Come On Al 06/04/04

I don’t like Al Gore’s politics, I’ll readily admit it. I think he’s too concerned with snail darters and spotted owls and not concerned enough with the working people of this nation.

I know he probably considers the internal combustion engine
a bigger enemy of the U.S.A. as some of the lesser third world dictators but I at least thought that he was a rational and reasonable man.

Well his verbal discourse of the past few days has made me seriously question this opinion.

Accusing President Bush of being guilty of war crimes, calling Abu Ghirad , “Bush’s gulag,” accusing Bush of denying terrorists their due civil rights, saying that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein’s regime and terror and saying that the President had betrayed the American people.

Gore also claimed that Bush had abandoned a long and successful policy of containment in favor of preemption. Containment? Oh really?

There were five terrorist attacks on the U.S.A. during the Clinton- Gore watch which went almost totally unanswered, plus Saddam tossed the U.N. weapons inspectors out on their ears which also went unanswered by the Clinton-Gore administration.

Before Mr. Gore starts to attack so vehemently someone else for today’s terrorist troubles, he needs to clean up his own back yard. What about the first attack on the World Trade Center? What about Osama Bin Ladin’s involvement in Somalia, where the dirty s.o.b.s dragged one of our dead soldiers around in the dirt and Clinton-Gore’s response was to ignore it?

What about the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, what was Mr. Clinton’s and Mr. Gore’s response? The Khobar Towers attack? And so on.

Mr. Gore also called the prisoners at Abu Ghirad victims and said that what happened there was not the random acts of “a few bad apples,” therefore indicting every man and woman who wears the uniform of the United States of America.

I wish that Al Gore was as concerned about the beheading of an
American citizen as he is with the rights of terrorists.

I wish he was as concerned with the welfare of our troops as he is about the “rights of terrorists.”

I wish that Mr. Gore could realize that we are at war with the most ruthless, dangerous, and dishonorable enemy we have ever faced.
I wish that if he was going to lay blame at the doorstep of a Presidential administration he could take a close look at the eight years he and Bill Clinton were at the helm and admit the truth that if the Clinton-Gore administration had taken advantage of the numerous opportunities they had to take Osama Bin Ladin into custody, maybe 9-11 would possibly never have happened.

Or what if the Clinton-Gore administration had given a strong and decisive response to the other attacks that happened while they were in office.

Use a little retrospect Mr. Gore. I know it would be painful but at least it would be honest.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?
