Larry K:

The Saudi royal family isn't exactly popular in the Arab world either so when they make deals with their old oil buddy, Bush, don't think fir one moment that represents approval of Bush... You need to put that one back thru yer calculator...

And judging Gore on a plan that he was part of for increased airport security in the 90's does *not equal* ignoring a warning that people were going to attack US perhaps using aircraft...

And while we're at it, where have you come accross the whopping 100,000 to 200,000 predicted war deaths by the left? That is a perposterious! Sure you might fing one nut who threw out those figures but that statement on the whole is nothing but put crap.

And whoever stated above that we on the left didn't warn of the urban warfare situation might want to go back and reread some of the pre-invasion threads. It was brought up over and over... I must have brought it up a dozen times myself....

And I'm stickin' with my premise that 9/11 wouldn't have occured under a Gore administartion... The fact that planning had gone back into the 90's sounds good but when we look at just how incredibly easy it was to pull off, it could have just as easily been pulled off during the Clinton administartion.... but it didn't.

One last thing, given the current situation in Iraq and the quagmire it is becomming, I'd rather have Saddam in power. Sure hes a bad man. So is George Bush and he's in power... Lots of bad men are in power.

The US could have realed him back in, just like they have done before and actually gotten him to eat out of their hands but that wouldn't be as entertaining for Joe Sixpack and plus, wouldn'y have created major profits for Bush's campaign contributors...

And, like Walter Cronkite used to say...

...that's the way it is...
