Once again Senator Tom Daschle expressed his regrets, not that his remarks were divisive and inappropriate, but that they were untimely.
"On the morning of Monday, March 17, Daschle told members of a public-employees' union he was "saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're forced to war, saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort so critical for our country."
Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Thursday he believes his remarks were ill-timed.
"I don't think the timing of those comments was necessarily the best. I think they could have been better timed," Daschle told South Dakota reporters Thursday. "I had no idea when I said them what the timing of the military operation would be."
Your humble blogger possesses not the diplomatic skill, sagacity nor intellect of the Senate Minority Leader. However even a simple fool can see that had the second UNSC resolution (diplomacy) succeeded we'd still be at war with the blessing of the United Nations Security Council. Would we not?
