*Comment*
He blames Bush for the actions of US Army Reservists. I'm here to tell you that those Reservists knew what they were doing was wrong. They, due to their jobs, had special training on matters of the geneva convention. Well, as a Marine, I was told at Parris Island the rights of POWs accoording to the Geneva convention and I have to tell you that theirs were violates. How the heck do you relieve them of responsibility of their actions and put them on another person?! Frankly, Rumsfield, Tenet and Rice have done their jobs exactly as directed, and all within the limits that previous administrations placed on them. (Can you say Church commission?) Why should they resign for doing their jobs correctly?
Definition of Al Gore: A very sad, sad, pouty, bitter, and angry man. Therapy would *definately* be in his best interrest.

Posted by: skywalker at May 28, 2004 01:06 AMI just think he's very bitter about loosing the presidency. At least, that's how he comes off to *me* anyway. From what I remember, I don't agree with his politics either (though I must say, it's been a long time since I've given him the time of day). Truth be known - there's something about his expressions and sometimes his mannerisms that I just don't trust. Maybe that's just personal on my part - though, I'm not a bias person - or at least, *I* don't believe anyway (matter of opinion I guess).
