Column: Worthless Democrats
(09/26/02 4:00am)
Have you noticed that the Democratic Party has no foreign policy? Its leaders neither support nor oppose a pre-emptive military invasion of Iraq. On the one hand, Tom Daschle agreed to schedule a vote probably authorizing an unlimited use of force (think Gulf of Tonkin) for which, he said, "I'm quite sure that the administration will enjoy pretty broad support." On the other hand, no Democratic leader other than Joe Lieberman has said that America should attack Iraq. Instead, most Democrats echo Daschle's accurate but meaningless generalizations: "We need to be very wary about going to war.... We shouldn't be out there as having concluded that that's the only way to get this job done."
