“We have to be crystal clear about the threat we face from terrorism. It is deadly. It is real. It is imminent.”

Al Gore (1948) 45th Vice President of the United States

Quotes, DNC Address (2004)
Context: We have to be crystal clear about the threat we face from terrorism. It is deadly. It is real. It is imminent. But in order to protect our people, shouldn't we focus on the real source of this threat: the group that attacked us and is trying to attack us again: Al Qaeda, headed by Osama bin Laden? Wouldn't we be safer with a President who didn't insist on confusing Al Qaeda with Iraq? Doesn't that divert too much of our attention away from the principal danger?
