The challenges, he says, are numerous. On Iraq, he admits "we are left with nothing but bad choices." However, he says the "worst choice" would be to have Osama bin Laden proven right when he predicted America wouldn't have the stomach for a tough fight. The costs of Iraq have been high, but they could be even higher "if we have another stain on America like that infamous scene from Saigon 1975 in which our helicopters took off leaving those who supported us grabbing at the landing skids."
I think that's basically right. Not the part about Bin Laden particularly, but the rest of it. [Isn't Bin Laden the point of the sentence? That we're in it for our pride now? It's about commitment. Uh, anything more than that mr.-if-i-put-it-together-in-a-sentence-it-sounds-like-a-logical-thought? Not now. Talking about Thompson.]
This sentence was unintentionally hysterically funny:
Fred Thompson clearly hasn't decided whether to run for president;...
The I'm-running I'm-investigating-but-not-running I'm-not-running-but-the-people-have-chosen-me stuff is just priceless. [I have been completely distracted by your witty banter and have forgotten to follow up on your opinions on Iraq. You'll get your chance later.]

Fred Thompson is a former Republican Representative who now plays the District Attorney on Law & Order. So far as I can tell, he's basically playing himself.
