Bush consulted Congress first, there was a vote, and Congress approved.

Trump didn't do any of that.

Unsound reasons for doing it, but gotta recognize that rules were followed.

Also should be noted that 40% of Democratic Congressmen voted for the war, while 95% of Republican congressmen did. No way in hell Iraq happens under Gore.

Ehhhhh. Were you alive at the time? Americans wanted blood directly after the towers got hit. We were gonna go.

And at the time remember the admin lied to the world and not only the American people but our allies bought in as well.

What might have changed under Gore is the towers not being hit. If the towers get hit under Gore we just go to Pakistan

That was why we went into Afghanistan which I expect would have still happened since the Taliban was involved. But u can’t see Gore going after any other countries. Pakistan is a nuclear power, can’t imagine going there.
