Within the Margin of Error: Yet Another President Gore Timeline

The Iraq War happened because the hawks in the Bush administration wanted the war. Without Bush those hawks will also gone and thus there will be no Iraq War.

The Iraq War happened because Saddam tried to kill W's daddy and because of Mom he didn't feel comfortable in his parent's house until he could present them with Saddam's head on a platter. Mission Accomplished.:rolleyes:
 
I'm not familiar enough with Gore to know how he'd handle the war on terror. I don't believe Iraq would occur, or anything like it. Afghanistan would be more likely. Though, for all I know, he could have avoided the traditional warfare route and gone with intelligence actions, quick strikes, and assassination of terrorists like we've returned to under Obama. There might be calls from the GOP of him being a whimp for doing so, however. Though Gore could use the post 9/11 patriotism to say such criticisms were Unamerican. I wouldn't put it past the NeoCons to manage to pull it off, though.

I disagree. 9/11 would have forced Gore's hands no matter what regarding A-Stan. The fact that ALL of Mullah Omar's Taliban camps were fully evacuated 24 hours BEFORE 9/11 was fingerprint worthy evidence of guilt. Fox News lies to the contrary, the Afghan War was totally bi-partisan. I think even Dennis Kucinich didn't vote against it.

In the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcher went before the House of Commons the day after the islands were invaded to announce a naval task force was being assembled to sail within hours. Her government would have fallen without that task force. Once it became obvious of AQ's guilt, Gore could not survive without destroying Usama. With sledgehammers, not pinpricks. He would have been impeached, tried, convicted, and removed, otherwise. JFK and RFK both agreed during the Cuban Missile Crisis that if they hadn't acted Kennedy would have been impeached.:mad:
