It's a totally stupid and unconvincing argument, and here's why. First, coming from Goron it's even worse, because we all know there's nothing he won't do to seek personal political advantage(no matter how inept he is at it.) Second, I don't know what our military can and can't do operationally, but Gore forces me to choose between his expertise, and that of Donald Rumsfeld, General Franks, and the entire high command of the US Armed Forces. Hmmmm, let me think about that and I'll get back to you. No one with any sense will take Gore's word for it. They will believe the Administration.
