Was he lying in 1992? Or is he- and his party- lying today?

Yeah. This was 15 years ago and Folks, clinton and bush bombed Iraq but never invaded. Even Cheney was talking about how it was a bad idea to invade. Al gore would have never invaded. plain and simple. ONly bush and his neo-con psycho's orchestrated this lie of a war.

The rise of Jihadism in the 90's during Clinton's presidency is what led to 9/11. Clinton, not Bush, set a policy of "regime change" for Hussein. Bush carried it out. If "lies" were used in justification, they are George Tenet's lies from the Clinton administration. Remember Tenet's "Slam Dunk". Tenet was Clinton's CIA chief, it was Clinton's intel. If Bush made a mistake, it was believing anything that came from the Clinton team.

Repeating Democrat's own words back to them is a SMEAR campaign. Stop the personal attacks of the right wing blah, blah, blah...

The ability to flip/flop an issue on Gore's part is astounding. What a hypocrite! Worse, this proves he's willing to lie and deny the national interest today- regardless of his past positions- to bash Bush. Hypocrisy rules in the Democrat party!

@scj16 That's funny when most of the Democrats voted to go to war with Iraq" if war wasn't necessary Why even give Bush that right if they had no intentions of going to war and to say Al Gore would of never invaded Iraq how can you be sure? We will never know What Al Gore would of would of not done.. I believe he would of went to war Al & Bill bombed Iraq in 1993 and 1998 so he would of went to war that's for sure

what a moron

[EdyKelDev]

Basically, The Regan/Bush administration helped to cement Saddam's rule in Iraq in hopes of countering Iran, while ignoring the atrocities he committed. In simple terms, they helped put a monster into power, and would later have to shoot him at great cost to everyone.

[nef2442]

He sounds like Bush II, He is pretty much saying that Bush I is too much of a puss. And claiming that Iraq has weopons of mass destruction!

i heard gore is claiming Global worming

has caused the current financial crisis

"There's a difference between giving a speech and bombing a country that posed no immediate threat at the time."

Tell Uh...bama that. 'Words, Just Words!...' LOL

That new Pentagon report vindicates Gore. He was right that Saddam was recruiting, harboring, arming, training and funding thousands of Iraqi and non Iraqi suicide bombers and terrorists.

[tedetnavu]

The fact that " Saddam " was a dangerous sadistic dictator was never disputed by Gore. The approach to this danger is what Gore was speaking to. We all have learned what impulsive and ill advised governmental policies can do. For those of us who have lost loved ones in war, we understand this fact beyond words. Gore and all who respect international law realized that the inspections were working in so far as uncovering WMD in Iraq. The rest is history, it speaks volumes.

[ReuWil]

That is not a response to what he/she said - he/she was commenting on Gore's dishonesty in saying one thing at one time and now saying exactly the opposite - he/she was making no such argument in that post.

[ReuWil]

Yes - saying in one speech that Saddam was a sponsor of terrorism and was amassing WMD and very dangerous and in another saying that it never happened is very consistent (/sarc). Incredible how you can just sit there and say something that is obviously not even close to being true. Have you no shame?
