@sillygoose Why did JFK refuse to provide air support for the Bay of Pigs? Also, off-topic, but do you think that there is any realistic way for a Saddam Hussein that somehow remains in power to make a move on the Sunni Arab-majority parts of Syria during the Arab Spring?

How exactly did JFK half-ass it? And what exactly makes you think that the US Deep State killed JFK? So, you think that Gore will conclude that a US war in Iraq will provide the US with a badly needed economic boost/boom?

JFK learned the lessons from the BoP by not doing anything similar in the future. And you don't think that the sheer cost and manpower requirements of an Iraq invasion would have deterred Gore just like they deterred Clinton?

If they're idiots, maybe. Smart Presidents could at least try to think for themselves. For instance, JFK and Vietnam. How so and what exactly would have changed in regards to this after 9/11? BTW, the Clinton Administration had no problem violating international law with its 1999 Kosovo...

So, he said that he doesn't know what he would have done with the relevant intelligence, only that he opposed it from his specific vantage point--as in, without ever actually seeing the relevant intelligence. But a US President Al Gore would have gotten access to all sorts of intelligence...

Yes, I did. And where exactly did Obama say that?

You mean in 2013? Gore opposed the Iraq War in 2002 because he did not believe that the timing and circumstances were right for it back then, no?

One take on this: https://hotair.com/allahpundit/2014/06/26/bill-clinton-if-not-for-the-u-s-invasion-none-of-whats-happening-in-iraq-right-now-would-be-happening-n190869

Also, would there be any realistic chance of an Iranian and/or Western military intervention into Iraq during the Arab Spring in a TL where Saddam Hussein is not overthrown beforehand? And how does this affect any plans that NATO might have had for Libya during this time?

1. What would a US President Hillary Clinton's policy towards Syria have been had she won the US Presidency in 2008 and subsequently won reelection in 2012? 2. How would Iraq and Syria have looked like during the Arab Spring in the 2010s had Al Gore won the US Presidency back in 2000?
