Simply put Bush dropped the ball and let al qaeda regroup and splinter off into many various groups that we now still fight today.
I'm pretty certain that Gore would have never gone into Iraq, but just like anyone else he would have gone intro Afghanistan, but with that as the only focus it would have most likely been finished by now.

There is no debate from me that Bush going into Iraq when he did gained nothing but dismal short-term results on every possible level. Long term, only time will tell. I do believe the world is a better place without the Hussein regime.
