I was right about Vietnam.

I was right about Iraq.

I will do everything in my power to prevent a war with Iran.

I apologize to no one.

1. What power does he have?

9. That ship sailed when Hillary lost the general...the time to prevent a war was

before Trump was elected by being all in to help Hillary win the general.

12. He Has the Power or All the Little People Who Gave Him Money

Sanders’ power comes from all the little people who contributed to his campaign.

2. Everything in US is geared to war, stopping it is very difficult when the party in power wants it.

drumpf is doing this to keep Bolton quiet, there is no other reason. He'd gladly cause millions of young American service people die so he could have his distraction from impeachment and secure Bolton's silence or lies. God, why doesn't he just die, like NOW, the world would be a much better place without him.

3. Blew his power to do that 3 years ago. Right's the word, though.

Projection seems to be in the air.

4. Afghanistan war vote: "I was wrong. So was everyone else."

That was different. Everyone else was wrong too.

5. Like he did everything in his power to defeat Trump?

[Demsrule86]

10. That is the rub. I don't think he did.

[LongtimeAZDem]

13. Agreed. Quite the opposite, IMO.

[Demsrule86]

16. Yes... did you notice the part about not apologizing...to whom I wonder

[booley]

22. 39 rallies on CLintons behalf

Almost half of them in less than two weeks.

He went to key battle ground state like Wisconsin which Clinton didn't

Yes, I expect he would put in just as much if not more energy into stopping a war.

6. He HAS no power, not even as a Senator, the "power" of which he hasn't exercised since July.

But will he apologize for his actions (or lack of actions) in the fall of 2016?

[Demsrule86]

11. And it burns that he has Stein supporters in his campaign.

7. You were wrong about the AUMF...

...which is what has been used for the vast majority of the military operations that we have been involved in overseas since 9/11.

Your shit stinks too, Sanders.

8. Invading Iraq and removing Saddam....

Was not nessecary the wrong call, particularly when the information presented to senators was that there were WMDs.

The mistake were made after the invasion, specifically the dissolving of the Iraqi military and blanket removal of all Bathists. It was that power vacuum, influx of now unemployed military-trained men, and erosion of social order that led to the insurgency and the ability for Iran to establish a block of power in Iraq.

Back then the problem became that we didnt have a plan for what to do after the initial military operations were over. I doubt this is any different.

[Demsrule86]

15. It was the wrong call period.

[Demsrule86]

14. Interesting... I apologize to no one?

[LongtimeAZDem]

17. Yep; he knows what he did, but he'll never publicly own up to it

This really removes any doubt as to whether the tactics of his staff were by his direction

[Demsrule86]

18. True that.

[Gothmog]

19. We need a nominee with foriegn policy experience

20. This is Bernie showing great leadership!

We need him now more than ever.

[Demsrule86]

21. We needed him a little over three years ago.

[BeckyDem]

23. +1. Everyone should.
