If Daschle has made noises about reviewing DOD expenditures, then you have it. Bush will not abandon the troops he sent to fight a war, and thanks to Jim Jeffords, Daschle has the power to make those noises into credible threats. Or would you rather have the rug pulled out from under our troops with the job not done? The media will take Daschle's side in this.

If Daschle had threatened to yank funding for the war, Bush could have used his bully pulpit to destroy Daschle's position. In fact, the White House could have used the issue to deflect attention from their veto of CFR to Daschle's partisan politics.

We must take the Senate back, or else we are toast.

I agree. And I believe we will.

The media would have covered for Daschle, espeically with CFR at stake. No, I do not see how that would happen. And fi there was a fight, the Dems would back Daschle on that. We should not kid ourselves. They threw out soldiers' votes, no problem. Why should any of this other crap be different?
