"I want to state this clearly, President Bush should not be blamed for Saddam Hussein's survival to this point. There was throughout the war a clear consensus that the United States should not include the conquest of Iraq among its objectives. On the contrary, it was universally accepted that out objective was to push Iraq out of Kuwait, and it was further understood that when this was accomplished, combat should stop." -- Algore, after the Gulf War in 1991, expressing support for the cease fire with Iraq.

"Back in 1991 I was one of a handful of Democrats in the United States Senate to vote in favor of the resolution endorsing the Persian Gulf War. And I felt betrayed by the first Bush administration's departure from the battlefield." -- Algore, this week, expressing condemnation for the cease fire with Iraq.

Well, which is it Al? Thanks to Neal for digging up the dirt.
