"I would think the United States would want to be in the same position it was at the point when we went to the U.N. in the early 90s [for the Persian Gulf War]," Daschle said. "If the international community supports it, if we can get the information we've been seeking, then I think we can move to a resolution.

"But short of that, I think it would be difficult for us to move until that information is provided and some indication of the level of international support is also evident," he added.

So Daschle's belief is even if he "gets the information" he needs (intelligence proof of Saddam's complicity in international terrorism) he wouldn't support doing the right thing (overthowing Saddam) unless everybody else in the "international community" agrees.

I'm not sure what to call that but it sure the hell isn't Leadership.

"Despite the new information, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., told Fox News he remains reluctant to support military action."

At the end of a victorious war with Iraq, I am conviced that Senator Daschle will still be contemplating the worth of our stifleing this tyrants WMD build up..as long as it's a Republican that is the reason for the victory.

Daschle shows his primary concerns time and time again and that is his partys well being NOT the American peoples well being.
