You know, there's nothing more satisfying then catching someone directly in either a lie or trying to revise history. Especially when they are caught with their own words. For example: It's now fashionable to say that Bush manipulated intelligence towards a war with Iraq, and being who he is, Al Gore jumps on this bandwagon.
This is the worst strategic mistake in the whole history of United States of America.
But then Al's own words trip him up.
Though back in 2000, when Gore was running for the presidency, he argued that "as long as Saddam stays in power, there can be no comprehensive peace for the people of Israel or the Middle East. We have made clear it is our policy to see Saddam Hussein gone."
So which is is Al? Would you have NOT gone in and taken care of Iraq? Of course not, you're a sissy Democrat who talks tough when it's needed, but you don't have the backbone to do anything about it. After all, you have a track record of inaction against known threats. You were Vice President when Clinton was in office and yet you both allowed the Al-Qaeda threat to fester until it blew up in our faces on September 11th. Hell, your own boss, Bill Clinton, allowed a known threat, Osama Bin Laden, escape ON PURPOSE because of a financial deal with the UAE.
There was no doubt Saddam was still trying to amass weapons of mass destruction. But in the most recent book he seems to argue the opposite in criticizing President Bush saying he offered "forged evidence that Hussein was seeking to develop atomic bombs." It is not clear which evidence Gore is referring to, because the Clinton administration certainly believed the same thing when it launched bombing raids on Iraq in 1998.
So if "there's no doubt", then how is it that your boss, Bill Clinton, thought the same thing? If "there's no doubt", how did Bush "manipulate" intelligence towards war? Either Bush DIDN'T manipulate intelligence, or you lied back when you said these words. So which is it? Is Bush telling the truth or are you lying? Either way it's a very difficult pill for Democrats to swallow. Man up Al, either admit you are wrong now or you were wrong then. Chances are you're just bitter you lost in an extremely close race, you jump on any bandwagon that gives you a sliver of popularity, and let's face it, you're a terrible leader who would rather sacrifice American lives then do something about threats.
