That was then... this is now...

Al Gore, September 23, 2002:

"Back in 1991, I was one of a handful of Democrats in the United States Senate to vote in favor of the resolution endorsing the Persian Gulf War. And I felt betrayed by the first Bush administration's hasty departure from the battlefield."

Senator Al Gore, 1991:

"I want to state this clearly, President Bush should not be blamed for Saddam Hussein's survival to this point. There was throughout the war a clear consensus that the United States should not include the conquest of Iraq among its objectives. On the contrary, it was universally accepted that our objective was to push Iraq out of Kuwait, and it was further understood that when this was accomplished, combat should stop."

Ya gotta love them politicians... as well as our ever-vigilant media, which for the most part did not care to point out Mr. Gore's changed recollection of how he felt at the end of the Gulf War. Stuff like that only confuses viewers, I guess.

Cheers...
