By turns polite and prickly, Al Gore and George W. Bush debated stark differences on a wide range of issues Wednesday night, treading carefully to avoid offending voters or breaking precedent with their presidential mentors.
It got a little bit personal in the end to keep things lively.
Seeking an advantage in their nip-and-tuck race for president, the major party candidates painted different visions of the role of American military power overseas, with Gore defending humanitarian and nation-building missions and Bush warning that the U.S. forces are overextended.
The policies of President Clinton and former President Bush loomed large over the second of three presidential debates.
Gore suggested the United States could have saved lives if the Clinton administration had acted earlier in Rwanda and Bush chuckled slightly when asked to assess foreign interventions spear headed by his father.
The candidates agreed in many remarks on many matters, but clashed often on foreign policy, hate crime legislation, same-sex marriage, gun control, health care, taxes and the environment.
Time and again the rivals took pains to stress their agreements, sensing that voters are turned off by conflict.
Gore, in particular, had to mind his manners after his heavy sighs and interruptions put off
some voters in the last debate.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The first priority has to be on ending the violence, dampening down the tensions that have risen there. We need to call upon Syria to release the three Israeli soldiers that have been captured, we need to insist to Arafat to send out instructions to halt some of the acts of violence that have been going on."
SUPER CAPTION: Al Gore, Democratic Presidential Candidate
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Particularly now during this difficult period we need to be speaking with one voice and I appreciate the way the administration has worked hard to calm the tensions. Like the vice president, I call on Chairman Arafat to have his people pull back, to make the peace. I think credibility is going to be very important in the future of the middle east. I want everyone to know that should I be the president, Israel is going to be our friend, I'm gonna stand by Israel. Secondly, I think it's important to reach out to moderate Arab nations like Jordan, Egypt."
SUPER CAPTION: George W. Bush, Republican Presidential Candidate
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"So, I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation building. I think our troops ought to be used to fight and win war. I think our troops ought to used to help overthrow a dictator when its in our best interest. But in this case, it was a nation building exercise. The same with Haiti, I wouldn't have supported either."
SUPER CAPTION: George W. Bush, Republican Presidential Candidates
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I would certainly also be judicious in evaluating any potential use of American troops overseas. I think we have to be very reticent about that. But, look Jim, the world is changing so rapidly, the world's getting much closer together. The United States is now the natural leader of the world, all these other countries are looking to us. Now, just because we cannot be involved everywhere, doesn't mean we should shy away from going in anywhere."

Who's here after the Trump/Biden debate just to see what normal looks like
It’s crazy how competent dialogue is no longer the norm.
Me me me.
Trump made bush look normal lol
who's here after....stfu attention whore
Do you remember the debate where Al Gore crossed the stage with such menacing body language that we all thought he was going to throw a punch at GWBush? Well, he did. Sitting at a table is a much better idea than standing at lecterns or sitting on high barstools.
This is so... civilized compared to today's debates.
David Schultz boring as hell too... You don’t need zzzquil because you could fall asleep through this

"It was a nation-building exercise, I wouldn't have supported either."
The height of irony.
He didn't support nation-building in Iraq either, which was the problem
can we get the entire debate instead of this edited pile of garbage. I can go back and retrieve the Nixon vs Kennedy debate, in full, yet i can't find the complete debates from 1991 to 2008 .
YEAH. I WANT TO SEE THE FULL DEBATES. DAMMIT.

I wanted to look back at these debates to see if the debates back then were as undignified as the ones today. It's an honest shame to see how ridiculous the debates have gotten within recent years
These debates are so boring!! Yuck
What a stark contrast from the last debates..
Jesus. After last night's debate even GEORGE BUSH looks like an effing genius
Anyone watching this in 2020? I remember this debate. I was ten.
Me To From Indonesian☺
I was 12 and I remember watching this with my dad 20 years ago
I'm looking for the clip in Oliver Stone's "Untold History of The U.S." if anyone knows where I can find it that would be greatly appreciated.
The whole episode is on youtube if you scroll down enough after searching it
These are the types of Republicans and Democrats I'd like to see again.
Hell no. This is nothing more than a thin veneer of politeness cast over institutional rot, creeping corporate power, and moralizing cults.
Man this is better than trump vs biden, but this one quote bothers me “Gores plan will increase the size of the government” (meanwhile bush goes on to increase the government size for the war on drugs.) Edit: I am dumb not the war on drugs, the war on terror
Never liked this guy Bush but you gotta admit he was very clever in debates. He looks more comfortable and confident than Gore here

simpler, happier times for America
??? Bush lied... People died.. He went from 0 to 360 in 3 years...
ya happier 1 year later came 9/11 you fucking moron
@@meddle903 You are a fucking moron
How?
I lost a shit ton of money bc of the dot com bubble so this was not a happy time for me
the optics look normal, but the substance never really changed...
“Bush was an eloquent motherfucker in the debates” - Sam Hyde
Why the heavy editing, surely we should hear what the 2 of them said between the sound bites? I want to hear all the errs and umms please. 'I think our troops should be used to fight and win war'' has to be a Bush classic and Gores comment ''The old argument that the environment and the economy are in conflict is really outdated''. Of course the environment and the economy are in conflict because it's unsustainable.
I think gore was trying to say that efforts that would preserve the environment wont necessarily hurt the economy
What the fuck is up with the volume!?
Back when politicians actually spoke like civilized, respectful human beings
How the bar has sunk so low in the span of 2 and a half decades.
Al Gore was the same guy who said the world was going to end in 12 years. Bush looks pretty good here.
Truth is he was right
Al Gore answers on war scary, allowed Bush slippery answer to work
These are history events. History events come with a date and location. There is no date, or location for this debate, and this here is AP, a media organization.
And little did America know back then that on 9/11/2001, that America would go through the worst terrorist attack in history.
i think the key to these debates are gonna be that SAT 500+ word book, low key haha
Why Gore looked so arrogant ? maybe its just perception... but he could have get some class how to be likable during debates and in public
here to detox after last night's debate
Bush in nation building had me dead
Wow... how different debates used to be... Now you have Clowns vs Clowns.
Civility, its beautiful isn't it.
No it’s terribly boring

Low energy..
Why do you need to be entertained? It's not a fucking TV show, it's the government.

Lol this was a big deal at the time start of the new millennium alot of changes happened
Gore dug his own grave in these debates
Yup. He was so DULL and a weirdo. Bush had more charisma than Gore did. Sadly.
