Daschle wants to wait until after the election to hold this debate. No doubt Saddam supports that idea.

Daschle wants to wait until after the election to hold this debate

So Tommy thinks we should raise taxes and sit back and wait to be nuked by a madman

Oh good plan you got there Tommy

So Daschle thinks the elections are MORE important than our national security. About right?

If Bush presents his case to a televised joint session of Congress, there is no way that Daschle can refuse a debate and vote on Iraq. If he does, he risks coming back after the mid-terms with about 7 fewer Democratic senators.

GWB has Daschle by the shorthairs. Every time Daschle delays or prevaricates, it helps ensure a GOP senate.

Daschle wants to wait until after the election to hold this debate. No doubt Saddam supports that idea.

However, when Bush asks them to debate it (soon, probably), then Daschle's in a hole. He can't say yes, and he can't say no. He's simply squashed by events.

Any bets on when Bush asks?
