It's been months! America is peace weary! Maybe it'll help the stock market, too.

Has he committed to withdrawing all US troops from the Middle East? No. That said, are you suggesting he wouldn't consult with our allies on their role?

Hard to say exactly what he would do because he wouldn't have invaded Iraq in the first place and there fore the current shit storm wouldn't be raging. Having said that, let's do a Google!

http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Bernie_Sanders_War_+_Peace.htm

"But I will say this. ISIS must be defeated primarily by the Muslim nations in that region. America can't do it all. And we need an international coalition. Russia should be part of it--U.K., France, the entire world--supporting Muslim troops on the ground, fighting for the soul of Islam and defeating this terrible ISIS organization."

"But I think that there's a lesson to be learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, then what a great military power like the United States is about is trying to use diplomacy before war and working with other countries rather than doing it alone."

On Afghanistan
"Clearly, we do not want to see the Taliban gain more power and I think we need a certain nucleus of American troops present in Afghanistan to try to provide the training and support the Afghan Army needs."

Lots more but I doubt you're actually interested beyond stirring shit.
