Al Gore: I would Never Start This War War with Iraq: 3 April 2003, Thursday.

I would never start this war if I were President, Former US Vice President Al Gore said via videoconferencing at the Economist Conference "Seventh Roundtable with the Government of Greece", which takes place April 2-4 in Athens.

Al Gore, whose participation in the conference has been prevented by secret services ban on travelling, underlined that he would have tried to deal with Saddam Hussein with all other means available.

James Rubin, former US Assistant Secretary of State, expressed confidence that Saddam Hussein possesses chemical weapons. He described the Iraqi crisis as the hardest trial NATO has faced since its establishment.

Former Vice President of Sweden Carl Blidt expressed confidence that Bulgaria will become a full member of the European Union in 2007.

This is the first time that the conference is held in the capital of Greece, which holds the EU's rotating presidency for the first half of this year.

Bulgaria's Defense Minister Nikolay Svinarov and Maxim Behar, Bulgarian Business Leaders Forum Chairman, attend the seventh consecutive summit, which focuses upon the strengthening of trans-Atlantic ties and the gap that has stemmed through key economic, political and social issues on the global agenda.

Branko Crvenkovski, FYROM Prime Minister, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Zivkovic and Albania's head of government Fatos Nano are among the high-ranked guests of the conference.

The conference also explores the role that both Europe and the United States must assume in international politics, restoring confidence in the international financial markets, setting priorities in trade policy and competition.

In the middle of March this year the Fourth Round Table with the Bulgarian government, organized by The Economist Group, was held in Sofia. The cooperation between the Bulgarian government and the business community in the implementation of structural reforms topped the agenda.

Representatives of Economist Corporate Network spoke on the economic development of Bulgaria. Bulgaria's accession in the European Union, the business environment in Bulgaria, privatisation and their impact on the inflow of foreign investments in the country were other important topics on the agenda.

What a putz...

[Mr. K]

Some people should shuddup when their stupidity becomes so very obvious....

geez can you believe this moron almost got elected

[Diva Betsy Ross]

That is exactly why it was so important mot to let him and his cartoon friends steal the election. Praise God ....

[ChadGore]

Al would still be on Larry King with pie charts and flip card explaining what a "Taliban" is.

[anoldafvet]

Can you imagine Gore running again with Pelosi as his running mate? This is about the only way he could ever look intelligent.

What other means ? A daylong game of canasta ?

[coloradan]

AlL Gone would rather raise taxes to 100% than fight a war against an evil regime. "Disarm Peaceable Americans - Not Iraqi Tyrants" would be his rallying cry - and the Million Morons would look on in satisfaction.

Thank you, once again, for delineating the difference between conservatives and liberals, Mr. Gore. Liberals have no understanding of "the right thing to do".

[sticker]

I disagree, he would have to go all the way to shelia lee to look intelligent.

[ClearCase_guy]

He's so bright. Let's look at his logic:

I would NEVER start this war.
I would use other means to resolve the problem.
If those other means failed, I would give up and walk away from the problem because ...
I would NEVER start this war.

I hope he runs again in 2004.

[Republican Red]

So obvious. The first attack on the Twin Towers, Clinton/Gore did nothing. The Kenya bombing, Clinto/Gore did nothing. The bombing of the Cole, Clinton/Gore did nothing. What else would one expect from Gore?

"Al Gore, whose participation in the conference has been prevented by secret services ban on travelling

Are we still paying for HIS secret service protection???

How long does he get it??

[Steve_Seattle]

So Gore continues the bash-the-current-(Republican-President tradition begun by Jimmy Carter. What small, vain, petty men these are, undermining our troops even as the troops risk their lives.

[BibChr]

Ditto to the hundredth.

Wow! "Seventh Roundtable with the Government of Greece"! I found a picture of the tables:

Impressive, eh?

Until he assumes room temperature!

You left out the bombing of the Kobar Towers in Saudi Arabia where Clinton/Gore did nothing.
