Absolutely. I will finish that quote: ``He, Saddam, had already conducted extensive terrorism activities and Bush looked the other way. He was already deeply involved in the effort to acquire nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and he, President Bush, looked the other way. ``Well, in my view the Bush administration was acting in a manner directly opposite to what you would expect with all of the evidence that it had available at the time. Saddam Hussein's nature and intentions were perfectly visible.'' Again, a major policy speech made by then Senator and Vice Presidential candidate Al Gore, September 29, 1992.
