And all this for Gore’s mercenary power grab, and his efforts to implement a punishing "scorch earth policy", for the purpose of national ruination if he does not succeed at his coup. In Gore’s mind, if Bush is to claim ultimate victory, then he must inherit a nation in turmoil, a tainted prize so to speak.
