At least with Gore, the Republicans would have kept the fire lit under him.

What makes you think Gore would have done anything?  If the Clinton/Gore record is any indication of how they would have handled  it, they would have done nothing.

The Clinton/Gore administration failed miserably when it came to their primary responsibility of protecting the American People. 

President Bush is still strong on the WOT.  

I look forward to reading part two when you post it.

I've said for several years now that the post-9/11 world would be much different if Gore had won in 2000 . . . but not in the way most people here might think.

If Gore had been president on 9/11, I think there is a very strong likelihood that the U.S. would have engaged in a massive military campaign to obliterate major cities in the Middle East -- including Kabul, Islamabad, and perhaps Baghdad.

What people need to understand is that a Democratic president -- as Cashill so clearly points out -- has far more leeway to engage in this kind of military action than any Republican would be. And a quick review of modern U.S. history supports this, too. Democratic presidents got the U.S. involved in most major military campaigns in the last 100 years, and have really never had to answer for any of them (including Vietnam, which is still called "Nixon's War" to this day even though it was started under a Democratic administration and escalated under a Democratic administration, and a Democratic president fouled the whole thing up).

Al Gore would have gotten far less grief for killing several million people in the Middle East than George W. Bush got when the U.S. military was caught putting underwear on the heads of prisoners.

Very well stated, and I agree 100%.

You’re very articulate so I would like your opinion. Why do you suppose the Clinton/Gore Administration never responded to the terrorists’ attacks when they had the opportunity?

I had to read until post 20 before I got to a reply from someone who apparently read past the third paragraph - Jeesh.
