Remember the campaign ad that Tom Daschle ran showing him hugging the President. The intent was to so how pro-war Daschle was. Yesterday’s Kranz column reveals the Daschle campaign was lying about that issue too:
Tom Daschle sounded like something more than a former senator Wednesday when he called for the beginning of troop withdrawal from Iraq next year.
His speech at Northwestern University in Illinois, in which he urged that the United States remove 80,000 of its 150,000 troops by the end of 2006, seemed more tailored for a presidential candidate.
"Included in those 80,000 troops should be all of the Guard and Reserve forces still active in Iraq," Daschle said. "We learned the hard way with Katrina that we do our homeland security a disservice if we keep the National Guard tied down in Iraq when their governors - and their families - need them here at home."
Kranz is still hoping his college buddy runs for President:
Daschle's comments came just three days before his scheduled address to the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Des Moines.
That appearance has renewed national discussion about his role, whether it be former senator, political activist or presidential candidate.
If he is running for President, you will see the far-left Tom Daschle who will cater to the anti-war kooks.
