Gore!

here is why, this is very important.

1)During the summer of 01 before Sept the CIA knew something was goint down.......they prepared a PDB.
Gore wouldn't have been on vaction

2) Gore wouldn't have brushed it off, would have continued meeting with his anti terrorism chief. Bush never once met with him. not once.

3) And when we went into Afganistan, there was a breakdown between the CIA and teh Dept of Defence....

ie Rumsfeld didn't like taking orders from teh CIA, the CIA was ready to strike Osamas camp in Afganistan.
the DoD did not support the CIA and send in real ground forces.....Osama got away at the battle of Tora Bora.

NO Rumsfeld, we would have sent in troops into Tora Bora to really capture Osama...

I would have felt more secure with Al Gore. He would have paid more attention to the memo that George Bush received a month before 9/11 that warned the administration of an ensuing attack.
If someone threatens to burglarize you, you lock the door. George Bush waited for the attack knowing full well it was coming. All he had to do was beef up security, especially at the airports and heighten awareness of the public. Why were there no Security Marshalls on the planes? Why were foreigners being given flying lessons in our country? These are just some of the issues that Al Gore would have been aware of.

Al Gore. He would've have been on vacation in the weeks preceding 9/11. He would have read the intelligence briefings, because he can.

He would have listened to his head of Anti-Terrorism. In short, 9/11 might have been avoided.

But let's say 9/11 did happen on Gore's watch. You can bet we wouldn't be squandering our military power in Iraq.

Why do Americans feel safe under Bush and his Neocons?? They aren't the least bit interested in really fighting a war on terrorism. They have a completely different agenda, which they are following at this country's great peril.

When was the last Orange Alert in this country?? Haven't had one in a while have we?? Ever wonder why??

George W. Bush! Al Gore would have just wrung his hands, said we must make them pay and then forgotten all about what happened and let the terrorists get away, just like Clinton.

GLOBAL WARMING/THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL

Any and I mean any environmental cause or approach must be grassroots in nature. Having PhD's talk about global warming and having those representing industry interests debunk these present theories is a high level and almost an entirely futile effort. Don't get me wrong, it is great that someone with Al Gore's connections and exposure is getting the word out. However, people are people they want to see results.

Yes, the expression is now trite but still true, "Thing Globally, Act Locally". Watching the sky over a city, town or even a more rural area become darkened by smog has local impact, people take note and actually see A PROBLEM. A problem that can measured in terms of air quality or perhaps an AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX like the one that the provincial government in Ontario, Canada is in the process of implementing. You can measure results (however small) in terms of air quality and the affect it has on the health care system (those with breathing problems, doctor's visits, etc). It certainly speaks to the advantage of a UNIVERSAL health care system (however, actually implemented) as it actually makes sense to improve the environment as it keeps people healthy (a humanitarian cause) and when health care it publicly funded it affects the public coffers when people become ill therefore it even makes better financial sense to keep the environment a top priority.

Plus any approach must be entire with a complete overall plan (the big picture). Including recycling initiatives, energy solutions (alternatives/renewables can now present a real potential financial threat to the big oil companies and even power companies...), government involvement at all levels, public transit, greener vehicles in general (Hybrid, Hydrogen, Conventional electric, bio-diesel, ethanol), conservation in all energy arenas, ETC!

Economic viability is the real sell as many of these solutions are just that economically sensible (ensuring we look at the entire picture). Yes as more people use solar, wind and other renewable energy sources the cheaper the technology will get. Two of the newest billionaires have earned a large portion through renewables Solar (India I believe) and Wind (China I believe). Yes in many ways developing nations and economies will be the first and early adopters of such renewable tech as they are just building much of their infrastructure.

So what do we all need to do? GET INVOLVED ! Contact your local government about improving your recycling program, contact provincial/state/federal government about the adopting of these new technologies (renewables such as solar/wind), buy gas with ethanol in it and demand it, use and demand bio diesel, buy products with less packaging and demand manufacturers to reduce packaging and to offer a price break as a result. More ECONOMIC VIABILITY! After all energy diversity just like economic diversity is the safest and best bet for good long term results and return on investment.

Should Al Gore, strong leader, and more secure even be mentioned in the same sentence?

seeing as bush had a huge part in 9/11 and his administration practicly caused it gore would have been bettter because 9/11 would not have happened. George Bush is an evil bastard who killed thousands of his own countrymen in order to be able to start a war in the middle east.

Probably with Gore if you mean at the same location, because chances were far greater Bush was a terrorist target on that day and other days.

The monetary gadget could be suffering in a super way if gore had gained. it is not rocket technology to come to a decision that incentivizing human beings to artwork perplexing by way of no longer removing the final public of the aptitude rewards gets human beings prompted to boost productiveness. That fact grow to be misplaced on gore. ok, that grow to be extremely speculative b/c it fairly is the braveness and capability of the yank those that fairly rigidity the monetary gadget, no longer the President. yet one element it particularly is for particular is that we certainly could have had yet another substantial terrorist attack on our soil with that pompous windbag in cost. Say what you go with approximately Bush, yet human beings have found out quickly to no longer mess with him (or us, thank you very plenty) or they are going to get kicked interior the enamel; basically ask the Taliban.
