John......

Two things come to mind...

Daschle will not be jumping ship on the war effort right away.

> Also Lieberman is going against all presciption for the unwashed by taking Cipro. He is always running his socialist mouth about the little people, the ones no one cares about. Want to bet he went to the Senate medical staff, for free, and got the Cipro for free. Damned hyprocrite....

"Daschle will not be jumping ship on the war effort right away" - cynicom . . .

I'm not so sure about that . . . I find this the second, perhaps worse, act of war against our nation, and being that weapons grade Antrax (as it is now being reported) generally only can come from a government or nation, this attack upon Senate staffers is an act of war, something I believer that Daschle will support 100 percent.

"Daschle will not be jumping ship on the war effort right away."

Very curious, wouldn't you say? Daschle will probably no longer oppose the terrorism bill being pushed by the administration; in fact, he and the other Democrats will probably ramrod it through. And Tom Brokaw and his counterparts will doubtless have a whole new perspective on the war against terrorism.

Why would the terrorists want to radicalize these two factions who previously were not as suuportive of the war effort as other aspects of American society? Are the terrorists just that stupid? How can someone who can manufacture or have access to weapons grade anthrax possibly be that stupid?

Hmmmm?

Opps! looks like I misread your post, though you said Daschle WOULD be jumping ship on the war effort - I agree, I don't think he will be jumping ship, this act of war against the Senate will unite the effort, we could be looking at a Congressional declaration of war against a nation very soon, e.g. if/when the weapons grade anthrax is linked to a government . . . again, weapons grade anthrax means without doubt a government was behind this . . . again, laugh, but many see a thread if you look at it closely and the political enemies, who these enemies are communicating with, et all, from Iraq to Cuba then on to Florida as a possible route for Anthrax . . .
