Speaking of Mr. Daschle,
Mark Steyn had this to say:
Meanwhile, every ten minutes or so, the funereal Senator Daschle pops up on TV and announces gloomily that he still has ‘a number of questions’ about Iraq that the President needs to answer. It must be quite a number, because, no matter how many answers the President gives, for Daschle there are always ‘a number of questions that still remain’. Actually, the only remaining question is how much longer the Democrats’ most visible spokesman can afford to go on making himself look like a total idiot. What question does he still need answered? ‘What’s the capital of Iraq?’?
I think it's obvious to all now that Senator Daschle's "questions" were not questions at all, but rather a rhetorical device with which he hoped to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt among the people, for his own political advantage.
That he would do such a thing is understandable given the position he is in, but it divides the nation at a time when unity might be important to survival. I think he has since realized that the tactic was hurting his own Party; we haven't heard any more from him about his "questions" since the President spoke.
Because Jim's done me the courtesy of giving me a straight answer -- no bs, no exculpatory junk, no viciousness, no animosity, no accusations, no minutia in which I have ZERO interest whatsoever -- I'm doing my best to respect his wishes.
Because I still have great regard for you despite your perpetually doubting me, I'd like to reply to your comment, however.
