Thompson Downplays Iraq Insurgency... (Nixon was right)
Edited on Thu Oct-25-07 03:04 PM by ProSense
From Think Progress, "Thompson Downplays Iraq Insurgency..."

<...>

We will not be a safer country, we will not be a safer America if the whole world watches us being defeated by a bunch of kids with improvised explosive devices.

CNN has video of his remarks.


Note he accurately said "being defeated." As for the rest, Nixon was right "dumb as hell."
