Fred Thompson, Squarely On The Looney Fringe!

Fred Thompson made a startling statement in the GOP debate in Miami.
When asked what he would do about Fidel Castro, who has held onto power in Cuba as nine different U.S. presidents have come into office, Thompson replied, with a grin "I'm going to make sure that he didn't survive 10 U.S. presidents."
Now that's a hell of a thing to say. If I understand that statement correctly Thompson is advocating the assasination of Castro. Quite a foreign policy!
If this is what passes for cogent thought and leadership then we have come to a sad state in this country.
If Fred Thompson is the answer then it is a mighty strange question!
