Do you think U.S. would've gone to war with Iraq if Al Gore was elected president instead of Bush?

Question

for some reason I don't think so.

Answer 1

No we wouldn't have..I think we would have Bin Laden right now too and no Gitmo prisons. Gasoline would still be a dollar and quarter.

Answer 2

I agee with loveben, Gore would never have invaded Iraq especially as the evidence presented was doctored, based on lies. No WMD's were ever found despite repeated searches.

Instead he should have taken Saudi Arabia to task, after all 99% of the hijackers responsible for 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. It's very strange that Bin Ladens family were allowed to fly out of the country the following day, when all other flights were suspended.

The Bush family are very close to the Bin Laden family. That is the obvious reason why Saudi Arabia has never been invaded nor Bin Laden ever found. Instead it was easier to make a fuss, be seen to be doing something. Invade Iraq who was no threat whatsoever to us. The country was already crippled from years of economic sanctions, children were dying from lack of medicines. They were starving. Iraq was a very soft touch.

So shame on Bush for this needless war which has resulted in the losss of over 10,000 lives civilians and troops, and what for? so your buddie Cheney could top up his bank account to the tune of Billions with Haliburton Iraqi contracts?. So you could settle an old score unfinished by your father?.

The invasion of Iraq has made the world a lot more unstable. Bush has led us down a very dangerous path. The Middle East is now in crisis. Iraq has descended into civil war, and where is Bin Laden? Why do we never hear about him anymore?. Whatever happened to catching those responsible for 9/11?.

Had Gore been elected I am sure that most of the $422Billion spend on defence would have been directed to where it is needed most, here at home, in education, homes, healthcare,scientific research into diseases, and the elderly.

Answer 3

No, Because Gore would have went to war with a country that had actually had a part of 9/11, like lets say Bushes Good friends the Saudis, Who helped fund the 9/11 attacks and where all of the hijackers but one originated from. Theirs an idea, actually going to war with a country that attacked you insted of a country you wanted to get revenge on.

Answer 4

i'm grateful Al Gore exchange into no longer our President then. NOW, i could vote for him. To artwork decrease than Clinton one had to be subservient. vice president Gore has grown, sped up and that i pray he fights to shop US from those carpet beggar Clintons. i believe the civil wars could have escalated in Iraq and he could have been compelled to work together. 9-11 he could have have been given from Clinton no be counted what. thank you. a hundred days heading in the right direction from the Dem Congress? perfect attempt a hundred minutes of their seats no longer rallying own schedule. What state is Hillary from besides? i'm with u in this Q.

Answer 5

No he would not.

He was vice President under Clinton when they pulled off Operation Desert Fox, which took out thousands of military targets in Iraq, without losing a single man!

Clinton wasn't President in 1983. It was Ronald Reagan who had no response to the marine barracks! Just so you don't keep bringing the same lame non-issue, the person who was responsible for the bombing of the Cole was assassinated by us several years ago!

Answer 6

Al Gore would NEVER have a war with the middle eastern, just like the Clinton.

Answer 7

I don't know. Since the Clintons stood silently by while the Serbs committed genocide in Bosnia and Kosovo, I don't think he would have gone after Sadam. Probably just Afghanistan. But look at how Iraq turned out. Was it really worth it?

Answer 8

He is a cleaver man with a grate considerateness, who can control his feelings before acting. No he would NOT, as he should take more care of the social well fare than spending our money into war affairs for a few drops of oil which can be provided from other sources than Iraq. How much is a soldiers life worth in money for the state? It is not worth the money in the battlefields, I promise you - the loss is greater than you can imagine.

Answer 9

There was no reason to go to war against Iraq. Saddam was already effectively castrated and contained. What would have been the point? The UN inspections were doing the job.

Answer 10

Al Gore? Didn't he invent the Internet?

Answer 11

NO WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ATTACKED A FEW MORE TIMES BY TERRORIST UNTIL THE PUBLIC OUTCRY WAS SO BIG HE WOULD BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING OR LOOK LIKE AN a$$ ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. THE MARINE BARRACKS, THE FIRST WORLD TRADE ATTACK, THE BOMBING OF THE USS. COLE ALL HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT. WAS ANYTHING DONE ABOUT THIS? DEMOCRATS LIKE TO GET SLAPPED AND TURN THEIR CHEEK TO KEEP GETTING SMACKED.
