WASHINGTON - Al Gore (news - web sites) on Thursday accused President Bush (news - web sites) of lying about a link between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) and said the president refuses to back down from that position to avoid political fallout.



"They dare not admit the truth lest they look like complete fools for launching our country into a reckless, discretionary war against a nation that posed no immediate threat to us whatsoever," Gore, the former vice president who lost the presidency to Bush in 2000, said during a speech at Georgetown University Law Center.


Republicans responded that the Democrat's assertions were false and out of touch.


Ken Mehlman, Bush's re-election campaign chairman, admonished Gore for delivering "another gravely false attack" and the Republican National Committee (news - web sites) contended he was out of touch.

4. More Than Half Now Say Iraq War a Mistake

Keep making those speeches
Maybe we can wake up the rest of America


For the first time, a majority of Americans say they think the United States made a mistake sending troops to Iraq, according to a poll released Thursday.

The CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll found that 54 percent of people say the war was a mistake, up from 41 percent who felt that way in early June.

The poll also found that more than half say the Iraq war has made the United States less safe from terrorism. Only a third said it made this country safer.
