Are you asserting that Al Qaeda liked Gore enough to suspend their vendetta?

They're asserting that they want to live in a world where two things are true.

- Gore was declared winner of the 2000 presidential election

- the WTC wasn't attacked on September 11th, 2001.

the two don't have to be connected to be wishes.

Bush's team ignored Clinton's team attempt to handover what they knew about the threats (in these threads someone mentioned Richard Clarke's book, I remember reading a 2003 TIME article, you can probably also read the results of the congressional investigation).

If the Supreme Court hadn't done the shenanigans in Florida, Clinton's team would've been Gore's team, and who knows, maybe those hijackers would've been caught...
