Gore Denounces Bush's Iraq Efforts

Upon awakening the audience, each gave Gore high marks for artistic merit, with an extra 10th added for the dismount.

[...] "After Sept. 11, we had enormous sympathy, goodwill and support around the world," Gore said. "We've squandered that, and in one year we've replaced that with fear, anxiety and uncertainty, not at what the terrorists are going to do but at what we are going to do." [...]

'In my odd little stilted, lisping, world we would have merely continued to writhe pitifully upon the bloody ground and beg for more sympathy and tried to make people like us. Not that it would have mattered, because the people who hate us will hate us even if we were ground up into paste, but did I mention that I really won the election? Lockbox! Risky scheme! See, I still got it.'

[...] Gore said war with Iraq could lead to the creation of legions of enemies angry and fearful about U.S. domination and also prompt a short-term power vacuum that could increase the danger of chemical and biological attacks. [...]

Yep, much better to just go with the legion of angry enemies we already have who are fearful of U.S. domination, and let them know that we love them and understand why they hate us and all convert to the Religion of Idiocy and sing nice pretty songs together and hold hands and hug. All the mean people in the world would blink and wake up wondering what all the fuss was about, and we would all chuckle together. And children would be able to sit under Al's spreading branches and listen to the birds flitting about in his leaves, as squirrels chase each other in and out of the hollows of his trunk. Awww, what a pretty, pretty world!
