· “The U.S. government committed “terrible abuses” against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.”
· “Arabs had been ‘indiscriminately rounded up’ and held in ‘unforgivable’ conditions.”
· “The Bush administration was playing into al-Qaeda’s hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.”
· “The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake.”
· “The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States.”
These are some of the statements of former Vice President Al Gore, before an effectively all-Arab Saudi audience during the recent Jeddah Economic Forum. They sound a lot like a MoveOn.org rally aimed at garnering voter support for yet another failed presidential bid. But since it was an all-Arab crowd, he was probably just seeking campaign funding…
Isn’t Al the Grand Pooh-Bah of America’s lunatic left, who has been asking why we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq instead of bombing Saudi Arabia, since most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi? Isn’t this the guy in charge of the tree-hugging whale-saving baby-killing constituency who accused the Bush Administration of letting Saudi diplomats flee war torn American shores in the hours following the 9/11 attacks?
I thought so… Yet here he is, in all his glory, speaking to a room full of fellow millionaires, using this very unique opportunity to once again effectively pour gas on the fire storm of Arab dissent for the very country Gore unfortunately calls home. What a guy!

Wonder if he dropped in on Michael Jackson while he was in town
Conjures the appropriate mental image..... well done!
So right and this is exactly what I have come to expect from the whole lot....
It's getting harder and harder each day to stomach the actions of these people....
Al Gore has become America's "political suicide bomber", rushing in to blow himself up in repeated efforts to kill off his political enemies. You could say he's the Richard Reid (idiot shoe bomber) of American politics...
File this stuff away in case he's the 2008 nominee.
"But since it was an all-Arab crowd, he was probably just seeking campaign funding…"
GREED.
Good thing we have McCain-Feingold???
Greed I can live with...international corruption of the American campaign system is a whole nother story...
The file is growing...
"Greed I can live with...international corruption of the American campaign system is a whole nother story..."
Don't get me wrong. The whole crew is a bunch of reprehensible_____. But the American campaign system is corrupt because many Americans are corrupt.
Sadly...true!
This bum and his former boss would have been Nazis in the thirties had they been Germans, Commies in the forties had they been Russian or Maoists in the nineties had they been Peruvians. There is no principled allegiance to anything but power and money. The people who call them idealists are laughable.
"He who would be king"
Actually, I think you mean "He Who Would Be The King". Gore is sort of looking like Elvis The Pudgy Years. We need to find him a wig.
We need a program where we can trade our wackos for more responsible people. Say, trade Gore & Dean for? Maybe Chavez and Mugabe?
