· “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!
