[lbo-talk] Would Gore have invaded Iraq?

[kelley at pulpculture.org]

Right after 9.11, a number of people insisted that, because the dems have 
such a drive to prove how tough they are, Gore probably would have done 
what Shrub did in Afghanistan and possibly worse.

It seems unlikely, though, that Gore would have gotten us into 
Iraq--particularly given what we are learning re: the obsession with Iraq 
among the Busheviks.

Also, a lot of people dismissed the idea that this was about oil. Given 
Clarke's revelations, this doesn't seem like such an absurd idea any more.

Counter arguments? Did I mischaracterize the positions once taken on the list?
