	Yes, it is 100.  The 200 was from memory.

	Actually, you *can't* say he was wrong because Al "did not" Gore will
not give a number.  The *only* reason for not giving a number at this point
would be because it is even greater than 100 billion.

	Any way you want to slice it.  My memory errors do not make Gore right
or Quayle wrong.

	Ooooo, I am mortaly wounded!  Post something intelligent that is worth
actually looking up.

	Heh, I guess I'll leave it to the expert on freshman tactics.

	Oooooo, I am mortally wounded.

	Your "critique" ranks right up there with spelling flames.  But it's
even more proof that the Dems are trying to cover on this issue.  Talk about
page numbers and 100 billion instead of whether Al "did not" Gore wants the US
to fork over large sums of money *so other countries can benefit*.  Gosh, that
sounds a lot like the NAFTA and Caribbean plans.

	Gore is such a fool.
