1. Asks "Are we willing to take this risk?"

If you really want to be sure about Assad not using chemical weapons then you have to take him out..

Plus he brought up the idea that this could lead to retaliation AT HOME.

3. oh dear. retaliation "at home"? god forbid the US tastes its own medicine...

[flamingdem]

6. It's happened before

does Obama want that to be part of his legacy?

[delrem]

11. Well, maybe. Nothing like a "terrorist strike" to ramp up war, and MIC profits.

But I'm being extremely cynical now - I'm in a truly depressed funk - and think I should stop posting for a few days. Cool down, do a bit of thinking.

[delrem]

2. He was strongly pro the Libya war.

His O'Reilly-like disrespect for Jeremy Scahill was very off-putting, to say the least.

[flamingdem]

4. He has improved on that front

Here's Bernie on to back up the sell job critique

[delrem]

8. good to hear. nt

[polichick]

5. He says there are people carrying Bibles around thinking this is the end times...

This aspect of it is fascinating, though scary.

[polichick]

7. Bernie Sanders pointing out some (McCain etc.) are talking regime change.

[flamingdem]

9. They haven't been convincing about keeping it limited

for sure.

Bernie saying our leadership is as Policeman of the World, losing in Health Care, Education..

[polichick]

12. He's realistic about what's to come - cuts for programs to help Americans.

[flamingdem]

14. This justification of military spending is making me cringe

We can't afford it at all.

10. Bernie is also a No vote!

[flamingdem]

13. Bernie rocks as usual
