Gore Says Bush Betrayed the U.S. by Using 9/11 as a Reason for War in Iraq

Gore Says Bush Betrayed the U.S. by Using 9/11 as a Reason for War in Iraq: "'He betrayed this country!' Mr. Gore shouted into the microphone at a rally of Tennessee Democrats here in a stuffy hotel ballroom. 'He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place.'"


General Clark followed Mr. Gore with a notably tamer speech. But he honored Mr. Gore, saying, "The 2000 election was stolen from the Democratic Party," and that Mr. Gore "would have been and should have been a great president."
