In reply to the discussion: The Sanders Campaign Criticism of Clinton's Iraq War Vote [View all]casperthegm
(643 posts)So what if her vote was one of many? They aren't running to be president. She is. And her judgement was poor, to say the least. You think we should talk about the war now? Well this one is a result of the war she previously voted for, so it's all connected, isn't it? And in this war she wants to initiate a no-fly zone in Syria. And what happens when Russian jets cross it? Because Putin isn't the type to back down. Then what?
And you don't vote for or against military action based on the poll of the people. You vote based on your knowledge.
Sanders predicted that the Iraq war would destabilize the region. And it did. Clinton tout's experience. Ok, she has experience but that experience reveals a checkered history regarding foreign policy, wouldn't you say?
