FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Posted by Clintno/Gore Email FRIDAY, October 30, 1992 STATEMENT OF SENATOR AL GORE BANGOR, ME -- This is a smoking gun that completely destroys George Bush's claim to the trust of the American people. For six years, he has told us he had no knowledge of and no participation in one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in American history. Now, we have evidence proving that what he has told the American people is untrue. The American people know that swapping arms for hostages is wrong because it encourages the taking of more hostages. That's why George Bush tried to hide his role from the American people. He told us he was out of the loop. But now we have explosive proof that he was not only in the loop, and fully informed about the arms for hostages deal, but he was on the illegal side of the argument. My mother used to say, "A lie has a thousand legs." It's time George Bush stopped running from the truth. #######
