Ah technology… spreading information many have forgotten and some wish the rest of us would. This is a story about Al Gore blasting Bush on Iraq. But wait! This is about Bush Sr not staying in Iraq and finishing the job. Great irony eh?

On September 29th, 1992, Senator Gore (VP hopeful at the time) gave a speech blasting George Bush Sr. for “looking the other way” on Iraq and Saddam. Gore felt that the job needed to be finished due to:

• Iraq’s ties to terrorism
• Iraq’s mass use of poison gas
• Iraq’s ongoing development of chemical & biological missile weapons
• Iraq’s attempts to obtain nuclear weapon technology
• And Saddam’s blatant abuses of human rights

Gore scoffs at the ineffective potential of sanctions (though they strangely continued well past Bush Sr) and really makes a impassioned (for Gore) call for ousting Saddam and dealing with Iraq.

WARNING: If you are a Democrat that truly believes that “Bush lied”, please do NOT watch the following video clip. The editors of the ARO fear it may shatter your entire world view with unpredictable consequences.
