106. Barbara Lee was also the ONLY ONE to vote against the occupation of Afghanistan

Wed Oct 28, 2015, 02:45 PM

Oct 2015

because some Tribal War Lord was renting desert space to a handful of Saudis to play soldier.

America never understood that Afghanistan had no effective central government,
and ,as a country, was not responsible for 9-11. No Central Committee met and decided that the country of Afghanistan would attack the USA.
A dozen or so Saudi criminals were responsible, and we got them a long time ago, along with several multi thousand completely innocent Afghans and their families and friends.

Thank You, Barbara Lee for your understanding of Afghanistan, and your vote of conscience.
I stood with you.

Of course she smeared him Robbins Oct 2015 #1

Yep, her handlers must have told her... tex-wyo-dem Oct 2015 #59

Her "handlers?" Guess a woman can't make up her own mind. Nitram Oct 2015 #147

Oh, spare me the mysogonist crap... tex-wyo-dem Oct 2015 #155

Ok, so you're just being patronizing and condescending. Nitram Oct 2015 #156

And Sanders knew he was referring to Hillary when mentioned "shouting." They both are smart. nt kelliekat44 Oct 2015 #80

He wasn't referring to Hillary when he said "shouting." JDPriestly Oct 2015 #105
