2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie should say tonight: "This attack was a direct consequence of our actions in the Middle East."
If he takes a hawkish view ("we need to confront this evil that is affecting our friends"
, a lot of his supporters are going to have a severe case of cognitive dissonance.

(12,655 posts)don't agree with the cognitive dissonance part. but a u.s. led war is not in anyone's best interest...he should make that case as well as reminding everyone whose actions birthed isis.

(62,325 posts)policies. He has NO need to prove that again. But yes, he should quote HIMSELF when he predicted all this as he cast his vote against that terrible, massive crime in Iraq which as he stated at the time, would result in exactly the kind of tragedy in Paris among others.
AND he should state that Hillary did support these policies and point out that the world needs to take a different course.
He should ALSO point to Obama's peace initiatives with Iran AND to his administration's recent talks with Russia on Syria which, BEFORE THIS ATTACK, would have led to a CEASE FIRE.
He should state he agrees with Obama's policies, the man who was also AGAINST the Iraq War and was left to try to clean up the mess having to fight the neocons pressuring him to make things even worse, re Syria and Iran.

I hope he brings it tonight. No more letting her slide for all her bad decisions.
