Daschle Then (1998) During the Clinton Administration, Senator Tom Daschle - now the Senate Minority Leader --lobbied for a Congressional resolution to take "all necessary measures" to respond to the Iraqi threat. At the time, a large number of U.S. allies opposed any U.S. military action. Daschle responded to questions about the need for action this way: "Look, we have exhausted, virtually, our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law.

Impeachment is in the air. Let's lay it squarely on the shoulders of the deserving. Little Tommy Daschle crossed the line tonight in his remarks. "I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war," Daschle said in a speech to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country." Saddam Hussein receives a pass. Daschle is anti-American and indecent. He deserves to be impeached based solely...
