How could he have done a WORSE job than Bush? First off, If Gore had been president he very likely wouldn't have ignored Richard Clarke's repeated warnings re Al Queda and Bin Laden. Secondly, he wouldn't have sat in his soiled drawers reading "My pet goat" for 20 minutes. And last, most importantly, he wouldn't have squandered the support and good will of the WHOLE rest of the world to pursue Bin Laden by starting an irrelevant and illegal war in Iraq.

ditto. If Gore was president, then 9/11 wouldn't have occurred, period.
Bush ignored al-qaeda and gave the Taliban 40 million dollars in aid and refuse to develop a strategy for anti-American terrorism.

Gore lost the votes in his home state by mentioning his plan for banning all gas powered cars by 2003. All he had intentions of doing is enforcing environmental packages because the highest people investing in the democratic campaign that year were environmental lobbyists. Same ones largely funding John Kerry's campaign as well. The problem is democrats push the 'anti war' news to the front of the news as America ignores the spending packages they pass that increase our taxes. I would overall like to see a new political party form that is not as corrupt as the two that are in Congress and making a mockery of our great nation.

The Iraq war was highly relevant, and not the least bit illegal. In fact, it showed the highest understanding of law to go into Iraq.
Iraq should be known as the war for UN credibility. Not to punish Saddam for his multiple violations would mean the UN was irrelevant. In some sense, Bush transcended UN law by ousting Saddam.

Yes everything there is true apart from Bin Laden who doesn't really seem to interest Bush at all.

If Gore was president. The Taliban would likely still control Afghanistan and Saddam would still be President of Iraq. If they whole world hated us a pro-American wouldn't have been elected in France. It is pure nonsense that the world hates us. Only the left in the rest of the world hates a United States that actually stands for something.

No, but your question high lights the hypocrisy of you wonderfully fair minded and clear thinking leftists. and with Gore in there , there would have been far too much {more than now} hot air on the East coast, would probably dry up a good portion of the Atlantic ocean, then what would Kennedy do ?

You lefties really need to find some good new talking points.
The bottom line is we haven't been attacked on our soil since 9/11.
And who cares about the so-called "squandered" support from the rest of the world. If you are referring to France and Germany, who were the loudest Iraq war opponents, don't you find it odd they elected PRO-AMERICAN governments and tossed those who were against the Iraq war out?

We will never know what Gore would have done. Maybe he wouldn't have done the things you cited, and maybe he would have done other things just as stupid.
