My answer is: If Gore were in office, 9/11 might have not happened at all.

If Gore were in office, and 9-11 happened, he would've cowered in the corner of the oval office like a dog.

We also wouldn't have found it necessary to unilaterally invade a sovereign country.....

1) It is you're a moron, NOT your. You're is an abbreviation of the two words 'You' and 'Are', whereas 'Your' means 'belonging to you'.

2) What did I say in my post that was inaccurate?

One day Al was surfing the internet... (which he invented) and came across an interesting site. He hacked into it with the ease of Bill Gates in a Windows PC and read the emails inside. The evil Islamic fundamentalists were planning an attack on three of our airliners killing all the civilians inside.

He called his secretary... Morgan Fairchild (whom he'd seen naked numerous times) and had her alert the Secret Service that he was headed over to the Justice Department to take care of something of important National interest.

The helicopter Marine 1 was idling when he climbed into the pilot's seat and in short order, he had it airborne and headed over to the FBI's famed Hoover building. The FBI had a secret detail of anti-terror officers waiting to be picked up and whisked to the trouble spot. They were so amazed to see President Gore at the controls and couldn't stop saluting.

"Oh please stop fellas!" he shouted into the radio over the din of the rotor blades as he expertly hovered over the rooftop helipad. "Just get in... America needs us!" In they jumped and away they flew.

Ten minutes later President Gore landed Marine 1 at the airport in New York. He made it from Washington D.C. so fast because of his expert flying skills, and the top secret propulsion unit installed during Bill Clinton's administration. They had successfully kept it a secret from the now suicidal ex-President George W. Bush because they knew he would have abused it.

Out popped the terrorists from the walkway headed for the airliners. One by one they were aprehended and dragged away in handcuffs. "Make sure they're not abused in any way," said President Gore. "Put them in the Reagan Federal Penetentiary where we converted those secret torture chambers into nice living arrangements for just such dastardly crimminals."

And so it began the most enchanting dreamlike administration ever in American History. President Gore not only became a national hero, but he fixed the Health Care system, and the huge multi-kazillion dollar debt left by the mean nasty President Bush. (all without raising any taxes) Even citizens of the muslim nations where the terrorists came from were so impressed with his humane treatment of the terrorists, that they all named their children after him. All over the world there were cute little muslim boys named Al aliwhatever.

He was not only elected to a second term, but Congress ammended the constitution to allow him to serve for 12 more terms. Mel Gibson made a movie about his life (which won an academy award), and they lived happily ever after.

There... how's that?

With that kind of imagination, you should be a guest on the Rush Dimbulb show.

Marh H says.....My answer is: If Gore were in office, 9/11 might have not happened at all.

You mean like the first WTC attack in 1993 didn't happen?
You mean like the two U.S. Embassy attacks in 1998 didn't happen?
You mean like the attack on the U.S. Cole in 2000 didn't happen?

You mean like bin Laden's 1995 declaration of a jihad against all Americans, saying they would be killed anywhere, anytime....didn't happen?

Guess Big Al and Clinton were too busy?

JP5 are talking about important things here. Remember that that an operation as huge and complicated as first acquire flight training, and then simultaneous hijacking of four airliners that it takes years in preparation. There is no way they would has canceled just because Al Gore had won the election, the attack would have been carried out regardless.

*Afghanistan would have been attacked anyway.
*Iraq would probably been ignored.
*America would have kept it's global support due to the lack of an Iraq war.
*Normally hostile middle east countries may have joined in on the "war on terror" and sought a better relation with the US. This may even have included Iraq. Al Quadia would because of this have a harder time to relocate it's operations.

The real difference are that I believe that the attack on Iraq was the result of an personal vendetta on president Bush's part.
