| Daschle sez Bush "failed miserably" |
| 2003-03-17 |
| Sen. Tom Daschle, who voted for the October resolution, lashed out at President Bush on Monday, saying he had "failed so miserably" at diplomacy in the crisis with Iraq that the United States now stands on the brink of war. "I'm saddened," Daschle, a South Dakota Democrat, said in a speech to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. "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. But we will work, and we will do all we can to get through this crisis like we've gotten through so many." |

| #15 Well, that makes diplomacy overrated if Daschle's all for it. I just hope he snaps and has his Trent Lott moment. |

| #14 As a native South Dakotan (now living in Pennsylvania), I am ashamed that Tom Daschle represents South Dakota. Oh, no! Does that make me a Dixie Chick? |

| #12 Well at least he wasn't disappointed. Hmmm, maybe he's sad his contributors will not be getting any big rebuilding contracts. |

| #9 Daschle has marginalized himself every time he opens his mouth. He used to piss me off, but now I realize that he is just Arnold Peck the Human Wreck. The only silver lining (read: anvil) in his cloud is that his pathetic mouth will bring him down. Thank goodness and Inshallah, I guess...... |

| #8 Did he consider it "OUT- rageous!"? Said it in front of a government employees union meeting too. How Dimbo. |

| #7 Dork, er...Daschle, needs to get a new schtick - "saddened" is wearing pretty thin. Pretty soon now even the true believers will start to notice his total lack of imagination. |
