Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

Did he give an order to attack Iraq?

Name the VP's who have spoken out against the foreign policy of the president over the past century...

It just isn't done in America...sadly.

yes, most ....um... almost all politicians are good little corporate puppets, WHICH IS EXACTLY MY POINT!

al gore would have done what they told him to. just look at how he shills for the global warming "Tax Mafia."

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

Look at the poll question Einstein. Attacking Iraq the way Bush did was for the purpose of regime change by military forces of the USA, something that Gore never recommended (of Course Bush Sr. didn't recommend it either).

Oh, and I don't recall Gore giving the order to attack Iraq...ever.

Yes, of course. Big Al was just an innocent bystander. He had a smaller office than Hillary. At least he got to watch the important decisions being made.

Quote from Nick Leeson Jr:

Al Gore's foreign policy

Al Gore supported continuing 1998 air strikes in Iraq . . .

President Clinton’s decision to abort air strikes against Iraq was hardly based on the unanimous counsel of his advisers. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Defense Secretary William Cohen opposed backing down. And, according to The Wall Street Journal, so did Vice President AL GORE.

AL Gore supported first Gulf War; costs of war less than alternative . . .

[In Jan. 1991], with nearly 400,000 troops bug into the Saudi desert, Bush was asking Congress to approve the use of force in the Persian Gulf.
On the Senate floor in 1991, Gore said, “I have struggled to confront this issue. [and] to strike a balance. The risks of war are horrendous. The real costs of war are also horrendous. But what are the costs and risks if the alternative policy does not work? I think they are larger, greater, more costly.” Gore joined 9 other Democrats who broke ranks on a 52-47 vote to authorize the use of force in the Persian Gulf.

Al Gore on Bombing Serbia: Bomb until Serb forces withdraw & refugees return . . .

"We will roll back Milosevic’s reign of terror - and we will not stop until he withdraws his forces, allows the refugees to return, and accepts an international security force to protect all Kosovars, including the Serb minority, as they work toward the self-government they once enjoyed and still deserve. If he refuses to back down, we will continue to target and degrade the military capacity he uses to repress and torture the people of Kosovo."

Waiting now for some absurd claim such as Al Gore being held hostage by the Clintons . . . from this clown who started the thread. Here's another regressive that wants so badly to separate vice president Al Gore from reality and Al's history, but when faced with the facts simply cannot.

You are known by the company you keep, keep keeping on with the likes of nick...

There is no evidence that Gore would have attacked Iraq to remove Saddam in 2003...

In fact, Gore supported Dean, who was anti war...

Would Al Gore, having been apprised by not only the CIA but the other major intelligence agencies of the world that Saddam was developing WMD - combined with the fact that Saddam was not cooperating with weapons inspectors - have done the prudent thing and attacked Iraq?

In other words, would he have protected the US public to his utmost ability based on the most accurate information he had at the time?

Probably not. Gore would not have invaded since he might have lost a few of the popularity votes among the moonbats...America's safety be damned....the Zzztroll wins this one, fellas.
