NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Former Vice President Al Gore has arranged to speak out on Iraq to an anti-war group in New York Thursday.

It will be Gore's first speech on Iraq since he came out against the Bush administration's push toward war last September.

A Gore spokeswoman said, "He's not planning on getting back into the (presidential) race."

Gore recently called the MoveOn organization and asked if he could address its members, a spokesman for the group told the New York Post.

He's set to speak to about 600 people at the Kimmel Center for University Life at New York University.

MoveOn, a national organization with 120,000 members in the New York City area, recently gave Democratic anti-war presidential candidate Howard Dean a big boost by conducting an online poll that Dean won.
