Al Gore throws fuel on the fire...

**busyLivin** · 02-13-2006, 06:18 PM

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia -- 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.

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."

---------------------------------------------------------

I wonder if Gore notices that with his blind hatred of Bush, he may be convincing Saudis to launch more attacks against us?!?! Remember, 16/19 of the terrorists on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia. Absolutely irresponsible. Treasonous.

Hope not.. it's way over the line to say this in the lion's den....

I don't see this as a republican-democrat thing... Al Gore has gone off the deep end.

Post makes no sence...if the Saudi Arabians were our enemy then why didnt we attack them????? Might be because the Bush family is and has been making millions with them for decades..

The government is not in bed with Al Qaeda, but there are many sympathetic within the country. What doesn't make sense?

I'm not a fan of Saudi Arabia.. but this has nothing to do with the post.

Who said anything about the Saudi's being our enemy?

bottom line is Gore is inflaming the anti-American sentiment in the middle east.

True Story.

Seriously though, it isn't like that. I've been a pretty staunch supporter of him, but this Al Gore thing I find serious... no matter how you feel about Bush.

**Bazooka Tooth** · 02-13-2006, 07:18 PM

it sounds to me like he more than not just told them the truth...I believe what he told them, I believe him 99% more than anything I believe coming out of Bush's mouth

Don't make it about Bush.

I dont know what it will do...I think they already pretty much know what goes on, even more so than our citizens do.

I HOPE they dont take it out on our troops, but try some way to assassinate Bush.

and I am going to make this a Bush issue, because he is the one who sent our troops over there and kept our troops there.

Our troops are bored. They know nothing is there, and they know they shouldnt be there, so they are entertaining themselves by sadly treating their citizens like garbage.

Spew your partisan hate somewhere else please. If you'd like to bash the man, do it with some substance.

that's brilliant... isn't even talking about killing the president illegal?

**busyLivin** · 02-13-2006, 07:29 PM

regardless.. you obviously don't have a functioning brain cell to discuss anything if your solution is killing the president.

And how would you know what the troops think?
