Daschle: America Focused on Iraq, Could Have "Avoided" Georgia Violence
August 17, 2008 12:20 PM
ABC News' Ayana Harry Reports: Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle D-S.D. represented the Obama campaign discussing the Russia-Georgia conflict on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."
In a debate with Republican Mitt Romney, Daschle maintained "If we would have preemptively worked with Russia, with Georgia, making sure that NATO had the kind of ability and the presence and the engagement, we could have perhaps avoided this."

Pure meltdown mode as they realize they hitched their wagon to a Shitland Pony while we have a Clidesdale.
Pray for W and Our Troops
If Slick Willie had not been focused on Lewinsky, we could have avoided 09-11-01. What’s your point Tommy?
I still think Daschle is near the top of Obambi’s vp list along with Biden.
Well, there’s some truth in it. Bush must have had intelligence what was coming down the pike, but for whatever reason—maybe MORE bad advice from the State Department and the CIA—failed to take such obvious measures as giving Georgia the means of blowing up or temporarily closing the access tunnel.
But unfortunately Daschle is the last man to do anything like that. He and his pals would have blocked any such measures if they possibly could, and criticized them if they couldn’t.
Daschle’s IQ, critical reasoning, and strategic accumen rival that of an empty mayonnaise jar.
Who cares about what a failed Democrat senator has to say? What next? An extensive analysis from Jimmy Carter?
Hey, a guy's gotta have his priorities...
Debate? Strange...they didn’t report what Romney said. Oh......wait a minute, it’s ABC.
Daschle was asked if he’d accept an offer from Obama to run as VP. IDIOTS! Daschle lost his re-election as senator in ‘04, he couldn’t even carry his own state then and couldn’t now as a VP candidate.
And what specifically could President Bush done?
Pray for W and Our Troops
What’s Dashole up to now?
So he’s saying that we should’ve had our troops freed up for a direct military confrontation with Russia? Genius. /sarc
Obama would be a fool to pick him.
Hindsight is usually 20/20 but in the case of liberals it is even more warped and backwards than a carnival mirror.
I still think Daschle is near the top of Obambi’s vp list along with Biden.
Go with Biden. Much less polarizing the Daschle /SARC
Drop Dead Tom.
I only hope that was true.
Uh'bama needs to add that loser to his ticket that way they can be a matching pair
Dancing Daschle needs to be the inaugural recipient of the “Clear-Sighted Monday Morning Quarterback Award”.
This award needs to be funded by the DNC and declared a traveling trophy which gets awarded annually...with allowances for repeat winners..
His 15 min was over along time ago. Whiney lib alert.
SoldierDad: No, the empty mayonnaise jar at least has air in it. Daschle’s head is a vacuum.
You're both on the right track!
What if? What if? What if?
What if Tiny Tom had been normal size?
He wouldn’t have to buy his skivvies in the Petite Shoppe.
(Drum roll, if you please)
Somewhere during the night a flat rock flipped over and up popped little Tommy.Jeez,I wish he’d just shut up and go away.
Obambi needs an insider, someone with lots of D C experience and acumen in foreign affairs. I’ve read that Daschle and Obambi are very close friends and that Obama seeks and trusts Daschle’s counsel immensely (just like Cheney was and is to Bush). I agree with you, Daschle would be a dream pick for our side, but I think Obambi is looking for what he and Axelrod believe is a “safe” pick, yet someone who can still help him deflect questions about his lack of experience. I think Dashcle and Biden have probably moved to the top of the messiah’s list.
It’s a national disgrace that men like this ever get elected to public office.
he can see into his little crystal ball........
Of course it’s our fault that Russia invaded Georgia. More precisely, it’s George Bush’s fault.
The Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy?"
All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.
The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight.
My hindsight is more accurate than your hindsight, Tiny Tommy.
daschle ain’t the only bozo who’s saying this. The dim governor of Virginia said the exact same thing on ‘press the meet’. They both got the memo from b’rack.
LOL. I guess you nailed it.
As the facts have emerged, it seems evident that the Russian build up to the invasion took place over months, and must have been spotted by our observation satellites.
I don’t know whether we responsed or not to that with diplomatic messages (some people speculate that Bush gave permission to go in, but ONLY in defense of the “Russians” in the two trouble spots, and was lied to by Putin’s assurances), but we don’t seem to have supplied Georgia with a key essential—some means to close down the tunnel through which the Russian tanks had to come.
Unfortunately, it is pure guesswork as to why we didn’t take any preventive measures. Once the Russians got sufficient forces into Georgia, it was too late to block them.
Alright, how would the President know what foreign leaders are going to do from moment to moment?
Being Democrats have the House and Senate and many of them get the same security briefings, what is supposed to be their responsibility in this whole manner of reading minds and the future?
tiny tommie determined to remind us of how stupid he is.
