Al Gore - The Ugly American

Al Gore (remember him?) spoke recently at an economic forum in Saudi Arabia. Well, you just know that wherever Al goes his mouth is sure to follow. And it did not fail him, again sadly. He told a mostly Saudi audience that the U.S. government committed terrible abuses against Arabs after 911 & that it had indiscriminately rounded up Arabs & held them in unforgivable conditions.

"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

This wise old sage does not give any particulars - no names of abused Arabs, no circumstances or details of abuse, no examples of "unforgivable conditions" in which they were held.

If he knew of such cases, why didn't he use his mouth right after 911 to point out what these poor folks were going through? After all, it was his patriotic duty to unmask the abuses of the evil Bush administration against these peace-loving Arabs.

Well, Al-Gore has his agenda - not to mention the hefty speakers fee he gets from the conference.

Gore is a petty, bitter, has-been politician who borders on a neurotic obsession to trash Bush, & in doing so trashes the USA. The old adage that politics stops at the waters edge no longer applies to the likes of Gore. Or Jimmy Peanut-brain Carter. Carter has his own bitterness to deal with & releases it in speeches overseas that do as much damage to the credibility of this country as does Al-Gores' rants. Does Gore need to be reminded that 15 of the 19 highjackers of 911 were Saudi Arabian? Where are his rants about this? Where are his rants about the Saudi government being less then fully cooperative in fighting terrorism? Where are his rants about the oppressive Saudi government & their continuing support of radical Wahhabi religious schools? But Gore knows which side his bread is buttered on- speakers fees. It aso assuages his perpetual bitterness. Too bad it further alienates Arabs to America.

Gore is a traitor to this country - a deplorable example of a former Vice-President & American.

But he is not alone. He has plenty of company with the likes of Carter, Michael Moore & most of the Democrat leadership. Throw in elitist rags like The New York Times & other "America last" media & it's no wonder this country is so divided.
