MIKE FARRELL V. FRED THOMPSON



Mike Farrell and Fred Thompson debated each other on Meet the Press last week. Farrell (of M.A.S.H. fame) made the oft-heard tired and lame argument that we should continue with endless inspections in Iraq, particularly now that Iraq has demonstrated a willingness to "destroy" some of their irrelavent weapons. Farrell then went on to say that we should focus on Osama bin Laden, or, to paraphrase Farrell, "Osama bin Forgotten" -- implying, of course, that the Administration has taken their collective eyes off the terrorist ball.



Farrell said this, of course, while Pakistani and US officials put the smack down on Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the operations leader for Al Qaeda. The US continues to press the war on terrorism with great success. The eye has stayed on the ball.
