The Old Al Gore

Powerline has a link to Gore in '92 on CSPAN Here. One doesn't really need comedians when there are Democrats around.

Did Republicans think differently of Saddam when he was attacking Iran? Sure. I think Americans liked the USSR a bit more when they were fighting with Germany as well. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" isn't very new.

But Gore didn't think Bush Sr was tough enough on Saddam AFTER the Gulf War! Saddam supported terrorists, attacks on US citizens and warships. Saddam had a nuclear program, Saddam used and intended to use again WMDs--Gore sounds like quite a hawk. He still sounded like a Hawk when he was VP and he strongly supported bombing Saddam for all the same problems.

It isn't so much that minds can change. Information, political expediency, age, learning and a whole set of other things can change minds. The wild thing is that if there is a "D" after your name, the MSM never points out the sins of your past (even the videotaped ones), and you are NEVER asked to give an account of "what changed your mind".
