EXPERTS AGREE: WAR GOING WELL! Glenn Reynolds I've written here repeatedly that things are going better in Iraq than anti-war critics have been claiming, and that the whole WMD issue is overblown. This, strangely, has caused some people to call me a Republican shill, along with other, meaner names. That's okay. I'm a lawyer and we have thick skin. But don't listen to me, listen to top Senate Democrat Tom Daschle (D-SD): Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., on Thursday praised the Bush administration's war and nation-building work in Iraq and said he has no serious concerns about the lack of weapons of mass destruction. Daschle told state chamber of commerce representatives meeting in the South Dakota capital that he is satisfied with the way things are going in Iraq. "I give the effort overall real credit," Daschle said. "It is a good thing Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. It is a good thing we are democratizing the country." He said he is not upset about the debate over pre-war intelligence on weapons of mass destruction, an issue that has dogged President Bush as Democratic presidential contenders have slogged through the primary season. <font size=4> Neither am I! And how (er, besides the above) do I know that things are going well in Iraq? Because if they weren't, Presidential candidate John Kerry wouldn't be so anxious to talk about Vietnam instead. Back in 1992, George H.W. Bush's record of heroic military service didn't stop Democratic opponents from calling him a "wimp" for his waffling on policy issues. John Kerry is fooling himself if he thinks that talking about Vietnam will buy him a pass on important issues today. Kerry's going to have to find something solid to say about this war. Will he position himself to the left of Tom Daschle?
