If Al Gore was Pres'. There would've been no 9/11 and no Iraqi invasion?

Answer 1

I think its possible. under the Clinton administration, people forget we had the Millennium Attacks from Bin laden and Al_Qaeda. Remember those? yeah..me neither because they didn't happen. Tenet was given the ability to act and had legitimate council and power with the Secretary of State and the President. G. tenet and his Assty Deputy Cofer Black met with Condi on July 10th 2001 he said that there was more traffic from Al-Qaeda than he had ever seen, even more than preceding the Millennium attacks. and further "an attack in the US was imminent" he was quoted by Woodward as saying "i did everything but hold a gun to her head to try and get her to take action" and her only reply was "the pres doesn't want us swatting at flys". Then there was the Aug 8th PDB "Bin Laden determined to Attack in the U.S."If action had been initiated, like I am sure Gore would have done and they and the FBI had ran the credit cards of the two hijackers on the watch list, we would have known that they had purchased multiple (10+) one-way tickets on the same day. and we would have known.

People still don't stop and wonder about the 2000 elections and the controversy, it was as if Bush HAD to be President for some reason. Do you think it is a coincidence that it was the first contested Presidency decided by the Supreme court, and then 9/11 and Iraq happened.
When there is that much power and money at stake, there are NO coincidences.
look at page 7 below if you think Bush has decreased terrorist activity
Edit:
Madmax; you should do fact check also. Al Gore never said he "invented' the internet. I saw the interview. he said he "helped create" the internet. Which he did. he was the first Senator to push for Funding to grow what was formerly known as ARpanet, due to wha the saw was immense potential. he was right.

Answer 2

In my opinion, you're wrong on both counts.

There still would have been a 9/11. It was in the planning stages during the Clinton administration, and nothing was done to prevent it. Clinton had the same intelligence President Bush received in the PDB in August 2001: "Al Qaida is moving, attack is imminent." Okay, so an attack was imminent. But where? When? How? Who? With what? Until the morning of September 11th six years ago, no one knew.

As far as the attack on Iraq, there is SO much more to that than the American public knows. We were attacking Iraq during the Clinton administration, too...but it wasn't official. There would have been a war in Iraq no matter WHO was president. And remember, many of the Democrats in Congress voted for the war too.

I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, by the way, and NOT a huge fan of President Bush.

Answer 3

Why would there have been no 9/11?

9/11 wasn't an attack on Bush - it was an attack on America. An attack that was planned when Gore was VP.

There might not have been an Iraq invasion - or an Afghanistan attack.

Gore would have blamed Global Warming for 9/11.

Answer 4

If Al Gore was elected the President of the United States (which he wasn't) in 2000, the 9/11 attacks would have happened, and we would have suffered more Al Qaeda attacks. Osama bin Laden would probably be the President of the United States right now had Gore been elected. Only, Osama wouldn't be an elected President, or have a term limit.

Answer 5

Gotta disagree with you on this one. Not sure about the Iraqi Invasion, I am certain action militarily would have been taken against them. But, the 9/11 events were in place several years before it actually occurred when Clinton was President. So no matter who was elected, 9/11 was still planned to take place.

Answer 6

i could prefer to handle the argument made that the U.N. resolutions have been surpassed over. in actuality, they weren't. The resolutions stated that Saddam could desire to declare his WMD's. He filed a record asserting he had none. He met the determination via submitting the record and reporting certainly. Saddam had no WMDs and that's exactly what he stated. Bush et al like to spin it that he did not meet the UN resolutions - however the data are diverse. in certainty he did not forget approximately on the subject of the resolutions. He spoke back properly. the ingredient is, Saddam ought to not win. He follows the UN resolutions and gets invaded besides. Makes me ill. to answer your question, I doubt it, yet who's accepted with. On 9/12 Bush became already assembly with Rummy and something of the crooked gang and that they desperate then and there to invade Iraq. i'm effective the administration could have spun it by some skill to make it justified. additionally, i could factor out that Clinton became bombing Iraq only approximately a week for his 8 years in place of work. In a fashion, even regardless of the undeniable fact that i've got been adamantly hostile to the invasion from the begining, Bush had the balls to do what Clinton became in common terms prepared to do in secret and at the back of closed doorways. edit: wow...the place do human beings get those products? To the guy above, Saddam DID enable UN inspectors, he opened his u . s . up. Bush stated Saddam became mendacity approximately reporting that he had no WMD's so we could desire to consistently only bypass in. in actuality, the UN DID have inspectors there, yet Bush used the UN to tug them out. OMG....this makes me so offended. Saddam opened the country up yet Bush did not prefer inspectors. He needed an invasion.

Answer 7

Al Gore. LOL. Isn't he still counting chad in Floriduh? Maybe that's what has caused all of the global warming; too much hanging chad.

I think there would've been a lot more incidents after 9/11 if Gore would've been president.

Answer 8

How do you know there would have been no 9/11 attack?
They were already here prior to 9/11 were ready.

Now I would say you have a point about Iraq invasion.

Gore would be in peace talks with bin laden and work on global warming.

Answer 9

There's been plenty of 9/11's. If you're talking about the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01, and you really think Al Gore could've prevented it, then you're out of your mind. He, along with Clinton, are the reason for it.

Answer 10

Why do you suppose the attack would not have happened if Gore were President? Bush had only been in office less than 9 months, the terrorists had been here training for years. They had planned on the attacks happening earlier. Your reasoning makes no sense.

Who's the idiot who is giving all the common sense answers thumbs down?
