Highlights from Wednesday's debate between Democratic presidential candidates Vice President Al Gore and former Sen. Bill Bradley, as transcribed by the Federal Document Clearing House
Candidates on what they would do about the current hike in gas prices:
BRADLEY:
... The first part of the question might deal with the Persian Gulf, which of course is a place of insecure sources of oil. There's Iraq, there's Iran , there's Saudi Arabia, each of which has its own vulnerabilities. And so I believe that we have to try to continue to keep the pressure on Saddam Hussein. We have to seek to better the relationship with Iran . We have to keep a solid relationship with Saudi Arabia. And it's important that we also keep a strong relationship with Turkey, so that we have encircled diplomatically Saddam Hussein.
