Appearing on NPR’s All Things Considered on September 23, 2002, former Vice President Al Gore said: ” ‘I am deeply concerned that the course of action that we are presently embarked upon with respect to Iraq has the potential to seriously damage our ability to win the war against terrorism. …I don’t think we should allow anything to diminish our focus on the necessity for avenging the 3,000 Americans who were murdered and dismantling that network of terrorists that we know were responsible for it.’ ”
