constant ragging on Hillary for her Iraq vote as if she was the only one to vote for the Resolution. It is deceptive and wrong for him to do so.

and we can see how he's lacking leadership skills!

Examples: Trip to the Vatican! That was very bad judgment!
Condoning bullying and threats of violence! Not a leader whatsoever!

Man oh man! cannot wait for the day I can start forgetting BS and his co.

...it was a move to force Iraq to allow the UN inspectors to go in and finish their jobs, and then was taken advantage of by the Bush administration who knew they were lying about "weapons of mass destruction."

This is extremely helpful objective information. I hope you can post it in GDP so some of the some of the more myopic Bernie supporters can at least be making decisions from a basis of reality.

They need to understand that our Democratic Senators are faced with critically important life or death decisions. That they have the weight of those decisions on their shoulders and do not take them lightly. The world is not a peaceful place and there are many people who struggle and die under oppressive regimes. The utter sanctimony and rigid thinking of some does not take into account the compassion and desire to protect that drives some of these very difficult votes to take action. Bernie and Hillary have been faced with those responsibilities and have made those votes.

Great post, thank you.

He also votes to continuing to fund the F-35, a weapon of war, says he would use military force and drones, yep the war hawk.
