The search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq should continue, but coalition forces don't need to find them to justify the war against Saddam Hussein, U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle said.
Wow! What a remarkable admission. Do you think the left that controls the heart and soul of the Democratic Party is going to go nuts?
The Democratic leader in the Senate, who had criticized President Bush's failure to find a diplomatic alternative to war, on Thursday applauded the president's leadership and the military's performance in toppling Saddam's regime.
Again, this is remarkable and shows what a couple of bad polls will do to adjust Tommy Boy's attitude.
"In 21 days, we eliminated somebody who, for 20 years, has repressed and tortured his own people and posed a serious risk not only to his country, but to countries all over the world, including the United States," Daschle said in a conference call with South Dakota reporters.
Doesn't this sound as if it was written by Karl Rove?
"Obviously, if these weapons exist, they still pose a threat, so I think the search must continue, but I don't think there's any more justification required than what we've already seen in terms of the purpose of the military operation. Regime change was a legitimate goal, it was accomplished, and I think that's laudable in and of its own right."
What an unbelievable statment. This will provide cover for Edwards, Gephardt, Lieberman, and (to a lesser extent) Kerry for their "support" for the war. Tepid support by most standards, but rabid by leftist standards. |
