Let's not forget who was responsible for 9/11..... muslim extremists!!
Besides was Gore not in charge of an air travel security commiteee? Or have you not heard because of the liberal media? Gore was the person who made it illegal for anytype of racial, ethnic, or religious profiliing! That law made the terrorist attacks THAT MUCH EASIER for the hijackers! I'm not trying to blame 9/11 on Gore, even though tons of liberals are blaming it on Bush, but at least the airlines could have looked into the handful of muslim men who were traveling together! And aren't muslims the real terrorists? When was the last time a non-muslim terrorist attacked America? (and don't even answer Bush).

I would be interested in exploring your sources.
Please list them. Thx

The Gore Commission Demanded Tougher Airline Security, But Airlines And Conservatives Said No
Janet Hessert

"The federal government should consider aviation security as a national security issue, and provide substantial funding for capital improvements. The Commission believes that terrorist attacks on civil aviation are directed at the United States, and that there should be an ongoing federal commitment to reducing the threats that they pose."
Gore Commission final report, February 12, 1997

On July 25, 1996, shortly after the crash of TWA flight 800, President Clinton asked Vice President Gore to chair a commission on improving air transportation safety. As a result, the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security, commonly known as the Gore Commission, conducted an in-depth analysis of the U.S. commercial airlines' safeguards against terrorist attacks. In its final report, the Gore Commission found that security measures used by U.S. airlines were extremely inadequate, and made over fifty recommendations to improve security.

--SNIP--

Not surprisingly, the conservative press joined the airline industry in attacking the Gore Commission report. Most of the arguments advanced by the right focused on the "cost effectiveness" of implementing the recommendations. Susan Ellingwood's article in the March 10, 1997 edition of the New Republic entitled "Hot Air" is typical of the conservative response to the Gore Commission:
On a cost-effective basis, the recommendations simply don't add up. Robert W. Hahn, in a sobering article in the libertarian magazine Regulation titled "the cost of antiterrorist rhetoric," provides a table that looks at the Gore Commission recommendations, the amount requested for each proposal and the projected costs. The Gore Commission estimates that its recommendations would cost $429.4 million. But, according to Hahn, that's too low. Hahn says that "a full passenger-bag match alone will cost $2 billion annually." Actuarial studies, Hahn notes, assume the "implicit value of life for air travelers" to be "between $5 and $15 million." Two billion dollars a year to guard against terrorism and sabotage--a threat which, Hahn notes, is responsible for a grand total of thirty-seven deaths in U.S. planes since 1982--works out to "a cost per life saved of well over $300 million."

So you have shed some more light on this issue:

If Gore were elected, maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

I recommend you get your facts straight before you spin your imagination into the forum. Although I must congratulate you on one thing: You did a great job of misrepresenting the truth, and that's required in order to be a good Neocon! You should fit right in, and that’s got to make you feel good. Terrific job

Good day.

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

Because there were repeated warnings that Clinton/Gore had, just as Bush had, and no one read into to them as highly credible. But being the non-partisan neo-commie that you are, you already new that right?

..your coke-abusing whiskey drinking AWOL coward didn't do a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing and 2700 poeple paid the price for his ignorance with their lives....

BTW, this is the last post of yours that I will repond to....

Just because your mommy lets you use the computer DOESN'T mean you can come and play with the grown-ups....

Now scoot you little rascal, scoot!!

A witty comment, although had you forgotten the hand that your country may have received from countries shunned by W's regime, ie. Russia and various European countries?

If Gore were President, he would have apologized for putting the buildings in the way of those planes. Then he would make it law that we would have to start each day by hugging a tree. And Tipper would censor absolutely everything.

Hehehe, do I sound like DBG (well the polar opposite there of, but still using about the same amount of logic and reason)?

I don't know after how Gore has been acting lately, i'm not too sure that he wouldn't have pushed the red button until it broke.
