So much for this BS trumped-up lie against Gore. WASHINGTON (AP) -- The former chairman of the House International Relations Committee says Vice President Al Gore fully briefed Congress on Russian arms sales to Iran and that Gore's critics on the issue are playing politics and harming U.S. national security. Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., stepped into the dispute with a statement as the Clinton administration denied Gore made a secret agreement allowing Russia to continue selling arms to Iran without triggering U.S. sanctions against Russia. The understanding Gore reached in 1995 with then-Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin of Russia limited the sale of nuclear and conventional weapons technology to Iran and was in America's national security interest, Hamilton said.
