Daschle lashes out at Bush for 'failed' diplomacy DeLay urges America to speak with 'one voice'

WASHINGTON (CNN) --Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle lashed out at President Bush on Monday, saying he had "failed so miserably" at diplomacy in the crisis with Iraq that the United States now stands on the brink of war.

What an insignificant little man.

Hes not a ballerina, hes a F******* howdy doody puppet, a Druid...NO HES A MELTED CANDLE, A MELTDOWN, ALL THE WAX MELTING DOWN HIS FACE, someone put him in a wax museum

[texasbluebell]

Mort Kondrake was shocked by the statement, calling it "unconscionable".

I'm really glad to hear that. Maybe if someone like Mort says it enough, and others pick up on it, the dems can be forced to shut up.

These whining socialists care not a fig what happens to anyone as long as their socialist programs are furthered. Sickening.

The democrats best be careful they don't paint themselves as the anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-American party. They wil pay heavily next November.

They already have. And they will.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

I hope that every American remembers how Daschle tried to undermine the men and women of the military at the moment they prepare to step onto the battlefield.We must never,ever forget the heinous actions of Daschle and the other Democrats. As far as I am concerned, this despicable little man just spit on every man and woman in uniform.

Hey, don't pick on Dashcle. He's my favorite failure. It's not his fault, it's liberal society that messed him up.

This meltdown A****** received anthrax through the mail not too long ago.

If there is a failure of diplomacy, it sure as hell is NOT to be laid at the feet of President Bush. The President and his able staff and cabinet members have done everything possible to avoid a conflict. They have bent over backwards, forwards, and sideways to allow the ever-increasingly useless Dis-United Nations to finally show some backbone, instead of forever passing worthless "resolutions", one after the other, each more stupid than the last.

It is the diplomatic failure of the UN, especially of certain members of the Security Council, that bear the burden of the casualties of this war. Instead of showing a united front against this petty little dictator, instead of demonstrating solidarity in the face of international terrorism, certain countries, like France, insisted on playing like the dirty little a**holes that they are, concerned only with making a few Francs and keeping the world from finding out just how much they have aided Iraq in the acquiring of technology and hardware to produce chemical/biological weapons.

The horror and casualties of this war are to be laid at the feet of France and Russia and China, and also the home-grown American idiot brigade, so weak-kneed are they, concerned more about trying to screw the US then preventing warfare. Their vacillation is all Saddam needed to keep up a false hope of reprieve. All of this might have been avoided had those nations not been so stupid.

First, the Democrats say that a hispanic isn't capable of being a judge. Now they say that a black isn't capable of diplomacy.

Is there no end to their racism?

Hey Tommy BOY, I believe it was Saddam who brought on war! (Not our peaceful President!)

Cut it out, FReepers, or I'll wake up "Sheets"!

[m1-lightning]

No kidding on the rascism issue. Doesn't it seem that Daschle and the Dems are using reverse psychology to manipulate their voters? It's like everything they claim or make accusations of has no basis, yet they have been guilty for those same very accusations that they make, hence my tag line.

[supercat]

Demos shooting themselves in the foot again in front of an informed public who knows that French diplomacy helped insure war and nothing could change their minds.

Indeed, Bush tried to pass resolutions which would give Saddam two choices:

• Disarm
• Be deposed

The French, Russians, and Germans, however, worked to offer him a third choice:

• Make suitable goodwill gestures without actually disarming and pre 'protected' from any U.N. action

If, at any time, it had been apparant to Saddam that option #3 wasn't going to work anymore, he might have selected option #1. Since the F/G/R have insisted that option #3 remain available, they successfully undermined any diplomatic effort to make him choose #1.

My thoughts! Great comment.

RE: Is Daschle a traitor? Only after the war begins. Then it is up to our President SD and the Senate to act.

[maxwellp]

My husband and I, as well as millions of Americans, are well aware that President Bush followed a diplomatic path regarding the Iraqi war. And this may have been a mistake, particularly going through the United Nations, which most Americans want gone. Daschle is completely out of line, but then he always is anti-American.
