What is it with these people? Gore, like Clinton, goes to the Middle East and trashes his countries foreign policy. Do Democrats only remember the adage "Politics stops at the water's edge" when THEY are in power?
We already saw a classless Democrat display at the recent King funeral. But THIS type of stunt isn't just an insult. It undermines our national unity and encourages our enemies.
How long will it be before Al Zawahiri mentions this in his next tape?
Gore Laments U.S. 'Abuses' Against Arabs: Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed 'terrible abuses' against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.Hey Al: Did you take your bible with you to Saudi Arabia? Did you have a chance to attend church there on Sunday? No? And you want to talk about how nasty your country is? Do us all a favor and stay over there.
Gore said Arabs had been 'indiscriminately rounded up' and held in 'unforgivable' conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.
'The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake,' Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. 'The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States.'
Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been 'indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable.'
"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."
