The only problem is, is that these individuals in the Senate that are being balky about this; don't seem to be afraid of most of the American people. Someone, somewhere is bolstering them up and supporting them, and they are sticking to their belligerent attitude no matter what happens. Just why they are, is a mystery. But one thing is apparent, they are not afraid of the American people, or they are plumb crazy!
Bush will give a televised address to a joint session of Congress by the end of September, in fact, I am guessing as early as the week of Sept 23. The House will act promptly and send the matter to the Senate. I cannot fathom how Daschle creates an escape hatch for himself by obstructing or killing such a resolution.
Can you imagine the commercials in key Senate races: "Paul Wellstone (insert all incumbent RATs) chose partisan politics over the well-being and safety of our young men and women in uniform in a time of war."
We set up the battle not between RATS and Bush, but rather between RATS and our military personnel. RATS cannot win that fight, and for the life of me I cannot understand Daschle's strategy to date. It is suicidal.
