Fred Thompson the War Monger

I have said that we Ron Paul supporters really have no reason to fear competition from Fred Thompson. But we do need to fear him as a government official. This article by Fred Thompson is further proof why Ron Paul does not share a base with Thompson and why he should be feared:

"America is facing a growing threat from Latin American totalitarianism and we need to call on those who are most familiar with it to lead the resistance." - Fred Thompson

We know that Thompson supports the Iraq War and will probably help to provoke a neocon war of aggression against Iran, but this article shows that he also has his eyes on Latin America. We've meddled in Latin American politics before and it wasn't very productive.

Remember the Bay of Pigs invasion? Around 1,500 Cuban expatriates (trained and supplied by the CIA) invaded Cuba in the hopes of deposing the reign of terror of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. Needless to say, they ran out of ammo after three days of fighting and the invasion failed. JFK's special counsel, Robert Goodwin, met with Che Guevara after the failure at the Bay of Pigs: "[Che] went on to say that he wanted to thank us very much for the [Bay of Pigs] invasion - that it had been a great political victory for them - enabled them to consolidate."

It is partially the fault of our policy in Cuba that has allowed Fidel to stay this long! Castro and Chavez want us to attack. We will be seen as the aggressors and everyone will come to the aid of the poor defenseless Latin American country.

Fred Thompson and the rest of the neocon candidates must be stopped!
