"-- In a strong challenge to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq, former Vice President Al Gore said Monday any unilateral action the United States might take against Saddam Hussein could distract from the war on terrorism. "I think specifically the Congress should establish why the president believes that unilateral action would not severely damage the fight against terrorist networks," Gore said during a 55-minute speech at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. "Great nations persevere and then prevail," Gore said. "They do not jump from one unfinished task to another. We should remain focused on the war against terrorism."
