GORE FLASHBACK From an Associated Press story that ran April 30, 2000:
Not a bullseye, maybe. But he doesn't miss by much...
Al Gore on Sunday went after George W. Bush's approach to foreign policy, saying the Republican presidential candidate ''dangerously fixates on the Cold War past'' in a mentality that will not serve the best interests of the United States and the rest of the world.[...]
Gore dismissed Bush's foreign policy as lacking on 21st century national security challenges such as terrorism, narcotics trafficking, the global environment and international family planning, for which Gore supports additional U.S. aid.
''One has to assume that these gaps in Governor Bush's foreign policy views and experience will be filled by the ideologies and inveterate antipathies of his party the right-wing, partisan isolationism of the Republican congressional leadership,'' Gore said.
Not a bullseye, maybe. But he doesn't miss by much...
