Gore: "I Waited Two Years" To Criticize Bush
CNN: Former Vice President Al Gore Friday took his successor Dick Cheney to task for aggressively criticizing President Obama so soon into the new commander-in-chief's presidency.
In an interview with CNN, Gore said he himself had refrained from criticizing President Bush until well into the run up to the Iraq war — more than two years after the Clinton administration came to an end.
"I waited two years after I left office to make statements that were critical, and then of the policy," he said. "You know, you talk about somebody that shouldn't be talking about making the country less safe, invading a country that did not attack us and posed no serious threat to us at all."
