Apparently you forget that Al Gore was critical of the Bush administration for not taking more action against Iraq during the years we were enforcing the no fly zones and no cooperation from Hussein to verify what EVERYBODY thought Hussein was hiding. Everybody has an extremely short, close minded memory. Gore was actually pushing for war before 9/11. If he had become president we would have gone to war in Iraq as well...no difference!!.

He would have gotten the same intel from the same Iraqi foreign nationals and same CIA, the same photos and we would be there. Again, he CRITICIZED Bush in televised debates about the LACK of military action against Iraq over the stalemate that was going on between the UN and Iraq. Who cares about whether Bush or Gore won by whatever amount of votes....the same result was coming in regards to war. PERIOD!!!!!!!!! Gore was ready for war, pushed for it and 9/11 would have triggered him as well.......
It's interesting to see someone on these boards that can actually look into the future that might have been.  Tell me, Is my Merrill Lynch stock going to rebound?

Looks like you have to work on your memory first before I look into the future for you...LOL. If you don't remember what Gore was pushing for well before 9/11 than I can't help you. He was pushing for more direct action towards Iraq as did a lot of people in that time. Gore was tired of the year after year of resolutions and the inability to let investigators finish and verify what Hussein had or didn't have. Gore along with many Democrats AND Republicans were pushing for military action. Then...9/11 happens and virtually everyone, Republic and Democrat alike voted for war in Iraq. You can't blame one party or the other for the mess we are in.....they both have responsibility.

What I don't like is that people forget how much of a role the Democrats had in all this. They are as much responsible as the Republicans are. Neither have clean hands. But now Democrats are hitting a new level of low by trying to block military aide and support that our soldiers need so that they can win political points back home. If you think that is okay to do, put our soldiers at more risk than they already are..then again, you are a lost cause. We need to give our soldiers what they need to protect themselves and NO PARTY should use that to get a leg up on the other.

^^ And thus are the sins of this war defined.
The sin was not the invasion.
It was not phoney evidence.
It is the exploitation of the war by petty asshole politians who will do or say anything to make W look bad.

Problem is; they are too stupid to do it well and are painfully transparent.

Is Chilean sea bass an endangered species?

No. But large, unreported catches from illegal fishing of this valuable fish has made effective management difficult. In 2000, more than 16,000 tons of Chilean sea bass were legally harvested in the Antarctic management area. Estimates vary, but there may be up to twice that amount taken illegally. Some Chilean sea bass fisheries are managed in a responsible manner, but there are some areas where the species has been and continues to be overfished.

The public is rightly concerned about the health and abundance of fish making its way into the American seafood market. Chilean sea bass is gaining a popular following now that it is offered in many restaurants and supermarkets.

I agree, but so should Bush.  And remember, Gore did win the popular vote.

If it came down to Gore or Bush, Gore should have won.  I know it seems like Bush may have been better for his more defensive foreign policy, but ultimately, Bush's only real thing he credits himself with has done more harm than good for the country.  You can go on and on about Gore... but Bush is without a doubt one of the worst presidents in history.  Just read some of the quotes the man has said.  After listening to him for 5 minutes, I don't see how anyone could come to the conclusion Bush knows what the fuck hes talking about.

Theres plenty of hypocrisy to go around...

I still want to know how the hell he's supposed to tell apart one fish from another unless he's an experienced fisherman. It's not like he gets the menu and it says "Chilean Bass - Exquisite, Endangered Fish" or anything. I mean, how the hell is he supposed to know about this? Do you want him to carry around a book of all the endangered species including pictures of them with him at all times?

Oh I remember quite well.  What I find interesting is you seem to know what Gore would have done.  You ASSUME.  Big mistake, especially in politics.

For the record they are not trying to block military aide.  They are trying to set a timetable for withdraw of troops.  If Bush continues to ignore the American public which congress represents, they will be forced to withdraw aide.  That would be Bush's choice, not the Congress's.   Congress has a low rating because in my opinion they are doing what the American people voted most of them in to do.  Represent them.  The large majority of American people want us out of Iraq, period.  The logistics should come from the Military for sure.  But, the fact remains, we the people want us out of this Bush nighmare!

Are you nuts? You stated exactly why politicians are using the aide blockade to try to force Bush to give in and he won't. It's pathetic. They aren't withdrawing aide either. The material support and money is sitting back here at home. The new vehicles built to withstand the new powerful IED's are sitting in parking lots here at home. That is not a withdrawal of aide...it is a blockade. McCain said it best the other night...He isn't angry, he is beyond angry, he is just sad.....why? Because he can not believe that the Democrats are using this tactic by blocking aide to soldiers who are there whether we like it or not. Blocking aide solely so they can beat Bush and if Bush doesn't give in then they can run around saying "I told you so, I told you so...nanananana". That is totally pathetic and an insult to the men and women still in Iraq who are only doing their job. To hold this aide hostage for political gains is the ultimate of backstabbing of your own troops.

Al Gore flies COMMERCIAL. Remember the story about how he went through a security checkpoint. He flies COMMERCIAL RELIGIOUSLY.

And, he doesn't "preach" not using energy, but REDUCING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT. Something he has spent more money on then you probably make.

He was also one of the first to speak on the issue (since the EARLY 90's), so there goes the bandwagon arguement.
