OK, I am going to DESTROY this argument ONCE again.

Bernie this is bullshit!!!!
Just STOP with this tired attack line.

Joe did NOT order the attack on Iraq, Bush did.

Joe didn't plan the military strategy, Bush did.

If Joe had been president at the time, he would NOT have attacked Iraq.

Joe's vote was NOT the tie breaker..
Joe's NOT responsible, Bush is.
It did NOT matter how that Iraq Authorization vote would have turned out.
Bush was going to attack Iraq with it or without it.

Bush had lawyers including John Yoo already giving him cover to do what he wanted.

Bush's lawyer at the DOJ, was busy writing memos, allowing Bush any authority he wanted.

This was how Bush was covering his ass.

Bush would have gone to Iraq, NO MATTER what. Image
Hillary or Joe being blamed for Bush's actions is ridiculous and it's re-writing history to HELP Bush and HURT the Democratic Party, it needs to STOP.

Hillary explained what she was voting for, NOBODY listened.

Joe nor Hillary were the deciding vote.

Bernie literally had NO skin in the game in 2002, he was in a TINY hippie state of Vermont... and, he was NOT in NY, Hillary was.

His vote either way, was NOT going to kill his career.

People often forget, the polls at the time showed overwhelming support for the Iraq War. Image
But, again, it does NOT matter
Bush was going to attack Iraq, no matter what.

If Joe Biden had been President, or Al Gore, or John Kerry, or Hillary Clinton.. we would NOT have attacked Iraq.

Joe even TRIED to pass a bill, requiring Bush to PROVE his case, before going to war Image
Biden and Hillary both felt pretty much the same... they wanted to be leaning in, finding out if Iraq did have WMD's.. and, also trying to restrain Bush.

at the time.. they didn't know of the memos that John Yoo had written, giving Bush cover to attack Iraq without authorization
Hillary's own words in the speech she gave on the senate floor when she was casting her vote, but to hear Bernie tell it, she was all about attacking Iraq.. which is a LIE

the same lie Bernie's trying on Joe. Image
WE have to stop allowing an Independent to paint the Democrats with the same brush that Bush is painted with... it's NOT only unfair... it's totally dishonest and it needs to STOP!

Bush was attacking Iraq with or without that vote, his mind was made up.

Now, let's talk about Bernie and how he's been LYING about his own Iraq War vote

Now, let's take a look at what Democracy Now had to say about Bernie in 2016... of course, they took a dig at Hillary while going after Bernie... but, it doesn't negate what they say about him and his record.

Bernie trying to pass himself off as anti-war is laughable. Image
It was actually Bernie's votes in the 90's that codified Regime Change in Iraq, into US Law. Image
Yes, this is TRUE... Bernie's voting with the NeoCons in the 90's, made Iraq Regime Change the LAW of the Land, paving the way to the Iraq war. Image
Bernie needs to STOP lying about the Democrats and the vote from 2002... it is sad and ridiculous.

Bernie had just as much of a hand in that war as Joe or Hillary.

Bernie needs to just shut the fuck up, STOP lying about Joe... and stop lying about his own Iraq War record.
"Sanders reached the same conclusion on one aspect that many Democrats did at the time, including Biden, after listening to the intelligence: that the threat from Iraq wasn't "imminent" and that the U.S. shouldn't act unilaterally."

Here another things that many people seemed to have missed.

Saddam, was trying to make it appear as if he had WMD's, as to NOT look weak in the eyes of Iran. Image
