 The Hypocrisy of Tom Daschle "I'm saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war. 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." -Tom Daschle (Dem) Mar. 2003
We have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that... We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily." -Tom Daschle (Dem)1998, when President Clinton bombed Iraq
