Al Gore Loses It...Again

It is not bad enough that Al Gore foams at the mouth when addressing lefties here in the States, now he is exporting his idiotic rhetoric overseas. Speaking at the Jiddah Economic Forum, old Al did his usual rant, this time tailoring it to his audience. Of course, as always, Al was long on accusations and short on specifics and proof. Typical Al Gore. The thought that this man was almost elected President is frightening. Investor's Business Daily has some comments on Al.

"The chief demon, of course, surely must be Gore's continuing quest for the presidency. Embittered he may well be by his loss of the highest office six years ago. But showing such supreme disloyalty to his country, as he did in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, cannot be condoned as an honorable means of pursuing the prize once more.

Speaking at the Jiddah Economic Forum, an event staged by oil-rich Saudi royalty, Gore indicted the American government for its "terrible abuses" of Arabs since the 9-11 attacks on New York and Washington. Such treatment, he charged, played into the hands of al-Qaida.

And just what was the nature of these abuses? Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

Understand: Fifteen of the 19 al-Qaida hijackers on that fateful day, a day that saw 3,000 Americans go to their fiery deaths, a day that created thousands more orphans, were Saudi citizens. Those hijackers lived undetected in this country precisely because immigration authorities had been permissive.

So Gore believes the tightening of the rules, post-9-11, was one of a series of "terrible abuses"?

And just what, in Gore's theology, is "unforgivable"? His outburst came on the heels of an absurd United Nations report accusing the U.S. of torturing wartime captives at Guantanamo, where guards, struggling to keep hunger strikers alive, reportedly have resorted to intravenous feeding."

I guess I missed the big round up of Saudis. As for immigration, this country's immigration policy has been far too lenient. I shudder to think what Al's reaction to 9/11 would have been had he been elected.

I will have more on this bogus UN report later. What I will say, is that the people that created this report, were invited to see the conditions at Gitmo and not one of them bothered to go. So much for that report. - Sailor
