If Gore was President would the Iraq war be over by now?

Answer 1

If Gore were president for the past seven years, there would have been no Iraq war. No need for it. America would have spent the $400 Billion it dumped into a useless war in Iraq, on developing viable alternative energy sources. America would have been energy independent by now, our environment "greener", and economy healthier.

NASA would have been funded properly, thereby preventing the needless loss of two space shuttles.

America's infrastructure would not be in the state of shambles it is in today. (i.e. I-35 bridge would have been inspected properly and shut down BEFORE it collapsed).

Our high school graduates would have be wooed by top colleges and universities not Army and National Gaurd recruiters.

The children in Darfor would be in school learning to read and write instead of in refugee camps praying for a home and a handout.

HIV in Africa would be on the decline and practically wiped out from most the industrialized nations.

America would be respected on the world stage for its leadership and philantropy, instead of ridiculed for its agressiveness and debuchary (i.e. read into this remark a veiled reference to the Abu Graib scandal).

IF 9/11 would have happened, the Taliban would have been routed, Bin Laden captured and prosecuted, and country of Afganistan restored to peaceful law and order under the watchful gaze of a multi-national UN peacekeeping force. The war would not have continued indefinitely or spilled over into neighboring countries.

Answer 2

The war would not have happened. They was plenty of "chatter" in the intelligence community that Bush ignored, so 9/11 would not have happened either. For those who don't know--what happened on 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. Bush and Cheney should get a shock with an electrical shock collar every time that repeat this lie.

Answer 3

If Gore were president we would probably have continued on with the standard policy of the last thirty years and dispatched a team of FBI agents and a few minor airstikes. Whether or not it is being handled correctly..at least we are participating in the war being fought against us since 79. Romare...that's just childish and unrealistic.

Answer 4

The war in Iraq probably would not have happened. The terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 came here in 2000 and trained in our flight schools. Later in 2000 the USS Cole was attacked. The terrorists have been hitting us WAY before Clinton, Bush and Reagan. They want us all to pray to Allah the way they do or they will kill us. To make this war political is stupid.

Answer 5

If Gore was president, we would have a committee exploring what happened on 9/11 and how to respond, still.

Answer 6

AlGore would have surrendered to the islamofascist scum and sent Tipper to tell them the US government had ordered every American to convert to islam or be burned alive like Clinton did to the people in Waco. There would have been no Iraq war. Saddam would still be murdering Iraqis and sponsoring terrorism around the world.

Answer 7

I thought you were in Vietnam? If Gore were President he would be running public service announcements telling everyone to take their Prozac.

Answer 8

If Gore was President we would have surrendered on 9-12-01 and would all be learning Arabic.

Answer 9

I don't think we would have had 9/11 or the war in Iraq if Gore had been president.

Answer 10

The Iraq war never would have happened. We would be in Afghanistan and have probably been well into the 3rd or 4th year of civil reconstruction and de-Talibanization of the Pastun tribesmen, rather than still on search and destroy missions.
