I think it's too late


Former Vice President Al Gore called October 24, 2002 for a broad public health act to mobilize defenses against a possible biological attack, saying the existing threat will grow with a U.S. invasion of Iraq. Gore, seen delivering an economic policy speech at Brookings institution in Washington, on Oct. 2, cited intelligence estimates that the threat of a bioterror attack from Iraq would jump to 'pretty high' after a U.S. strike on Baghdad.

Sounds like some kind of national security excuse to try to ram Hillary-Care down our throats again.

"We need a national defense public health act to respond to the immediate threat in the wake of an attack against Iraq," Gore said in a speech at the George Washington University Medical Center.

Oh yeah, that'll scare the doo-doo out of Saddam.

Do people actually pay this dimwit to splatter his verbal diarrhea????

Step one would be to get him to close his mouth.

Got news for Algore.

The Bush administration has already done it.

Without any new legislation.

Without spending $10 billion.

It needed to be done. So, they just did it.

Sit down, Algore. And shut-up.

Gore himself wants to be innoculated against "Dutch Elm Disease".

ROFL!
