The terrorist would like nothing better than perform an act of
terror
to
change the out come of an American Election like they did in
Spain.
I
believe that if Gore had won in 2000, 9-11 would have been deal
with
the
same manor as the first Twin Towers attack in 93. (NOTHING).

********.

The Embassy bombings in 1998 didn't generate much of a response from
the
Clinton Administration (remember Gore was part of it)

Which was not a direct attack on United States territory,

A US Embassy is considered US territory so it would be a direct attack.

But not to Joe Q. Public, and certainly not the way an attack on New York
is.

You wouldn't have guessed that from Clinton's speech to the people on the
day he ordered the strike against the Sudanese asprin factory and the camps
in Afganistan where he implied that was only the start. The record for the
rest of his term supports the view that it wasn't really a start.

didn't cause
billions of dollars of damage to New York City and the Pentagon, and
didn't
kill 3000 plus US citizens in their own country.

so your comment should
be directed at you, since the Maddux comment is probably closer to
the
truth
than yours.

If you really think a Gore admin wouldn't have gone out and stomped on
the
Taliban

A couple of cruise missiles directed at nearly empty training camps.

They would have done a lot more than that.

Doubtful, if a campaign led by Gore would have continued for much longer
than that.

They would have had no choice
given public opinion.

So 90+ days of bombing and no commitment of US ground troops because it
might result in US casualties. Blair couldn't convince Clinton to even
threaten the use of ground troops in Kosovo and the quoted estimates on US
casualty figures for the troops deployed by Bush to support the Northern
Alliance would have given Gore a heart attack. So the Taliban would still be
in control and a previously devastated country has fewer structures intact.



as the Bush admin did you need to take those partisan blinders off.

The person with the blinders on is you.

Got it backwards.

No.

Looking at US foreign policy from the outside one doesn't
see huge differences in behaviour between the 2 parties.

Strange, the difference between how US forces were misused in an unnecessary
(to US interests) conflicts in Kosovo and Bosnia and real attacks against
the US were ignored (the Embassy bombings) is the difference we are talking
about now.
