I wouldn't be surprised if she supported that war, is NOT a claim that she did.

Bernie said that about Albright and political judged it as a mostly false claim.

I hate to break it to the politifact gang, but that is not a claim of fucking anything at all.

And politifact even published this in their condemnation of Bernie:


When asked if she agrees with the premise of the war, Albright said, "I personally felt the war was justified on the basis of Saddam’s decade-long refusal to comply with UN Security Council resolutions on WMD (weapons of mass destruction)."

The liar isn't Bernie. It's the folks at politifact. And this is not unusual.

but we just can't be confused by mere words, can we?

'The word “complex” does not win applause in a political speech. Nuance is not welcomed. “We need a revolution,” is more powerful than “I have a plan.”'
