival! it’s only because of you Bush supporters that we have been able to gain such momentum, please, please elect another shill like Fred!
September 4th, 2007 at 2:54 pmOne positive thing I can say about Fred: at least he can pronounce “nuclear”.

September 4th, 2007 at 3:00 pmHow does Thompson know that a fully-nuclearated ME would be a bad thing, anyway? Typical Republican doom-and-gloomer.
September 4th, 2007 at 3:01 pmOne way to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons and other WMD’s would be to have intelligence agents monitoring the trafficking in such weapons – in other words an operation such as the Brewster-Jennings Valerie Plame network that Cheney, Libby et al. destroyed. Fred, of course, has been a major contributor to Libby’s defense fund. Either Fred is brain dead or he’s cynically using the very problems that he has created to advance his own political agenda. I vote for the latter and think the whole cabal, including Thompson, belongs in prison as traitors.

September 4th, 2007 at 3:03 pmBARTLEBEE sez:
Yes, it’s positively psychotic, considering the facts of the case, but Thompson and his ilk aren’t concerned with facts. They’re concerned with emotions…xenophobia, blind patriotism, and unreasoning fear. That’s how his base determines which lever to pull in the voting booth, and Fred knows that all too well.
I would have loved to have been present at this interview, so I could have demanded that Fred produce some sort of evidence to back up his spurious fearmongering, and have Freddy boy call me a commie and an IslamoStalinist sympathizer for my trouble. Being called a traitor by this jingoistic fsck would be an absolute badge of honor.

The difference is the nature of the threat. If you live near a prison where a convicted murderer has recently escaped, and your local news says he may be in your neighborhood, that is a true threat. Fearmongering is when your local news service says that if you don’t lock your doors at night, every rapist, child molester, murderer out there will be roaming your streets, and it’s all your fault!

On 9-11-2001, a handful of terrorists from Saudi Arabia managed to kill 3000 Americans.

September 4th, 2007 at 3:25 pmCowards fear terrorism in a country like this. Cowards like you Ringo, Bush and the rest of your “Band of Mothers”
So tell you what. Why don’t you, Bush, Fred Thompson and the rest of you cowards who are soooooo afraid of the big bad terrorists, climb into an underground bunker, and hide?
We’ll call you when its safe to come out.
September 4th, 2007 at 3:26 pmIn his 1994 Senate campaign, Thompson parked his expensive luxury car a few blocks from each campaign event. He then changed into blue jeans and had one of his staffer’s drive him the last few blocks in an old pick-up truck so that he could pull up to the event and have people think he was a common man of the people. Kind of reminds you of George Bush living in a gated private community next to a golf course before he got into the Texas Governor’s mansion and then buying a phoney ranch with no cattle (former pig farm) in Texas with fake false-front buildings in 2000 so that he could act like a pretend cowboy and common man of the people. Both Bonzo and Fred are actors living in phoney scripted worlds but they’re not very good actors.

Why do you hate other women so much, Mighty Aphrodite? Is it because you secretly wish you were a man?
September 4th, 2007 at 3:29 pmThe progtards are so mentally ill (like Savage observes) that they assume a US pullout will equal: automatic harmony between different branches of Islam, an Iran which will stop its nuclear buildup (because the US presence “fueld†Iran’s nuke ambitions), and immediate stopping of the civilian slaughter in Iraq!
You obviously have no problem with having Michael Savage put words in your mouth. I do.
I make no claim to know what will happen. I know what has happened. And the fact is, that jingoistic, warmongering, failure of an administration has created more dichotomy, divisiveness, unrest, and illwill with its “fer us or agin us” approach to politics.

September 4th, 2007 at 3:43 pmIf Thompson is so all-fired consumed with the nuclear stakes in the mideast, why did he choose to abandon his U.S. senate seat?
More to the point, abandon his seat in a congress where the GOP held majorities in both Houses, and where the rubber hits the road.
Why did he forsake the opportunity to serve the country during these momentous times?
Why did he flee to Hollywood in order to play-act in a make believe world?
It’s a fair question.

Actually, between 2001 and 2003, Al-Qaeda was a pariah in the Middle East, and was diminishing rapidly. However, they are now using American action in Iraq as a recruitment tool.

Nice use of the “Republican Talking Points Lexicon” oddly enough many of the moderates and swing voters aren’t so sure about the ability of the republicans to adequately protect this country. They already dropped the ball to the tune of 3,000 dead, and made it worse with an ill advised invasion. I think you are hoping people will vote on that one issue, even though the republicans are largely not in control of that issue any more.

September 4th, 2007 at 4:07 pm#146 regarding the chilbot comment the answer to deliver is obvious. The only people I heard after 911 saying that we deserved it were the right wing religious nuts and their denizens who said that it was god lifting his protection from the US because we have accepted such bad things in our society such as homosexuals. Those are the people who truly hate the US more than anyone, the religious right who hate the fact that we have rights and freedoms here. They want the rights curtailed and the freedoms limited, which seems to fit in nicely with what they say AQ wants to do to us. What chilbot may be thinking of are those who discussed where US policy may have gone wrong in its application causing people to hate us. After all why would anyone hate a country that imposes it’s will upon the world? We do it for their own good (and lately for our god, because after all he really is ours…right?)
