Hmmmm... where was all the media hysteria when Gore was saying Saddam should be ousted?

[dighton]

Great find.

Only one question: who is Gore?

[dfwgator]

Of course when Saddam is removed, Al Gore will say, "See, I also supported removing Saddam."

[scab4faa]

AL Gore - Supossed creator of the Internet (HA) and the biggest idiot to come out of Tenneessee.

[tomkat]

The Democratic presidential candidate was showcasing his foreign policy responsibilities as vice president Monday ...

Dear Al,

[Russell Scott]

Gore, you and Slick had your chance, and you sat on your hands, while Dr. SadMan went back to his lab to see how his manical creations were progressing. Talk is cheap, and 3 dollar Bill, and his side kick AlGore, were the cheapest talkers I've ever seen. But boy could they talk.

[da_toolman]

I consider it extremely ironic, considering Gore and an old college body named Frankenstein invented Saddam....

[A CA Guy]

Better late than never.

[PoorMuttly]

He must have read a Poll, and now is trying to change his stripes as usual.

Well, we're ON to him, and he stinks...just like the SKUNK he is.

[Willie Green]

IMHO, this only makes the administration look even more foolish for wanting to "go it alone".

It wouldn't bother me at all to see Saddam Hussein get vaporized by a nuke.
But I haven't seen any evidence that would warrant such an attack.
If they merely want to oust a tyranous dicatator, we should practice on Fidel Castro and liberate Cuba. It's closer to home and should be easier to accomplish on our own.

"Gore, you and Slick had your chance, and you sat on your hands, while Dr. SadMan went back to his lab to see how his manical...."

I believe you have them mixed up with GW's Daddy - and believe me it is the same DNA - unfortunately.

Hey if numbnuts wants to go it alone fine then. Strap a nuke to his @ss and send him over, win/win situation.

A senior State Department official said after the half-hour meeting that, because it was not a campaign event, Gore did not speak ``in terms of a Gore presidency.''

Gore Presidency??? That would be a sad, sad day for America.

The administration launched punishing air raids on Baghdad in December 1998 but failed to force Saddam to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors, who have yet to return to Iraq.

But it did help cover up that Cuban incident of Bubba Clinton's (Down Monica!)

[Alberta's Child]

Gore was simply following the strategy that was used by his boss in Kosovo. Create a legacy for yourself by holding up some third-rate dictator as an evil villain and proposing to oust him.

Never mind that this dictator has a military force that wouldn't even stand up to the Ohio National Guard, let alone the U.S. military. Just get rid of him.

[Malcolm]

Now we KNOW for certain that Gore is running for Prez again. Everyone knows that President Gore would be sniffing the European Union's you-know-what at this point. Heck, we might actually be a member of the EU itself if Big Al was presently in the Oval. But Gore, ole buddy, ole pal, the next time you go up against Bush, he will be an incumbent in wartime, so the equation has changed. He won't listen. Like Elvis, every time he passes a mirror, he has to stop and admire what he sees. Good for us that the American people will not give him anywhere near the vote he got in 2000. Were it not for last minute election surprises, (remember the 11th hour DUI charge, and that from over 25 years ago, and even that only for driving too slow?). No Al, get used to retirement. Squeeze on Tipper a couple of times for me, would 'ya buddy???

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Hmmmm... where was all the media hysteria when Gore was saying Saddam should be ousted?

Back during Desert Storm, let us never forget that Al Gore bartered for television face time. He would support the war if he got a lot of face time. He would oppose the war otherwise. He used THAT to decide which way he would vote. Our troops were nothing but pawns for his political ambitions. The higher purpose of national sovereignty and world stability meant nothing to him. It was all him. Scary to think he was so close to being elected president.

Freegards....

Did you get lost on your way to DU again, dear? You really should bookmark it ya know...

Gore, you and Slick had your chance, and you sat on your hands, while Dr. SadMan went back to his lab to see how his manical creations were progressing. Talk is cheap, and 3 dollar Bill, and his side kick AlGore, were the cheapest talkers I've ever seen. But boy could they talk.

I'll call it a perfect summary.

[Sacajaweau]

What's interesting here is that Gore is speaking for the administration...no squawk..

Cheney gave a dissertation on Saddam the other day...The Press "Anal ysts" went nuts as to whether he was speaking for the President...It's kinda like a duh in this administration as this President is daily At his desk talking with his staff, not under his desk...

The press sure has its agenda layed out!!

Thank God for Fox!!

[NorCoGOP]

The Democratic presidential candidate

Which one?

Alpha male?

Formal (empty) suit and tie?

Business casual?

Clean-shaven?

Goatee-adorned?

With airbrushed "enhancements"?

pfehhhh......

If sugar and tobacco got better mileage than gasoline, Castro would have been toast in 1961.
