Fred Thompson's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad 2 Days

Go here to watch Fred's comments on Bin Laden.

Clearly he's there, clearly he's somewhere on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border and clearly he's giving orders.

Sort of at odds with what he told reporters in Iowa today (h/t Think progress):

Thompson downplayed the impending release of a new video fromterrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

"Bin Laden is more symbolism than anything else," he said. "I think it demonstrates to people once again that we're in a global war."


He's not terribly sharp, accurate, or consistent.

So, which is it? Is Bin Laden "clearly giving orders" or is he "more symbolism than anything else? Fred is not prepared for prime time.

Read a few more stories about his underperformance in Iowa below.
