Umm, I think you're the one who doesn't know American politics.

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002



Ridiculous. Read the full speech and see how its message compares with your cherry-picked quotes: http://www.gwu.edu/~action/2004/gore/gore092302sp.html


Wow, I've seen some cherry-picking in my day but parent tries to bring out a message that is the complete opposite of what the speech says.

Yep. As one of the results in your linked Google search says, a decent headline summary is "Gore blasts Bush on Iraq war".


Still probably would not have gone to war over it.


How dare you introduce nuance and, um, "inconvenient" facts into a political discussion! You're distracting the masses.

Gore: good! Bush: bad! four-legs-good-two-legs-bad!
