Fred Thompson
Town Hall Meeting
Spartanburg, SC 12/04/08

TRANSCRIPTION
FRED THOMPSON: In current terms [national security] means being able to accept victory, being able to turn our back on an attitude of defeat. Weve got so many people in Washington today that are vested in the notion of defeat in Iraq that they cant take yes for an answer. They cant accept good news and were getting good news because of the sacrifices the best fighting force in the history of the world now we look at an opportunity in the not-too-distant future to start bringin our troops home as a part of a part of a success scenario, not a defeat scenario and thats what the United States is all about because, if we do it otherwise, its gonna make for a more dangerous homeland. Its gonna send the wrong signal that were weak and were divided and were facing an enemy that wants to bring down western civilization and were number one on their hit list. We gotta be strong and be united and do whats necessary, as weve always done, to defend this country.
