"Worth the Price?" New Film Shows How Biden Played Leading Role in Push for U.S. to Invade Iraq

[Beringia]

On Democracy Now, they show a good portion of the actual film.

The Democratic presidential candidates face off in Las Vegas Wednesday night ahead of the Nevada caucuses. Nevada could be a decisive state for candidates who performed poorly in Iowa and New Hampshire, including former Vice President Joe Biden. As Biden hopes for a comeback, a new short documentary sheds light on his extensive role in the Iraq War — an issue that has been raised repeatedly on the campaign trail. Biden has apologized for supporting the war, but the new film, directed by the Center for Economic and Policy Research’s Mark Weisbrot, exposes Biden’s central role in pushing for an Iraq invasion. It’s called “Worth the Price? Joe Biden and the Launch of the Iraq War.” The documentary is narrated by Danny Glover.

4. Sanders has taken Biden to task for his Iraq vote, but based on this report...

...Sanders has gone easy on him. He didn't merely vote for it or support it, but he whole-heartedly championed it, actively lobbied for it.

As I go look up this guy. Who funded this “ movie”.

6. Lots of people helped sell this lie to the world.

I couldn’t care less who gets damaged by this “movie” because my concern isn’t with them. It’s with the hundreds of thousands....maybe millions....who were killed, maimed, wounded, displaced, traumatized, blown apart, burned. I’m concerned about the suicide rates, the ruined lives, the destroyed families, the PTSD, the nightmare, the White Phosphorus, the refugees.

Was it worth it? Hell no.
