"The resulting chaos in the aftermath of a military victory with Iraq could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than does Saddam," Gore said.

How th' heck does he figure that!?

Lemme see--Fundy Muslims are trying to kill us for our support of Israel, having bases in Saudi Arabia, the sanctions against Iraq and Gulf war I.

Iraq supports them and is building weapons of mass destruction--being a previous aggressor against his neighbors, US interests, and throwing UN inspectors out, the onus is on Saddam to prove he doesn't have these weapons. It ain't a US innocent-until-proven-guilty court, it's the realpolitik world of nations at the brink of war.

The way I figger it, Algore is in a no-win situation:

Either, a) We attack, discover and thwart Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and suffer another terrorist attack on our soil galvanizing the US against Algore and the do-nothing crowd.

OR:

b) We do nothing, Saddam uses his weapons against US forces or Israel, they/we nuke him and we are on the brink of armageddon. The US suffers another terrorist attack on our soil galvanizing the US against Algore and the do-nothing crowd.

No matter what happens, Algore loses. What is he thinking?

How is doing nothing in the face of a threat to the nation ever a good thing?
