The Bush Administration keeps right on making the case as requested (demanded, more like):

“We clearly know that there were in the past and have been contacts between senior Iraqi officials and members of al-Qaida going back for actually quite a long time,” Rice said. “We know too that several of the (al-Qaida) detainees, in particular some high-ranking detainees, have said that Iraq provided some training to al-Qaida in chemical weapons development.”

Bush, speaking with reporters in the Oval Office earlier Wednesday, said he was determined to battle terrorism on two fronts ‚Äî Saddam’s Iraq and bin Laden’s al-Qaida network because “they’re both equally as bad, and equally as evil, and equally as destructive.”

The widely held view has been that while Saddam and bin Laden both oppose the United States, their motivations are too different for them to work together. Saddam seeks secular power; bin Laden’s drive comes from religious motivations and his opposition to the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world.

“No one is trying to make an argument at this point that Saddam Hussein somehow had operational control of what happened on Sept. 11, so we don’t want to push this too far, but this is a story that is unfolding, and it is getting clearer, and we’re learning more,” Rice said.

And as expected the Demo-Quislings keep right on doing little else but whining about it too, as Gephardt and Daschle held hands and wiped each others noses at a press conference, and addle-pated droid AlGore said:

Gore said he was concerned that “the policy we are presently following with respect to Iraq has the potential to seriously damage our ability to win the war against terrorism and to weaken our ability to lead the world in this new century.”

Actually, I don’t disagree at all with this. This policy of obstructionism, obfuscation, and pointless head-in-the-sand carping most certainly has very great potential to damage our ability to win the WOT. And the Democretins should definitely cut it out right away. Oh wait, that’s not who he meant.

On Thursday, Gore also criticized the Justice Department under Attorney General John Ashcroft, saying FBI warnings about possible terrorist activity before the Sept. 11 attacks had been ignored.

“The warnings were there,” Gore said. He contended the Justice Department had assigned only one FBI agent to monitor Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaida, while 13 FBI agents were assigned to eavesdrop on a brothel in New Orleans.

Oh, the warnings were most assuredly ignored all right – by the Clinton/Gore team. Hey Al, the warnings started in 1993 with the first WTC bombing, you empty suit. Tell me, how many FBI agents did your Administration assign to Osama back then? Oh, that’s right, in those days the FBI was way too busy harassing and intimidating women who were victimized by your old boss and good pal, the White House travel office staffers, and various political opponents. They didn’t have time to bother with terrorists. And neither did you or Billy The Kid.

“Where is the sense of priorities?” asked Gore.

Try checking up your asspipe, gasbag. Maybe there’s at least something interesting in there – it’s for certain that whatever resides in that wasteland between your ears is not interesting in the least. These lowlifes make me sick. I’m beginning to feel that if even one damned Democrap is left in office after the fall elections, it’ll represent a case of complete mass insanity on the part of the voters. Well, except Zell Miller, I guess. And here’s the Fox News headline, which is classic:

Gore: Iraq War Makes World More Dangerous

In other news, Gore came out strongly in favor of pretty girls, hot meals, kittens, and fresh strawberry shortcake. With his voice rising to a hoarse yell, he condemned disease, migraines, ants in your pants, and house fires. In closing, he shrieked “I will fight for you!” as the attendants put his arms into the white suit with the buckles on the back and led him from the hall.

What a goddamned boob.
