Rep. King (R) rips Al Gore in the NY Post

February 14, 2006 -- WASHINGTON — House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King yesterday blasted Al Gore as "disgraceful" for claiming that President Bush committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after 9/11 and is wrongly barring Saudi visitors.

"Since 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis, it would have been irresponsible for us not to impose strict conditions. It's just common sense. Al Gore seems to have gone off the deep end," said Rep. King (R-L.I.).

"It certainly answers the question of what Al Gore would have done if he'd been president on 9/11.

4. Nice quote--sums up my impression perfectly. I'm hoping that they feel
threatened enough to feel they have to start "swift-boating" Gore. I'm hoping to vote for him in the near future!

Edited on Tue Feb-14-06 08:01 AM by zbdent

6. Not exactly
He appears to be ignorant of the fact (or ignoring it on purpose to make his argument seem valid) that there are Arabs in other places besides Saudi Arabia.

7. I think that is the first time I have heard a Repub mention that...
In effect, saying that we invaded the wrong country. Better late than never , I guess?
