Iraq War Spending Bills to Aid Veterans and Vermonters

Between 2003 and 2011, the United States Congress tried to pass ten different bills to fund the Iraq War, one per year. Bernie voted against six, and voted for these four:

2006: Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery
2007: Department of Defense Appropriations Act
2008: Supplemental Appropriations Act
2011: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year

Why did Bernie vote in favor of those four bills?

First, it may help to explain why he had voted against the other six. The Bush administration, backed by a Republican-controlled Congress, made a habit of funding its occupation of Iraq on an emergency basis in order to minimize congressional scrutiny, circumvent legal limits on the federal government’s debt ceiling, and understate the true cost of the war.

The first time Bernie voted for an Iraq war spending bill was in 2006, when the bill included funding for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The second time, in 2007, he did so because he managed to insert an amendment into the bill giving a $1 million grant to the Vermont Department of Veterans Affairs (the VA) to help returning veterans cope with their health care and mental health needs upon returning home. The third time was when the 2008 legislation incorporated a massive expansion of G.I. Bill benefits that Bernie co-sponsored — and which the Bush administration opposed — that guaranteed full scholarships to veterans, including activated National Guard troops and reservists, with three years of service attending any public, in-state university and expanded benefits for students at private colleges and for graduate schools. Finally, in 2011, he voted for another spending bill, with the understanding that it would fund the conclusion to the war in Iraq as Pr

32. So financing the war gets a pass, but voting for it is equated with a Satanic act

I'm taking notes this time, as it is difficult to track the Sanders hypocrisy from one faux outrage to the next.

Thanks!

[JaneyVee]

34. Bernie voted for Afghanistan.

[Live and Learn]

38. And you can't see the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan?

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 making that war illegal. It really helps if one knows some history.

[Turin_C3PO]

8. Clinton's not going to ban guns.

Don't give the repukes fodder.

[JaneyVee]

11. No, but Bernie voted against gun control over 5x.

[Live and Learn]

12. Annie Oakley ban guns? Of course not. nt

[Human101948]

10. And you really believe that Hillary is going toi change that?

How exactly? With the help of all the Republicans that her pal DWS got elected?

[JaneyVee]

16. You think Bernie is going to end wars?

Even though he said he would continue them?

[Human101948]

24. I think he would avoid them more than Hillary who is a well known hawk...

Supporting the military once it is committed is the right thing to do. Sending them in the first place is the mistake.

[JaneyVee]

26. A hawk? Bernie voted for more wars and war funding than any candidate running.

[hellofromreddit]

17. How many are killed by our shit "healthcare" system?

How many are killed by drug addiction?

How many die during or after our frivolous wars?

How many are killed by abusive and neglectful law enforcement?

How many are killed by poor infrastructure?

How many homeless die of exposure, malnourishment, and violence?

How many are dying of simple depression?

How many young women are killed by a lack of access to gynecological services?

How many die from extreme weather?

How many die from pollution?

I'll bet you none of those people ever gave a shit about suing some gun factories.
