Fred Thompson warns of al-Qaida threats



By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer 32 minutes ago

SIOUX CITY, Iowa - Republican Fred Thompson said Friday that terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is "more symbolism than anything else" as the presidential hopeful warned of possible greater al-Qaida threats within the United States.

The release of the bin Laden video drew a strong response from one of Thompson's rivals, Arizona Sen. John McCain, who said in a statement: "Osama bin Laden and his henchmen must be hunted down — and as president, I will. ... My presidency will be al-Qaida's worst nightmare."

On Iraq, the candidate defended his support for the war and contended that progress has been made months after President Bush sent in 30,000 more combat troops. The American people, he said, recognize that the situation has improved.

"I think you're already seeing a change in perception as better news comes out of Iraq," Thompson said. "I think the American people will come to that view as they see things develop.

"We are finally on the right track in Iraq and we're making progress."
