The truth is, Daschle is well aware that as soon as the shootin' starts, this country pulls together like our foes........and the rest of the world.......just can't believe. That means that Bush will receive tremendous support from the populace, and his "numbers" will soar. That means, right before an election, that a Republican President will have sky-high numbers.......and that doesn't bode well for the Democrats.

It IS all about politics with Daschle. Period. End of story. Always has been.

Absolutely. If anyone is playing politics with this issue, it's the Rats. However, this time, their camp is fragmented. You have some like Zell Miller who want a vote because it's the right thing to do. Some want the vote because they want the issue off the table while they focus on the November election. Other dems don't want the vote because they fear the president could act before the election and America will rally behind Bush. And then you have Tommy boy Daschle who wants to wait until after the election, hoping Saddam blows up an American city so that he can blame Bush for doing nothing.

The weather is just beginning to get cooler in the Mid-East. Our soldiers are going to be laying siege to Baghdad in anti-chemical suits. Daschle wants to wait until a good part of the cool weather for the next 12 months passes before he votes to authorize our military to start this process. I guess Dachle, et al think that Congress should vote for authorization in January (or possibly in mid tolate December in a lame duck session with a lot of debate), just in time for our soldiers to get there for the beginning of the summer.

Little Tommie Daschle appears to be getting smaller and smaller and smaller.........

A well planned assault on Iraq would put Bush in the 85% range (approval ratings) overnight.
