Do you think if Gore was pres.?

Question

After 9-11 happened do you think we would be at war if it was Al Gore and not Pres.Bush in office.

Answer 1

considering the clintons and gore had ample time to defend this country and chose to ignore it wed probably be speaking arabic now...
uss cole
clinton no response
african embassy bombings
clinton no response
wtc one
clinton no response
at least six chances to capture or kill bin laden in sudan
clinton no reponse
i think you see my point.

Answer 2

I doubt it may be lots different than that's. now not as undesirable as you're saying, and not distinctly much as good as his followers think of it may be. He could have confronted a Republican Congress which might have blocked lots of his courses. with out Bush in place of work, the GOP would desire to have held onto its majority in Congress and Gore could be dealing with lots of the comparable frustration that Bush is in the present day. Bush grew to become into fortunate to have a GOP majority in Congress for six years; I doubt Gore could have had a Democratic majority for to any extent further than 2 years if that.

Answer 3

probably.

al gore and george bush have their fingers in the same honey pot for the most part. the wars that have been fought since 9/11 would have benefited both (although bush more).

the difference is that al gore would look good doing it.

Answer 4

We'd be at war with outdated solar panels. He would tell us to throw rocks and them and to throw them into the sea as to not "mess up the air." He would have global warming conventions snowed out and still be trying to convince us the earth is warming by 800 degrees every second... oh no! He would also brag about creating the Internet 2.0 !

Answer 5

First I think there's good reason to think 9/11 wouldn't have happened in the first place. Bush's people ignored repeated warnings from Clinton's people because they just weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11. Gore would have learned about the planned attack and done something to prevent it.

But other than that, Bush used 9/11 to justify something he wanted to do anyway. He came into office wanting to oust Saddam and 9/11 provided the cover. Even Bush freely admits Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, and these days high sources in the administration even admit it was never really about WMD.

Finally Gore would not have ignored his generals and experts and got us involved in a war we couldn't win and couldn't leave. Whatever faults Gore has, he is at least pragmatic enough to listen to experts and not ideologues in some neo-con think tank.

Answer 6

Gore would still be in the White House basement asking if it's safe to go outside. If that had happened, the "Inconvenient Truth" never would have been made and released, and we wouldn't have global warming today.

Answer 7

I think we would be fighting the people who attacked us - not invading unrelated countries.

Koala - we would be able to see your point if a word of it was true. The fact is those responsible for all of those attacks are either dead or in jail today. The exception of course is the 2000 attacks which took place 3 months before Bush came to power. Why did Bush decide not to continue Clinton's good record of hunting down those that attack us? Why did congressional republicans criticize Clinton for a strike on an AQ base in Afghanistan in 1998 that almost took out OBL. Did they think the president should be more focussed on defending his sex life than defending out country?

Answer 8

If Al Gore had been President, the National Cathedral would now be a mosque.

Answer 9

The Hercules with two hands holding the globe on global warming?
Sorry his hands are full.

Answer 10

If Gore had been president, no doubt we'd have surrendered to the terrorists long ago. We'd all be praying to Allah by now

Thank heavens Gore lost!
