Now the right wing asshats are going to suggest our intelligence services were all DUPED by the Iranians, just because the work of the PROFESSIONALS doesn't agree with the neocon agenda.
Beyond disgusting.
And right wing ***** are actually PROMOTING this ignorant old man. - Napoleone, on 12/06/2007, -3/+47How can Iran leak something our own spy agencies produced? Is Thompson suggesting Iran has infiltrated our security aparatus?
- toddcat, on 12/06/2007, -5/+41Well I guess Hollywood Fred has learnt how to keep a straight face while passing off complete BS......maybe he is a decent actor.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -9/+35Oh, for the love of God. Has anybody checked to see if there is any inbreeding in his family? Jesus Christ!
- backoff34, on 12/06/2007, -5/+25Jesus-*****-Christ....
These ***** Neocons have no shame. ***** can lie their way out of anything. Soon, Guiliani will be saying..."You can't trust the CIA, they obviously do not understand the dangers of terrorism and islamo-fascism." - MacSuxWindozSux, on 12/06/2007, -2/+21Of course Iran had the Intelligence documents...
They must have those "10 Million" lost Whitehouse emails too. - PATSCRU, on 12/06/2007, -1/+18There's a time when that word can be used subjectively, and without bias. A time when no other word in the english language can describe such asshatery. This is one of those times.
- bigp3rm, on 12/06/2007, -3/+18***** you.. Fred Thompson.
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -2/+15I'd like to know his opinion about the PROVEN and still under investigation infiltration of Israeli spy ring in US agencies?

(Wanted to link Fox, but my fox news bookmarks to those stories somehow don't work anymore) - Jareth86, on 12/06/2007, -4/+15My god, does he think Americans are really stupid enough to believe that?!
And he calls the idea of a nafta highway crazy... - Curlz31, on 12/06/2007, -3/+14I love it how they are all for conspiracies when it supports their own agenda, but when we scream 'North American Union' and 'Secret Government' all they have is ridicule.
- njection, on 12/06/2007, -6/+16Freaking puppet. Only spouting what's poured into his head.
- iefrkr, on 12/06/2007, -5/+15to distract the US...from bombing them for absolutely no reason?
sounds like a good idea to me. - ZenMojo, on 12/06/2007, -3/+12Pardon me for a second.
...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!! Eheh. Ahem. Heh. Ow, I think I broke something. - DeadElephantORG, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8Yes he does believe that Americans are stupid enough to believe that. And he's right. I still hear right-wingers say the we really did find weapons in Iraq. Nearly half of all Americans STILL believe that Sadaam was the mastermind of 9/11 - evidence be damned.
- sotopheavy, on 12/06/2007, -0/+7Fred Thompson is prepared to make the Chewbacca defense. "It doesn't make any sense!"
- bowens44, on 12/06/2007, -1/+8Are all republican politicians morons?
- odigity, on 12/06/2007, -0/+7News flash: He's not stupid, he's lying to cover for the people in charge because they are intent on attacking Iran. The GOP is entirely corrupt (except Ron Paul), as is the top people in the Democratic party. Look, these are powerful organizations. What did you expect but corruption? It's as reliable as entropy. The parties must go.
- fonebone2, on 12/06/2007, -0/+6Richard Nixon and I disagree. He may be lying to cover for the people in charge by he is also a stupid *****. He's got a Bush-level IQ but without the history of drug and alcohol abuse to justify it.
- sotopheavy, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5This is why he can't win. Neither him nor Huckabee nor Giuliani. Think about it there are 2 or 3 democratic and one republican candidate who aren't lying to us through their teeth. Kucinich, Obama, Paul. Two of those are talking about our national debt. Kucinich, Paul. I don't mean to be pushy, but they should run together and they need all the help they can get. Nobody is going to give it to them because they are honest and if anyone helps them it's because they are honest too.
- theeEqualizer, on 12/06/2007, -2/+7This is great. Now I get to say to the right wing, "Get out your tin foil hats. The Iranians are beaming false intelligence into our brains.They're hypnotizing American intelligence agents."
- DangerCollie, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Nice, Fred. You just demonstrated to the whole world you have the IQ of a bowl of lettuce. I'm sure McConnell is routinely briefing the Iranians on our NIE's, either that or the vast Iranian spy network has infiltrated Washington. Or am I giving away the plot for season 5?
- doctordbx, on 12/06/2007, -2/+6Is it possible that even with all this information coming to light you guys are still going to bomb Iran?
If so... what the ***** is going on? - fonebone2, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4What's ludicrous is the idea that we have hard evidence that Iran is trying to build a nuke but that all 16 US intelligence agencies are covering it up for them.
What's NOT ludicrous is the idea that Iran stopped building nukes in 2003 but that the neocon junta has been lying its ***** ass off about it ever since. - VitriolAndAngst, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4I'm going to digg you up, so everyone can see how much like a ***** clueless Nazi a typical NeoCon sounds.
Thanks for bringing the entire Jewish race into the argument -- is this like when we think Bush is a lying scum bag, we hate America, the troops, and God? - DangerCollie, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4My favorite neocon line is that the terrorists will follow us home. They're saying the billions we've spent on DHS and the TSA anal probe agency haven't bought us any real security.
- bowe, on 12/06/2007, -0/+4[colbert
It goes even deeper than Thompson knows. Not only did they intentionally leak out information about stopping their nuclear program. They actually went so far as to stop it so that our intelligence community would believe that they had stopped it. Nice try Iran, me and Tommy know that you only stopped so that you could say that you stopped, so that we'd think twice about blowing you up. Guess what, it's not going to work! Deep within the soul of the Iranian government there is a burning desire to have Nuclear weapons, they may do and say otherwise, but they can't fool Thompson, Miss Cleo, or me.
/colbert] - fonebone2, on 12/06/2007, -2/+6Awesome! So instead of bombing Iran for building nukes, we get to bomb them for infiltrating our intelligence agencies and releasing intelligence reports that Dick Cheney didn't want us to see. Brilliant!
Fred Thompson 4EVA - doctordbx, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3More than likely they're "we'll just say whatever... it doesn't have to make sense because it hasn't made sense for the last 7 and a half years and we still got to do everything we wanted... why bother trying?"
- thewump, on 12/06/2007, -2/+5The system is broken.
- odigity, on 12/06/2007, -7/+10Please vote Ron Paul. Please... I'm begging you, now.
- SuperCow1127, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3The NIE does not make claims of that magnitude based on the word of one foreigner from a hostile country. There is a reason US intelligence agencies have analysts that make work hard to make sense of the data our spies bring in, and it's not so Cheney can disregard them and draw his own conclusions from the raw data.
- Phrag, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3ac·ro·nym /ˈækrənɪm/ [ak-ruh-nim] –noun
1. a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words, as Wac from Women's Army Corps, OPEC from Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or loran from long-range navigation.
None of those words are acronyms. - MoreIntelligent, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3hey you forgot to mention.."You can't trust the CIA, 9/11, they obviously do not understand 9/11, the dangers 9/11, of terrorism 9/11, and islamo-fascism uh..9/11."
- amoro99, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3You are 100% correct. Why on earth should a presidential candidate be held to a higher standard than a random commenter on the internet?
- avengingturnip, on 12/06/2007, -0/+3Government of, by, and for the people, right?
- inactive, on 12/06/2007, -3/+5Sounds plausible to me!!
(/sarcasm for sheeple to will undoubtedly upmod me) - KhanneaSuntzu, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3You americans have a scary minority with a clearly psychotic sense of reality. Those wingnuts should be hospitalized ASAP.
- odigity, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Alright, I'll compromise. He's stupid AND a liar. We good?
- CeeAyy, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2They still have a lot of time left on the clock. The game is far from over.
- snatchmstr, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2No, all politicians are
- Bodhinature, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2What? Why are you sitting in that corner muttering to yourself?
- Tuto, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3Looks like its only a matter of time before America invades Iran. If this kind of report doesn't change their minds then nothing will.
- MacEnvy, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2The intelligence agencies predicted 9/11 and told the president (hint: look up "daily presidential briefing"). It's not the intelligence agencies' fault the Administration had its own agenda, and was hobbled by a mentally handicapped burnout at the head.
- sotopheavy, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2How stupid do they think we are? Like they say, Fred is a true [neo]conservative. Put no faith in the people's intelligence and shamelessly lie to them to carry out your agenda.
- MCMLXXXII, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2I must say, cooperjones is the biggest idiot on this thread.
- k3ano, on 12/06/2007, -0/+2Bush said that his opinion still hasn't changed about Iran. He's now using the "they're dangerous because they might sell their knowledge to a covert millitary program" angle.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1Eco-nomics.
- oldhick, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1NIE is actually mainly state department bureaucrats, they do not have access to intelligence provided by spies.
