Gore slams Bush's foreign policy

From the Washington Post via the Houston Chronicle:

Former vice president Al Gore accused President Bush's war Cabinet of reckless incompetence Wednesday, and called for the resignations of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and CIA Director George Tenet.

"George W. Bush promised us a foreign policy with humility. Instead, he has brought us humiliation in the eyes of the world," Gore said at a speech in New York sponsored by the liberal MoveOn PAC. "We simply cannot afford to further increase the risk to our country with more blunders by this team."

Gore, jabbing his fingers and raising his voice, called the horrors of Abu Ghraib prison "the predictable consequence of policy choices that flowed directly from this administration's contempt for the rule of law." His critique of that policy ranged from its aims to its vocabulary, and he complained about Bush aides' "frequent use of the word `dominance' to describe their strategic goal."


Go, Al!

I hope you all realize that Gore really should have won the 2000 election--unfortunately for America, unfortunately for Iraq, unfortunately for the world, the President's brother, Jeb, quite literally stole the election for George W. Bush in a disenfranchisement scam that kept tens of thousands of African-American voters in Florida outside the voting booths. I'll believe in justice again when Jeb and George are behind bars.
