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.

Daschle's done the "open mouth, insert foot, chow" trick so many times that he has no legs remaining on which to walk. And now he just detonated a [political] grenade in his hand. He's already a triple-self-amputee aiming for complete political suicide.

Dump Daschle, South Dakotans! Do it! Vote Thune in 2004.

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.

PS--Does anyone know of a decent, reasonably-priced ($20-$30 or so) Bb harmonica that isn't made in China or Germany?

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.
