Now Gore's claiming to have invented the SPR?!?! <<Al Gore's tendency to exaggerate his role in government came under renewed fire yesterday from the Bush campaign and energy experts who said his claim that he helped establish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a fairy tale. "To say that he was involved in the creation of the nation's petroleum reserve is just factually not true. He's becoming the Hans Christian Andersen of American politics," said Dan Sullivan, a spokesman for George W. Bush, the Republican presidential nominee. "There's definitely a pattern to embellish or exaggerate or make up facts," Mr. Sullivan said.In the aftermath of the Clinton administration's decision to sell 30 million barrels of oil from the SPR, Mr. Gore defended the action last Friday, saying that he was in on the ground floor when the nation's defense-related Strategic Petroleum Reserve was established by Congress in 1975. "I've been part of the discussion on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve since the days it was first established," Mr. Gore told reporters.>> washtimes.com
