78. He voted AGAINST an illegal war and gave a speech outlining why it was wrong.

What did Hillary do? She voted for the war!

A war based on complete fabrications and lies.

Do you believe Saddam Hussein had something to do with 9/11? Or that they found WMDs in Iraq?

Voting for the war did NOT support National Security. In fact it was the exact opposite. Voting for the Iraq war sent American men and women into harms way over a complete fabrication of the facts that was so transparent the UN refused to sanction the war.

National security means making the CORRECT decision on matters of war and peace rather than just going along with a war based on lies. Bernie Sanders did not cower and took a firm stand while encouraging his colleagues to make the right vote as well.

Regrettably they chose to go along with the Bush war plans to save their Senate seats rather than doing the hard job of explaining why the war was WRONG to their constituents.....
