Gore loosing Tennessee is irrelevant. He could have lost every other state in the US and what would have happened in Florida would have remained the same.

My opinions on Iraq have changed quite a bit since I first published this article so I won’t die on this hill. I will say that we had no evidence he had them at the time of the invasion, but that didn’t mean he didn’t previously have them. Several United Nations inspectors denied the claims of Saddam having WMD’s, for example.
