HAHAHA CNN: You can't equate Sandy Hook with Iraq vote

Some hack just said Bernie calling Clinton to apologize to Iraq victims is not the same as her asking to apologize to Sandy Hook victims. WOW. WOW.

Clinton voted and supported for Iraq War. Her vote directly lead to the war.
Bernie HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH Sandy Hook. It was crazy wacky kid who did it. It would even be crazy to ask GOP congress to apologize for their lack of support for any common sense gun legislation because its tough to make direct link.

Clinton is 1000x more responsible to Iraq war victims than Sanders is to the victims of Sandy Hook

If former first lady and high profile Senator was not cheerleading it, but instead was leading the opposition. If the dems weren't giving Bush bipartisan support, maybe the war doesn't happen.

That is irrevelant anyway. It is fair to hold politicians accountable for their votes.

Clinton voted for the Iraq war. What piece legislation did Bernie vote for her leading to Sandy Hook?

And the Dems could have made a lot of hay with that, perhaps even won the 2004 election on that alone had they not been chained to that vote.

Hillary Clinton worked a miracle for Bushco, and she has been rewarded for it. She owns it.

They are delusional. The Clinton Foundation is a dirty outfit. The Clinton's have killed many over the years. Then they point fingers and make excuses when all goes wrong.

There is a direct line connecting Hillary not only to the deaths of the victims in the Iraq War, but so many more.

Syria, Libya, and even the deaths of the millions of children under age 5 in Iraq resulting from her husband's trade embargo that for so many years prevented them from getting proper medical and food resources to feed them.

I wonder if Hillary would agree with Albright who said:

"On May 12, 1996, Madeleine Albright (then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations) appeared on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" and Albright replied "we think the price is worth it." Albright wrote later that Saddam Hussein, not the sanctions, was to blame. She criticized Stahl's segment as "amount[ing] to Iraqi propaganda"; said that her question was a loaded question;[62][63] wrote "I had fallen into a trap and said something I did not mean";[64] and regretted coming "across as cold-blooded and cruel".[65] The segment won an Emmy Award.[44][66] Albright's "non-denial" was taken by sanctions opponents as confirmation of a high number of sanctions related casualties.[56][62]"

Made great point. Bernie was against AR-15 and assault weapons. If he had his way, there would be no Sandy Hook.
