Daschle Supported Regime Change in 1998 - Vanity
Daschle's Own Lying Words

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:Read what Daschle had to say about Saddam and his weapons back when Bill Clinton was president:
"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 hes .. saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that were now forced to go to war. Wow, thats quite a switch from his Clinton era pronouncements, isnt 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 doesnt blame Hussein for failing to live up to his agreement to disarm. He blames Bush for responding to Husseins failures and threats.

Well, they Didn't get them to comply, so doesn't that mean Dasc-hole and clinton are responsible for any American losses now?

Yes - that should have been put in the Source - thanks for mentioning that. He deserves the credit for digging up that quote from '98. Was too mad after reading to even type!
