[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Then there's the uncomfortable fact that Daschle was the UberHawk when it came to Iraq in 1998. "Democrats for Regime Change" Weekly Standard, 9-16-02 Daschle not only supported military action against Iraq, he campaigned vigorously for a congressional resolution to formalize his support. Other current critics of President Bush--including Kerry, Graham, Patrick Leahy, Christopher Dodd, and Republican Chuck Hagel--co-sponsored the broad resolution: Congress "urges the president to [i]take all necessary and appropriate actions[/i] to respond to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Daschle said the resolution would "send as clear a message as possible that we are going to force, one way or another, diplomatically or militarily, Iraq to comply with international law." He also said "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?' That's what they're saying. This is the key question. And the answer is we don't have another option. We have got to force them to comply, and we are doing so militarily." And the then- BMOC, Billy himself said "We have to defend our future from these predators of the 21st century," he argued. "They will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein." In one of his diatribes, Daschle asked "What has changed in recent months or years" to justify confronting Saddam. A better question would be: What's changed to make some Senate Democrats no longer want to confront him? The only thing I can find that's changed is the political party of the man in the White House. Is that "politicizing war?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
