Gore Rips Bush On Economy, Terror Fight
Democrat Says Al-Qaida 'Back At Full Strength'

POSTED: 9:27 p.m. EST November 20, 2002

WASHINGTON -- Al Gore is attacking President Bush's handling of the war on terrorism and calling his economic plan "a catastrophic failure."

Gore says the warlords are back in control in Afghanistan, the Taliban is resurfacing, al-Qaida is back "at full strength," and *Osama bin Laden is still threatening the United States.

He also says Bush shouldn't be aiming at Iraq before finishing off al-Qaida, and notes that the two are not the same.


The former vice president says he still hasn't decided if he'll run against Bush in 2004. But politically, he says Bush has handed the Democrats the issue of the economy.

Gore says the administration should start over with tax cuts aimed specifically at the middle class.

The White House is dismissing Gore's comments as political posturing.

*Wasn't Gore the guy who laughed at Ollie North for being concerned about bin Laden?

According to the media, Saddam has his 3 billion or so in Libya or somewhere. Perhaps he is in the "what, me worry"? mode. :)
