Yeah, but can you imagine if Al Gore were president? (sic)

(regarding September the 11th and the aftermath)

Well, first the attack probably would have been prevented or not allowed to happen.

If the attack actually occurred, US military aircraft would not have had an order to stand down, and would have attempted to prevent at least one attack.

If the attack still occurred, the Bin Laden family would not have been allowed to immediately leave the country after all US planes were grounded.

* If the attack would still have occurred, the president would likely have been blamed.

If the attack occurred, there would be no war in Iraq because the focus would have been on finding Bin Laden and fixing Afghanistan.

If there was war in Iraq, it would not have been undertaken without UN support.

If a war was undertaken without UN support, the justifications for that war would be solely humanitarian, the American people would not have been panicked by tales of mushroom clouds and poisonous gas.

If a war was undertaken it would have been planned more thoroughly and the significant costs of that war would be explained to the American people.

* If the American people were presented with these costs and reasons for war at the outset, they would not have been supportive.

If war was undertaken, there would be no tax cut for the top 1% earners in America.

If a war was undertaken, there would be no lies told to justify fighting it.

If a person in the diplomatic community on an intelligence mission publicly challenged the administration about reasons for the war, that person's spouse would not have their career jeopardized out of spite.

If a person in the diplomatic community on an intelligence mission publicly challenged the administration about reasons for the war, there would be no revealing of the identities of American counter-terror intelligence agents out of spite.

If an agent was revealed, the administration would summarily discover, fire, and prosecute the leaker.

Yes, I can imagine.

so much better than that gawd awful Gdumbya.
