Saddam has not invaded anyone so we have no right to attack him, he says. He sounds totally stupid in today's world!

[Dog]

I turned it on again...he doesn't know what he is talking about..

[ChadGore]

This is the nail in the coffin for the DNC at midterms.

[epluribus_2]

Any good quotes to be replayed over and over once Iraq is liberated and the WMD are uncovered?

[noexcuses]

...he doesn't know what he is talking about.

I don't know what he's talking about either.

[finnman69]

"there is not just one country that is attempting to get access to WMD"

[twyn1]

Am I hearing a little more "Southern Drawl" every once in awhile--is that a new "style" ???

My eyes are getting heavy...heavy....zzzzzzzz

[SunStar]

We are perfectly capable of sustaining a war against OBL and simultaneously building a coalition to take on Saddam in a timely fashion.

Ummm.. Isn't that what we are doing under the leadership of President Bush? Mr. Failed Vice-President, why didn't your administration take action against Osama Bin Laden OR Iraq???

[Wait4Truth]

President Bush and Tony Blair are going to take this jerk apart piece by piece in the coming weeks. gore is hurting himself today.

[Henchster]

Now he's telling us how he voted for the 91 Gulf War (remember his speech, he was fence sitting, "..I voted with the majority, but I understood the concerns of the minority..") and now feels BETRAYED by 41 (not by Klink?) for not continuing the battle to REMOVE Saddamm!

Revisionist history by Bill Clinton just got trumped by Gore!

[Dog]

Listen to the crowd........total silence......TOTAL.....this is BOMBING!

[The Great Satan]

Al... if you are paying attention, you would have noticed that Al-Qaida has been running to Iraq. Why? Because they have safe haven there.

The sole remaining indicted fugitive from the 1993 conspiracy to topple the WTC, Abdul Rahman Yasin, is living in a safe house in Baghdad. Coinky-dence? I don't think so.

[Shermy]

"we should be organizing an international coalition"

He, or his scriptwriter, must be reading those lefty Western Euro papers that say we aren't.

[bonfire]

Poor man shouldn't ever speak out in public. I pity his children. Can you just imagine him as your father...ugh.

[NeoCaveman]

Listen to the crowd........total silence......TOTAL.....this is BOMBING!

They are falling asleep.....I'm not far behind them....zzzzz

[Diddle E. Squat]

Naw, let him talk. I hope ever nightly newscast carries big clips of this. The more America sees him trying to act in parallel to Bush, the more the myths are deflated and the farther he sinks.

The beauty of all this is the bitter and rabid hardcore RATS may be able to win him the Dem. candidacy in 2004, which would eliminate their chances of winning. Sorta a Reno thing. Though my bet is McCauliflower will be able to steer them to a better candidate with at least a theoretical shot.

Gore has no chance because most Americans now have a good sense of who W is. Thus the old Dem strategy of smearing, lying, and misrepresenting won't work. Without the fear of "I just don't know how bad Republican candidate 'X' might be and I can't take a chance", the Democrats lose much of their strategic advantage.

Let him talk.

[epluribus_2]

Is this true? If you've got a source, then I've got a way to rub this into a lot of dem noses.

[egarvue]

This is the nail in the coffin for the DNC at midterms.

It may not be the nail in the coffin, but I gotta love Algore, he just handed us a BIG bag of ammo...and in regards to the timing of this soporific speech, can anyone say "trial balloon"? I knew you could.

[finnman69]

Gore does not think we need a new resolution. "In 1991 the first Bush skillfully put together a coalition. back then every nation other than Jordan suported our effort. this year many of our allies are openly opposed and the few that do support us condition that on the passage of a new UN resolution."
