Wow! I didn't see this coming! Here is who Gore is going to endorse for president..

How many attacks like 9/11 happened before? 9/11 did happen on Georges watch, so he gets to claim it.

How are we going to pay for rebuilding Iraq? Is that sitting well with the American public, same things apply raise taxes or slash what we got.

Many of the world's most repressive dictators have been friends of America. Tyrants, torturers, killers, dictators have been aided, supported, and rewarded handsomely for their loyalty to US interests.

Since no WMD were found and we are not doing it for "oil" when are we going to help the rest of the countries for humanitarian reasons. How did we decide who needs help first?

Fine with me Taxman, I was just trying to make a point anyway!

There's a book you should read... it's called Dereliction of Duty and it gives a pretty clear view on how Clinton's failure to go after the terrorists when he had the chance led to the disaster GWB inherited on 9/11! (It's a shame we can't link to things posted in the old Hot Potatoes.... we had discussions ad nauseum about this very subject...)

You're right about funding the rebuilding... it's certainly got to come from somewhere. It'll be interesting to see what "suffers" because the money is being shipped to Iraq. Quite frankly, there's so much pork in every financial item that passes through Congress, perhaps those wasteful things could go by the wayside?

Those tyrants, dictators, etc, you speak of weren't just helped or welcomed by Republican administrations! The Democrats have aligned themselves with some pretty bad characters over the years too!

I'm not sure I completely understand your questions on the "humanitarian" issue, but then again, I'm tired so it's probably just my eyes crossing...

Taxman wanted me to give some information about the dictators that have been rewarded by America, either by loans, (This is not just Republicans and this practice has gone on for years)
