You just equated “Saudi citizens” with “prisoners.”

That oughta be good for at least four dollars a gallon. You win!

On Iran, Gore complained of “endemic hyper-corruption” among Tehran’s religious and political elite and asked Arabs to take a stand against Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes but the United States and other Western countries suspect Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

“Is it only for the West to say this is dangerous?” Gore asked. “We should have more people in this region saying this is dangerous.”

“The US has a policy of treating all prisoners according to our law. The american treatment of prisoners is substantially better than almost anywhere in the world. When mistreatment is alleged it is investigated and prosecuted.”

Now that actually ANSWERS the question, vs dragging the US through the mud.

Question 2: If Al Gore was telling the truth, why should anyone be angry at Al Gore?

Question 3: Do the actions Al Gore described bother you more than Al Gore discussing them?

Question 4: What kind of a–hole are you if you answer “No” to number 3?

This is one of those threads where the moral filthiness of the Bush apologists is impossible to deny. Instead of criticizing the Bush administration for their poisonous behavior, these imperialist ass-suckers criticize Al Gore for speaking the truth.

Congratulations, sh-t-heads, you’ve got the gov’t you deserve. It’s a crying shame the decent people are stuck with it, too.

a prominent American should go abroad and try to undo the PR damage done by the Bush administration and its lunatic followers by assuring one of our supposed Arab allies that a majority of Americans understand the difference between racial fear mongering and constructive efforts to reduce and eliminate the threat of terrorism.

Right.

Some americans don t believe it is appropriate for former heads of state to go overseas and bad mouth the country.

No leftist americans believe that, but most of the rest of us do.

Left.

In their undead minds, it isn t the US mistreating people that s the problem, it s the Americans saying that mistreatment is wrong that are the problem.

Right.

This is nothing more than throwing gasoline on a fire in an attempt to subvert the bush administration& .pure partisan politics that is a cheap attempt at a headline.

Tell you what, peed’. Take a crack at it. Imagine you have been invited to speak to our ally, Saudi Arabia. They express concern about the way Saudi citizens have been treated in after 9-11 and they want your opinion on why that’s happening.

Give ‘em an answer. Try not to send the price of gas over $5 a gallon.

JWG, he s probably talking about this report

Thanks!

Gawl, thanks for the laugh! You just described my reaction to most of the news during the 1990’s. Just substitute Clinton for Bush.

JWG, he’s probably talking about this report, although the interviewee says that it is 6/03, this report is 4/03.

Hey WRHearst the second, stop with the yellow journalism.

Hannity didn’t change the subject…you did.

He asked a good question, is it appropriate for the former VP to go overseas and bad mouth this country. Some call it “airing dirty laundyr in public”.

It is bad for families, and it is bad for this country. How is it helping out situation to stand up and review a litany of complaints agaisnt us? Some are undoubtetly true, who in Saudi is going to help solve them?

This is nothing more than throwing gasoline on a fire in an attempt to subvert the bush administration….pure partisan politics that is a cheap attempt at a headline.

Does anyone on the right have half a brain? The idiot from Wizbang writes this: “Given the choice of erring on the side of offending Arabs or erring on the side of reducing national security, the people of America would rather the former.” As if calling Muslims “ragheads,” torturing them, detaining them without due process, deporting them because of their ethnicity and generally belittling and bombing them is a great way to ensure national security. God forbid a prominent American should go abroad and try to undo the PR damage done by the Bush administration and its lunatic followers by assuring one of our supposed Arab allies that a majority of Americans understand the difference between racial fear mongering and constructive efforts to reduce and eliminate the threat of terrorism. Is it appropriate? Hell yes it is.

Is Al Gore really saying anything these people don’t already know and can’t read for themselves in their own papers and our government websites?

semanticleo: I had to google for animus…. never took latin before. thank you. q.

No problema. Wondered if there was a connection.

1979 – Iranian Hostages – October Surprise – Backdoor requests to hold the hostages thus undermining the Carter administration’s attempts through more diplomatic channels.

He DID’NT answer the question! The question was “is it appropriate”…not is it accurate.

Some americans don’t believe it is appropriate for former heads of state to go overseas and bad mouth the country.

No leftist americans believe that, but most of the rest of us do.
