From Neal Boortz (who has no permalinks): Will the Real Tom Daschle Please Speak Up?
Tom Daschle as the Senate Majority Leader, in October of 2002:
"We do know that Iraq has weaponized thousands of gallons of anthrax and other deadly biological agents. We know that Iraq maintains stockpiles of some of the world's deadliest chemical weapons, including VX, sarin and mustard gas. We know that Iraq is developing deadlier ways to deliver these horrible weapons, including unmanned drones and long-range ballistic missiles. And we know that Saddam Hussein is committed to one day possessing nuclear weapons. If that should happen, instead of simply bullying the Gulf region, he could dominate it. Instead of threatening only his neighbors, he would become a grave threat to U.S. security and to global security. The threat posed by Saddam Hussein may not be imminent. But it is real. It is growing. And it cannot be ignored."
Tom Dashcle as the Senate Minority Leader, in January of 2003:
"We have yet to see any evidence that Saddam still has weapons of mass destruction.”
When you hear people complain about the lack of principled leadership in Washington, this is a slice of what they're talking about.
