I've called his office, e-mailed him, e-mailed Fox, CNN, Drudge. Contrast the following Daschle remarks in '98: In 1998, Clinton passed the Iraqi Liberation Act which called for regime change, but decided to bomb Serbia instead. Daschle supported that resolution by saying the following:

"Look, we have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so? ... The answer is, we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily."

And what is Daschle saying now? Now that we have a Republican in the White House who is finally going to do what Clinton should have done ten years ago? Daschle says that he’s “.. saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we’re now forced to go to war.” Wow, that’s quite a switch from his Clinton era pronouncements, isn’t it?

Daschle goes even further. He is getting on the bandwagon early to lay the blame squarely at the feet of George Bush for any fatalities American troops may suffer. Daschle doesn’t blame Hussein for failing to live up to his agreement to disarm. He blames Bush for responding to Hussein’s failures and threats. (credit Neil Boortz today). I've told Daschle that when we are at war, and for those of us with family members in harm's way in Iraq, we deserve better representation and demand an explanation for his distasteful partisanship. We will remember at re-election time.

I e-mailed Dass-hole last night with a message almost word for word the same as yours. I was so angry my hands were shaking as I typed!
My family is from South Dakota. My brother is in the Army Reserve and was called-up a month ago. I have been angry with Dass-hole before, but never this angry. I will make it my personal mission to do anything I can to disrupt his re-election plans!

A bump to your most excellent post, Peach.

Those contrasting positions are so wonderfully damning.
