In reply to the discussion: I stand with President Obama [View all]Cha
(297,196 posts)122. Fuck the bush-cheney war on Iraq and now the President has to clean it up. These Dems actually know
what's going on.. they realize that doing nothing about Daesh is not an option..
Jimmy Carter, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren all well respected leaders, have access and know a hellava lot more about this than those on the internet who can't grasp this isn't being run by the bush-cheney neocon crowd.
"I think we need to attack ISIS. I'm really concerned about them."
"Is the bombing of ISIS justified? I say yes. And I hope President Obama has every possible success in getting allies to join with us, some with ground troops effected inside Syria."

Bernie stands with the President on this "Enormously complicated issue".. as he calls it. He disagrees with staying out of ISIS like some around are clamoring on about.
As he stated it's an "International effort" and guess what.. "they have to put money in it too."
Senator Sanders also said Assad Gassed his own people.. whether the conspiracy theorists around here believe it or not..
Hartman and he talked about one republiCon saying.. they'll "blast him if it doesn't work and ask why he didn't do it sooner if it does." Sounds like a familiar whine.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she supports President Obama's decision to authorize airstrikes in Iraq
BOSTON Warning against a new U.S. war in Iraq, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday stood by President Barack Obamas decision to authorize targeted airstrikes to help defend Americans in Erbil, Iraq, and provide aid to a religious minority taking refuge in the Sinjar mountains.
Its a complicated situation right now in Iraq and the president has taken very targeted actions to provide humanitarian relief that the Iraqi government requested, and to protect American citizens, Warren told reporters. But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she supports president Barack Obama's decision to authorize new airstrikes in Iraq but cautioned against U.S. involvement in a new war in the Middle East.
